Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus recently sent shockwaves through the entertainment world when they seemingly confirmed their romantic relationship in a heartfelt Easter post. On April 20, 2023, Hurley shared an adorable photo on Instagram that showcased the couple in a playful mood, both donning bunny ears in celebration of the holiday. The snapshot, which features them leaning against a wooden fence on a picturesque farm, captures a tender kiss between the two. Hurley simply captioned the post with “Happy Easter” alongside a red heart emoji, all while the backdrop of Elton John’s iconic song “I’m Still Standing” played.
Interestingly, Hurley may have hinted at their budding romance earlier in the month, although fans were largely unaware at the time. On April 9, she shared a stunning video of herself enjoying the ocean in the Maldives, set to Cyrus’ 1992 hit “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore.” Although Cyrus did not appear in the video, he did express his support by liking the post. In her caption, Hurley described the scene as “the most glorious sunset in the glorious Maldives.” Her son, Damian Hurley, reacted to the post with five red heart emojis and later commented on his mother’s Easter revelation with “🥳♥️,” showcasing his approval of the relationship.
In the Easter photo, Hurley embraces a casual yet stylish look, wearing a cowboy hat, braided hair, jeans, sunglasses, and a blue plaid flannel button-down shirt. The couple appears to be enjoying their time on a farm, which is fitting as Cyrus owns a farm in Tennessee, according to reports from E! News. The two have been friends for several years, having co-starred in the 2022 comedy film Christmas in Paradise.
Both Hurley and Cyrus have experienced significant relationships in their past. Hurley has previously been linked to high-profile personalities including Steve Bing, Hugh Grant, and cricketer Shane Warne. She was also married to businessman Arun Nayar from 2007 to 2010. On the other hand, Cyrus was married to Tish Cyrus for nearly 30 years, with whom he shares five children: Brandi, Trace, Miley, Braison, and Noah. Their divorce was finalized in 2022, and Cyrus’ subsequent marriage to singer Firerose ended just eight months ago.
Reflecting on her pursuit of happiness, Hurley spoke to Us Weekly last month about her desire to find tranquility in nature. She expressed, “I’d like to be in my own country house at home, but even if I go to somebody else’s, like in America, I like nature. I really like getting out of cities when I’m feeling a bit, you know, that revs me up again.” Hurley is also dedicated to being a present mother, describing the challenges of balancing work and family life. She stated, “We try. We all succeed in places, and we often feel like we fail in places. I made a decision…that my son was going to be my No. 1, which has been and remains so. When you’ve got a clear vision ahead, you’ll do whatever you can to try to make that happen.”
