Billy Ray Cyrus previously shared insight into his relationship with Elizabeth Hurley
Billy Ray Cyrus has been vocal about his romance with Elizabeth Hurley. In addition to sharing glimpses of their relationship on social media, he has also revealed details of his love life in interviews. In an interview on The Ty Bentli Show in April 2025, he mentioned that they met back in 2022 while on the set of the movie Christmas in Paradise.
"The couple times we were in the same scene, there was a chemistry there. We just laughed—and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot," he said.
He further mentioned that they couldn't be any more different from each other, but "in some very strange way," he said that they have way more in common than differences. However, the initial spark didn't pan out since he was still married to Tish Cyrus then.
Two years later, Billy Ray Cyrus said, per People, that he received an anonymous text from a "friend" during a tough time. It turned out to be Elizabeth Hurley. In his interview on The Ty Bentli Show, Cyrus said this about Hurley and his son, Damian, who accompanied them at the Rome event in May:
"It's great that God brought them into my life when he did. It's just a good thing. It's been a long time since I've been this happy."
He also has many good things to say about his girlfriend. He described her as a "great human being" on the show, adding that she reminds him of Dolly Parton. The country singer also said that besides Hurley being "impressively brilliant," she's also a "very smart businesswoman."
Billy Ray Cyrus was previously married to Tish Cyrus and was engaged to Australian singer Firerose in 2023. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Hurley was previously married to businessman Arun Nayar and later to Australian cricketer Shane Warne.
