Elizabeth Hurley Confirms Joyful Romance with Billy Ray Cyrus
Actress Elizabeth Hurley has shared the latest on her romance with country star Billy Ray Cyrus.
“Billy Ray. Indeed, Billy Ray is wonderful. We are extremely content, truly happy,” the 60-year-old Hurley disclosed to The Times of London in a piece released on Saturday, October 25.
“He adores it. Clearly, he has a fondness for England,” she remarked, discussing her partner's views on her homeland. “The summer climate is more pleasant here than in Tennessee. He resides 40 minutes from Nashville. It's incredibly scenic. Interestingly, it bears a strong resemblance to England. Perhaps comparable to Surrey.”
Hurley further disclosed that when they are united in Tennessee, they largely maintain a low profile, which might prove challenging due to their public professions. She mentioned that Cyrus frequently waits in the vehicle while she shops for groceries, as “he would be disruptive.”

“I recently trimmed his hair,” she shared. “We possess a considerable amount of hair collectively. There’s a perpetual risk of us choking on hairballs. His hair is quite voluminous. Before this is complete, it’s quite apparent. So, we effectively have contrasting hair, which we endeavor to unify in appearance eventually.”
The initial encounter between Hurley and Cyrus occurred in 2022, during their collaboration on Netflix's Christmas in Paradise, yet their relationship remained strictly professional until Hurley reached out to Cyrus via text in 2024.
“I didn’t even have her number, and it was like, ‘Hey, it seems life might be a bit challenging, and I just wanted you to know I’m supporting you. You have an ally,’” Cyrus recounted on Bentli’s Apple Music program in April 2025, describing Hurley as a “wonderful person” and “remarkably intelligent.”
The couple publicly appeared together on Instagram for the first time on Easter in April 2025, following a period of keeping their evolving romance private from social media for several months.
“Her close acquaintances have been aware of it for some time, as it's not a recent development,” an insider informed Us Weekly then, prior to the source adding that the British star “had made them all promise confidentiality, and they didn’t disclose it to anyone beyond her inner group, primarily comprising gay men.”
Hurley subsequently discussed her blossoming relationship during the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party held in New York City in May.
“I believe the public found Billy and my pairing somewhat unexpected. It isn't a shock to me, however, as we are actually quite alike and connect exceptionally well,” she stated on that occasion. “There's been a noticeable response. … We both enjoy frequent laughter, and we both appreciate rural life. Furthermore, we both enjoy country music, both appreciate films. We share many commonalities — and cowboy boots, certainly.”
