In one of the most surprising celebrity pairings of the year, British actress Elizabeth Hurley and American country music star Billy Ray Cyrus appear to have struck up a romantic connection.
The duo made jaws drop when they shared a mushy Easter Instagram post on Sunday, that saw Cyrus planting a kiss on Hurley’s cheek as they posed for a photo outside the singer’s house. The cute click, sees the two in their cowboy and cowgirl attire, posing on a farm. Liz dressed down in a pair of denims and a fitted blue flannel shirt which she paired with a straw hat. Cyrus twinned in a denim shirt, which he paired with trousers and a rocked bunny ear headband.
Hurley’s son, Damien, also gave his nod of approval, commenting on the photo with a series of emojis.
Neither Hurley nor Cyrus has officially confirmed the nature of their relationship.
The two first sparked romance buzz earlier this month when the actress posted a sultry bikini photo from the Maldives and tagged Cyrus in the post.
If confirmed, this would mark the singer’s first public relationship since his brief marriage and divorce to singer Firerose. The pair wed in October 2023, only to finalise their divorce less than a year later in August 2024. The singer was previously married to Cindy Smith (1986–1991) and Tish Cyrus (1993–2022), with whom he shares five children, including pop sensation Miley Cyrus. He also has a son, Christopher, with former partner Kristin Luckey.
Hurley, meanwhile, was previously married to Indian businessman Arun Nayar from 2007 to 2010 and has had high-profile relationships with actor Hugh Grant, cricketer Shane Warne, and the late producer Stephen Bing, father of her son Damien.
