Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus confirm their relationship: What few people know is that her boyfriend divorced just seven months after getting married

Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus have officially gone public with their romance, surprising fans with a tender Easter post on social media. The couple shared an affectionate photo in which Billy Ray kisses Elizabeth on the cheek while they lean against a wooden fence, captioned simply: “Happy Easter ❤️.”

In the festive image, Elizabeth wears a blue and white checkered shirt and a cowboy hat, while Billy Ray sports a denim outfit and a pair of green bunny ears, adding a playful holiday touch. The post quickly drew attention from fans and celebrities alike, including Elizabeth’s son Damian, who responded with heart and smiley emojis.

Hints of the relationship had already been floating around, especially after Elizabeth posted a bikini video on Instagram soundtracked by Billy Ray’s song “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore.” The pair first met while working together on the film Christmas in Paradise in 2022, where they had the chance to grow close on set.

Billy Ray’s personal life has also been in the spotlight. He divorced his wife of 28 years, Tish Cyrus, in 2022. They share five children, including singers Miley and Noah Cyrus. He later married Australian singer Firerose in October 2023, but the marriage ended just seven months later in May 2024.

Elizabeth was previously married to businessman Arun Nayar from 2007 to 2011 and had a long-term relationship with actor Hugh Grant from 1987 to 2000. Though no longer together, Hurley and Grant remain close friends, and Grant is the godfather to her son Damian.

The romance between Hurley and Cyrus has drawn widespread interest, with fans calling them “the unexpected couple we never knew we needed.” Many are cheering on the new relationship and embracing the sweet surprise.
