Looks like love is in the air for country music icon Billy Ray Cyrus.
On April 20, 2025, the Achy Breaky Heart singer took to Instagram to debut his romance with British actress Elizabeth Hurley in a surprising Easter post. The new lovebirds were dressed in relaxed, coordinating outfits.
Billy rocked a pale blue denim shirt with black striped pants, topping off his look with green bunny ears and signature black sunglasses. Elizabeth, meanwhile, kept it effortlessly chic in a plaid blue shirt over a white tee, light-wash jeans, a straw sunhat, and sunglasses.
In the adorable image, Cyrus was seen planting a soft kiss on Hurley’s cheek as she leaned into him with a big toothy smile. Lush greenery and a wooden fence completed the picture, suggesting they were in a field.
Since the image itself spoke volumes, Cyrus kept his caption simple, only wishing everyone well on the occasion. He wrote,
“Happy Easter ♥️”
Elizabeth Dropped Subtle Hints About Her Romance Days Before The Reveal
Just days before going public with Billy, The Royals star dropped a subtle hint about their budding relationship.
On April 9, 2025, Elizabeth shared a dreamy clip of herself frolicking in the stunning blue ocean waters of the Maldives. While she appeared solo in the video, she tagged Billy and set the video to his 1992 hit She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore.
A few months before his latest romance, Cyrus quietly filed for divorce from his third wife, Firerose, who was 36 years his junior, in May 2024. The pair had been married for just seven months before calling it quits, with their divorce finalized by August of that same year.
In a rare tell-all interview with Entertainment Tonight, Cyrus didn’t hold back, making some explosive claims about his ex. Calling the relationship a ‘scam’, the country singer shared,
“I am very relieved. This has been absolutely the most crazy insane scam I have ever heard of… I am basically the target of the scheme. It’s unfortunate… It was a matter of the heart. Love is blind… that’s for sure”.
For her part, Elizabeth has only been married once, to businessman Arun Nayar, from 2007 to 2011. Since their divorce, she has mostly kept her love life under wraps.
Fans Disapprove Of Elizabeth And Billy’s Relationship
The online community is less than thrilled about the couple’s relationship announcement. Many netizens took to social media to voice their disapproval, with several commenting that Hurley deserves better. Some of the comments read,
“Girl, raise your standards… 🤦🏻♀️”
“She’s too classy for him!”
“Wait what? She can do so much better”.
“Liz…you in danger, girl!”
Looks like love is a complicated ride for Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley. Only time will tell if this love story is the real deal or just another chapter in celebrity drama.
