Billy Ray Cyrus & Elizabeth Hurley: Hollywood's Latest Surprise Romance!
Well, here’s something we didn’t see coming—country music legend Billy Ray Cyrus and the ever-glamorous British icon Elizabeth Hurley are officially a thing! Yep, the pair decided to go full-on public over the weekend, and let’s just say, social media is still buzzing.
Now before you go asking, “Wait…what?!”, you’re not alone. Even “Little House on the Prairie” star Melissa Gilbert chimed in on Instagram with the same exact words. But if you dig a little deeper, the signs have been there for a while.
📸 The Instagram Reveal: A Bunny-Eared Love Story
This lovebird reveal wasn’t your typical red carpet debut—it was way more fun. The couple shared a cozy Easter Sunday photo on Instagram, marking their hard launch as a couple. Elizabeth, 59, posted the pic with a sweet "Happy Easter" caption.
In the photo? Billy Ray, 63, wearing a goofy pair of green bunny ears, giving Hurley a cheek kiss while they leaned against a rustic wooden fence with rolling green pastures behind them. Picture-perfect, right?
To add an even more heartwarming touch, Hurley’s 23-year-old son, Damian, dropped celebratory emojis and hearts in the comments. Seems like he’s totally on board with Mom’s new man.
🎬 Backstory: From Co-Stars to Real-Life Lovers
So how did this unexpected duo even cross paths? Turns out, their love story dates back to 2022. According to insiders, Hurley and Cyrus met while working together on the holiday film “Christmas in Paradise.” Apparently, sparks flew, but nothing romantic happened at the time.
“They’ve been friends for a long time and both just happened to be single at the same time,” a source spilled to Page Six. “The romantic side only started a few weeks ago.” So yep, sometimes timing really is everything.
🥀 Billy Ray’s Recent Romantic History: A Rollercoaster
Before Elizabeth came into the picture, Billy Ray was navigating a whirlwind love life of his own. Just last year, he tied the knot with Australian singer Firerose, who he originally met back in the early 2000s on the set of Hannah Montana. Yep, that Hannah Montana.
They collaborated on music—including their track “Plans”—and eventually said "I do" in October 2023. But their happily-ever-after was short-lived. Cyrus filed for divorce less than a year later in June 2024.
And it wasn’t a clean break, either. The two exchanged intense allegations—fraud, abuse, and all kinds of tabloid-fodder drama. After a couple of fiery months, they finally settled things. A rep for Cyrus summed it up by saying, “He’s relieved to put this nightmare behind him.” Ouch.
💔 Family Tensions: A Public Concern
If you’ve been following the Cyrus family drama, you’ll know things haven’t been all sunshine and roses lately. Billy Ray’s adopted son, Trace (from his previous marriage to Tish Cyrus), made headlines earlier this year after he publicly expressed concern over his dad’s health.
“You’re not healthy, Dad. And everyone is noticing it,” Trace wrote in a brutally honest Instagram post back in January. The comment came just days after Billy Ray gave a shaky performance at an Inauguration Day event, raising eyebrows across the board.
Trace didn’t hold back either. He said his father had “pushed all of us away,” adding fuel to rumors of ongoing family strain.
🔥 Still Holding On to Family Roots
Despite the tension, Billy Ray hasn’t turned his back on everyone. In a heartfelt YouTube video shortly after Trace’s post, he talked about “praying for my family,” especially those affected by January’s wildfires. He’s also shown public support for daughters Miley and Noah, who are both killing it in their own music careers.
In fact, he’s often praised Miley for her smash hit “Flowers” and hasn’t shied away from showing admiration for Noah’s edgy music and creative projects. Even with everything going on, he still seems to be rooting for his kids.
💃 Elizabeth Hurley: A Love Life Full of Famous Faces
Of course, Elizabeth Hurley’s romantic history is no small thing either. Over the years, she’s been linked to some pretty big names—actor Hugh Grant, NBA star Steve Nash, the late Steve Bing (Damian’s father), and her ex-husband Arun Nayar, whom she divorced in 2011.
Clearly, Elizabeth has a thing for high-profile partners, and Billy Ray fits right into that mold. But there’s something about this pairing that feels different—more playful, more fun, and maybe even more real?
