Lahore, April 20, 2025 — In a surprising twist from the world of celebrity, Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus have officially confirmed their relationship, setting social media abuzz and fans stunned across both sides of the Atlantic.
Elizabeth, the 58-year-old British actress and model, best known for her roles in Austin Powers and Bedazzled, as well as her high-profile relationship with Hugh Grant in the 1990s, has reportedly found new love with 63-year-old American country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, famous for his smash hit Achy Breaky Heart and for being the father of pop icon Miley Cyrus.
Who Approved the Relationship?
According to sources close to the couple, both Elizabeth Hurley’s and Billy Ray’s families have given their blessing. “They’re happy and in love,” said one insider. “Their children are supportive, and that has meant everything to them.” Liz’s son Damian Hurley, 22, who is close to his mother and works in fashion and film, is said to have met Cyrus and approves of the relationship.

A Look at Their Pasts
Elizabeth Hurley was previously in a long-term relationship with actor Hugh Grant, and later with Steve Bing, the father of her only child, Damian. She was also briefly married to Indian businessman Arun Nayar. Known for her ageless beauty and charm, Hurley has balanced a career in film, fashion, and as an ambassador for major global brands.
Billy Ray Cyrus, meanwhile, was married for nearly 30 years to Tish Cyrus, with whom he shares several children, including Miley Cyrus. The couple divorced in 2022. Billy Ray had a short-lived engagement to singer Firerose before that relationship reportedly ended in early 2025.
Fame and Fortune
Both Hurley and Cyrus have enjoyed decades of fame. Liz Hurley became a global icon in the 1990s, thanks in part to her acting, fashion sense, and Versace safety-pin dress that became a fashion legend. Cyrus became a country music sensation in the early ‘90s and reinvented himself through collaborations with artists like Lil Nas X (Old Town Road), earning a Grammy win.
What’s Next?
The couple has reportedly been spending time between the U.K. and the U.S., enjoying quiet getaways and family introductions. Neither has commented on marriage, but insiders say “they’re taking things seriously.”
