The post captioned:"With God on our side we’re stronger than we can even imagine. Thank you so very much for all the prayers. I deeply appreciate the outpouring of love & support." View this post on Instagram Instagram PostEarlier in May, the Australian singer claimed she was scheduled to have the preventative mastectomy that month but was forced to reschedule after her ex-husband filed for divorce one day before her surgery.Firerose and Billy Ray Cyrus agreed on a divorce settlement in AugustOn August 2, 2024, Billy Ray Cyrus and his ex-wife Firerose, whose real name is Johanna Rose Hodges, reached a divorce settlement three months after Cyrus filed for divorce. According to court documents obtained by People Magazine, the divorce was filed due to "irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct."The documents stated that his attorney alleged the Australian singer changed her last name from Hodges to Cyrus two weeks ago, which they claimed added to Billy Ray Cyrus's belief that she only married him for his name. However, an insider source claimed Firerose took the name Cyrus soon after their wedding in October 2023.According to People, the source alleged that the document included a clause asking Firerose to acknowledge she lied about carrying the BRCA mutation. However, the Australian singer's team debunked this claim by showing her medical records as proof.Her team claimed Cyrus was aware of her condition and chose to file for a divorce a mere day before her scheduled mastectomy, but Cyrus had previously claimed he was unaware of her condition.As reported by People on August 5, the source stated:"If this went to trial, Firerose and her team would have provided a significant amount of evidence to prove he fabricated a narrative that would benefit his public image. There is no doubt she would have been awarded the divorce, but it was much more important to her that this continuous smear campaign end."Billy Ray Cyrus was "very relieved" by divorce settlementBilly Ray Cyrus filed for divorce from Firerose in May 2024, and their divorce proceedings were marred with a constant volley of accusations towards each other. On June 14, court documents revealed that the singer accused her ex-husband of verbally, psychologically, and emotionally abusing her.Cyrus filed a counterclaim later, accusing her of abuse and "conducting a campaign to isolate” him from his family. On July 24, an audio clip of two people presumed to be the warring couple went viral on social media. In the clip, a voice that supposedly belonged to Cyrus was heard berating Firerose, calling her a "f**king selfish b***h."Following the divorce, Cyrus's attorneys issued a statement about the settlement, saying:"This past Friday the parties reached a settlement agreement at mediation to dissolve their 7-month marriage, and the Court declared the parties divorced this morning. Mr. Cyrus is relieved to put this nightmare behind him."On August 5, Billy Ray Cyrus also shared a statement to People Magazine, claiming he was "very relieved" by the settlement.
