Billy Ray Cyrus feels 'relieved' after divorcing Firerose as he believes she 'didn't marry him for love'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Billy Ray Cyrus feels he is better off without his estranged wife Firerose.

The country singer, who has filed for divorce from the 36-year-old recently, is ‘relieved,’ as per a close source. 

"His instincts have been correct all along. He believes she only married him for financial and other reasons. He's convinced that she didn't marry him for love," the insider told People.

What's the reason behind Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose's split?

In the May 23 filing, Cyrus mentioned irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct as reasons for the split.

Firerose responded to Cyrus' divorce filing with a counter complaint, on June 14, alleging that Cyrus filed just one day before she was set to undergo a preventative double mastectomy and accused him of "extreme verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse."

"Wife was subjected to Husband’s persistent drug use accompanied with the consumption of marijuana which made Husband unpredictable and volatile towards Wife," her attorneys wrote in the legal complaint.

Cyrus responded with a new claim in which he alleged that Firerose spent $96,986 on 37 unauthorized charges on his credit cards.

He added that she wrote him a handwritten note, begging him to reconcile,“I miss you more than I can possibly explain in words Baby. Please let’s work this out and not become anything but closer out of this hellish experience. I need you. I love you. I am so sorry," the alleged note provided by Cyrus' lawyers, Rose Palermo and Jason Talley of Cheatham Palermo and Garret read.
