Elizabeth Hurley marks 60th with nude photo, while Billy Ray Cyrus declares her ‘the love of my life’

Elizabeth Hurley has stunned fans, celebrating turning 60 by stripping down to her birthday suit, posting a nude but wholesome photo to mark the occasion.

In the photo posted to her Instagram account, the British beauty sits with her legs crossed in a sunny meadow with wildflowers, showing off her beaming smile, lush hair and physique.

“Happy birthday to me!” Hurley posted. “This year has already been a wild ride; my 30th year of working with the Estée Lauder Companies, my 30th year as the Global Ambassador of the @esteelaudercompanies Breast Cancer Campaign, the 20th anniversary of @elizabethhurleybeach.”

Hurley went on to declare she was “in love” with new flame, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.

“I’m in love ♥️♥️♥️” she wrote. “Feeling very blessed and grateful for having the best friends & family in the world ♥️ pic taken this afternoon… in my birthday suit.”

Her post was liked more than 65,000 times, and she received a flood of birthday messages, with fellow celebrities, friends and fans in awe of her beauty.

“Congratulations beautiful smart funny Elizabeth. Wishing you the best birthday. Love you,” wrote model Heidi Klum.

“Hehe now you’re just mocking us mere mortals!” actress Victoria Ekanoye posted.

Not long after, Cyrus also declared his love in a sweet Instagram post, “Happy birthday to the love of my life ❤️,” he wrote alongside a photo of Hurley sitting on his lap.

Hurley and Cyrus confirmed their romance on April 20th with a joint Instagram post on Easter, sharing a cute photo of Cyrus kissing Hurley on the cheek. They had previously met in 2022 while filming the movie Christmas in Paradise.

Friends close to the pair have told The Sun that despite their different backgrounds, Hurley and Cyrus have “a lot in common” and “share the same interests,” with insiders suggesting that “marriage could be on the cards”.

“Billy is very much Elizabeth’s type — he’s got a twinkle in his eye and a mischievous streak she can’t resist,” one source said.

Hurley was previously married to businessman Arun Nayar, tying the knot in 2007 in lavish ceremonies spanning England and India. The couple divorced amicably in 2011. Following her marriage to Mr Nayar, Hurley entered a high-profile relationship with Australian cricket legend Shane Warne.

Cyrus has married three times, first to Cindy Smith from 1986 to 1991 and then to the mother of his daughters, Miley and Noah, Tish Cyrus, from 1993 to 2023. He also briefly married Firerose in 2023. Their tumultuous relationship ended in 2024 after seven months when Cyrus filed for divorce.

Hurley’s relationship with Cyrus seems to be going well, with both families embracing their love. Hurley’s son Damian commented below Cyrus’ birthday post with a slew of love hearts, and popstar Miley has spoken openly about her dad’s new-found happiness.

Miley says she has now warmed to her dad’s latest romance, after their messy fallout at the end of his marriage to her mother.

In an interview with The New York Times, the Grammy winner spoke candidly about her turbulent relationship with her dad, as well as her mum Tish’s new marriage to actor Dominic Purcell.

“Now that my mum is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing,” the former Disney star said.

While she’s now happy for both her parents, Miley said it was a difficult adjustment.

“At first it’s hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, ‘Yes, that’s your dad, but that’s just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.’ My child self has caught up,” she said.

“I’m being an adult about it.”

Miley confirmed she has fully reconciled with her dad, but admitted her closeness with her mum played a major role in their falling out.
