Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus made jaws drop in Rome this weekend as they hit the red carpet arm-in-arm, officially confirming their unexpected but head-over-heels romance in dazzling fashion.
The 59-year-old British actress looked every bit the icon in a vibrant hot pink gown with a plunging neckline and dramatic cape sleeves that clung to her famous figure. The Bedazzled star glowed with joy as she gazed adoringly at her new love, American country star Billy Ray Cyrus, 63.
The couple’s first official appearance took place at a glamorous Valentino bash, just weeks after they stunned fans by going public on Easter with a romantic photo that no one saw coming. Since then, their relationship has been the talk of both sides of the Atlantic.
Billy Ray brought his signature style — a black suit with flashy silver buttons, crocodile boots, and a cowboy hat — while shielding his eyes behind dark shades. Meanwhile, Elizabeth’s 23-year-old son Damian showed up in full support, turning heads in a tailored red suit and open silk shirt.
According to insiders, Billy is “besotted” with Liz, planning an extravagant surprise trip to the Caribbean for her upcoming 60th birthday — complete with a private jet and red roses.
The pair reportedly first met on the set of their 2022 holiday movie Christmas in Paradise, filmed shortly after Billy’s split from his ex-wife Tish. Though they didn’t keep in touch after filming, Elizabeth later reached out during a difficult time in Billy’s life — a gesture that sparked something neither of them expected.
Speaking candidly on Apple Music, Billy shared: “Out of nowhere, this friend who once made me laugh reached out. And it turned out to be Elizabeth Hurley.”
Since reconnecting, the two have been inseparable, sharing romantic snaps and PDA-filled moments online — and insiders say marriage might even be on the cards.
As the pair climbed into their car after the event, smiling and radiant, one thing was clear: this is no PR stunt — this is the real thing.
