Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley’s relationship
Billy and Elizabeth first crossed paths during the filming of Christmas in Paradise, a British comedy. On The Ty Bentli Show, Cyrus said whenever he and Elizabeth appeared in the same scene, they felt a special connection. They met when the American singer-songwriter was going through his divorce from his ex-wife, Tish Cyrus. Cyrus shared that the model made him laugh at a time when he was not feeling happy and did not laugh much.
Cyrus also explained that although they seemed very different from each other, they surprisingly had many things in common. Despite their initial spark, Billy and Elizabeth did not speak to each other for almost two years. Later, when the singer-songwriter was going through a difficult period in his life, he received a text message from an unknown number. The text message can be read as:
“Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I’m in your corner; you’ve got a friend in your corner.”
That friend was none other than Hurley. Recalling the moment, Cyrus said, “I text back, I go, ‘Who is this?’ And it’s like, ‘Elizabeth Hurley.’ Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most … this friend who made me laugh.” The couple hard-launched their relationship on April 20, 2025, by posting a joint Instagram photo. In the picture, Billy was seen kissing Hurley on the cheek. They captioned the photo as ‘Happy Easter’ with a red heart emoji.
At the time, a source told PEOPLE that the two have known each other for years but had only been seeing each other romantically for a little bit. The insider said Elizabeth visited Billy for Easter. The source added that Hurley is very warm, positive, and the best to be around.
Billy has been very vocal about his love for Hurley. During his appearance on The Ty Bentli Show, Billy called Elizabeth a ‘great human being’. The singer-songwriter said that even if their relationship never became romantic and they remained just friends, he would still be happy to have her in his life. He also praised Elizabeth for being intelligent and talented.
Before finding love with Billy, Hurley was married to businessman Arun Nayar from 2007 to 2010. She was also engaged to Australian cricketer Shane Warne, but they called it quits in 2013. On the other hand, Billy has been married thrice. Previously, he was married to Cindy Smith, Tish Cyrus and Firerose.
