The Australian musician has been in a divorce battle with the country star since May after nearly seven months of marriage

Firerose has a reason to celebrate amid her divorce battle with Billy Ray Cyrus.

On Thursday, July 18, the Australian singer-songwriter, 37, revealed in an Instagram Reel that she's become a U.S. citizen.

With Zach Williams' power ballad "Rescue Story" playing in the background, the video featured Firerose in a navy suit as she goes through the process of receiving her citizenship in Tennessee. In the clip, she can be seen holding an American flag and what appears to be a certificate from Senator Bill Hagerty. At the end of the visual, she shares an image of ice cream with candles in it alongside a note that says, "Congratulations."

"This amazing country’s been my home for 17 years. I couldn’t be more thrilled to become a US Citizen! ????????," she captioned the post.

After nearly seven months of marriage, the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer, 62, filed for divorce in May from Firerose. Since then, the split has taken an explosive turn, with both parties accusing the other of abuse in court filings.

In documents filed on Friday, June 14, the "New Day" artist accused Cyrus of “extreme verbal, emotional and psychological abuse," while the "Some Gave All" musician filed paperwork 10 days later alleging he was verbally, emotionally and physically abused by Firerose.

In a separate filing, Cyrus claimed that Firerose “had been conducting a campaign to isolate” him from his family, Meanwhile, in June, Firerose told the New York Post's Page Six that her ex had “very strict rules,” and she experienced “systematic isolation” at his hands.

Cyrus cited irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct in the initial divorce filing as reason for the split, something Firerose denied being guilty of in a response filing.

Her ex-husband also filed paperwork for an annulment on the grounds of fraud.

The former couple are also battling over finances.
