Liz Hurley, Billy Ray Cyrus relationship: Source reveals details of romance, when it started and why
Details of a relationship between actress and model Elizabeth Hurley and singer Billy Ray Cyrus have emerged after they shared an image of a romantic embrace on set social media, with sources coming forward to spill on what they know.
As the world came to terms with the shock new relationship, a source close to the couple has revealed the pair have been close for some time, when Hurley, 58, stepped in to support Cyrus, 63, during a turbulent chapter in his life after splitting from Australian singer Firerose in 2024.
“Liz has been keeping the whole thing under wraps and has barely told anyone,” a source told The Sun.

During Cyrus’ challenges, he and his singing daughter Miley Cyrus were reportedly not on good terms following his divorce from Tish Cyrus.
Hurley and Cyrus were not strangers when he split for Firerose. The two, who have known each other since filming the holiday feel-good film Christmas in Paradise, are understood to have spent more time together privately before going public with their relationship over Easter.
“He has had a really hard time, but she has been there helping him turn things around,” another source told The Sun.
Hurley has weathered her own fair share of public heartbreak — from her long-term relationship with Hugh Grant to her high-profile engagement to cricketer Shane Warne.
Friends reported her bond with Cyrus grew out of a “deep mutual understanding,” with both stars carrying emotional baggage and finding comfort in each other’s company.
Now, with a cheeky Instagram kiss and a flood of flirty comments, the couple appears ready to face the spotlight together.
While they’ve yet to officially confirm the status of their relationship, their public affection suggest it’s more than just a rebound.
Members of the Cyrus family are yet to comment on the now-viral “soft launch” of the relationship.
