Elizabeth Hurley Gives Update on Billy Ray Cyrus Romance: ‘We’re Very Happy’

Elizabeth Hurley is giving fans an update on her ongoing relationship with country music singer, Billy Ray Cyrus.

“Billy Ray. Yes, Billy Ray is fabulous. We’re very happy, very happy,” Hurley, 60, told The Times of London in an interview published on Saturday, October 25.

“He loves it. Obviously he loves England,” she continued of her beau’s thoughts on her native country. “The weather is nicer here in the summer than it is in Tennessee. He lives 40 minutes outside of Nashville. It’s so beautiful. Funnily enough, it actually looks a lot like England. Probably the equivalent of Surrey.”

The actress also revealed that when the pair is together in Tennessee, they tend to fly under the radar, something that could be difficult given their respective careers. She added that Cyrus will often be waiting in the car when she goes grocery shopping because “he would be annoying.”

“I cut his hair the other day,” she revealed. “We do have a lot of hair between us. We’re in constant danger of choking on hairballs. He has got very fuzzy hair. Before this is done it’s out here. So we’ve actually got contrast hair, which we aim to make look the same in the end.”

Hurley and Cyrus first met back in 2022, when they costarred in Netflix’s Christmas in Paradise, but things weren’t anything other than professional between the pair until Hurley texted Cyrus in 2024.

“I didn’t even know the number, and it’s like, ‘Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I’m in your corner. You got a friend in your corner,’” Cyrus recalled on Bentli’s Apple Music show in April 2025, calling Hurley a “great human being” and “impressively brilliant.”

The duo made their Instagram debut as a couple on Easter in April 2025, after keeping the growing relationship offline for months.

“Her friends have known about it for a while as it’s not a new thing,” a source told Us Weekly at the time, before the insider noted the British actress “had sworn them all to secrecy and they didn’t tell anyone outside of her tight circle of mostly gay men.”

Hurley later opened up about her budding romance at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party in New York City in May.

“I think people found Billy and I being together a little surprising. It’s not surprising to me because we’re actually quite similar and get on extremely well,” she said at the time.“There has been quite a reaction. … We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country. And we both love country music, both love movies. We’ve got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely.”

The actress also said the two spent their early relationship bonding over the fact that they are both single parents. Hurley is a mom to son Damien, while Cyrus is a dad to Brandi, Trace, Miley, Noah and Braison with ex-wife Tish Cyrus, and son Christopher with ex Kristin Luckey.
