Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley have confirmed their relationship, sharing a PDA-filled photo on Instagram on Easter Sunday. The unlikely romance began after they worked together on the film "Christmas in Paradise" in 2022. Cyrus revealed that he felt a connection with Hurley during filming, noting their shared laughter during a difficult time in his life.
Despite the initial spark, Cyrus and Hurley didn't stay in touch immediately after filming wrapped. Two years later, Hurley reached out to Cyrus with a supportive text message. Cyrus described Hurley as a "great human being" and praised her intelligence, comparing her to Dolly Parton.
A source told Us Weekly that Cyrus and Hurley "bonded over life experiences" after reconnecting. They enjoy spending time together on Cyrus's farm in Nashville. Hurley told Page Six that she and Cyrus are "actually quite similar and get on extremely well," citing their shared love for laughter, the country, and country music.
This is Cyrus's first relationship since his brief marriage to Firerose in 2023. He was previously married to Cindy Smith and Tish Cyrus. Hurley also seems happy, emphasizing their compatibility and shared interests.
