When the glamorous world of Hollywood collides with the laid‑back charm of country music, the result can be a love story that feels both surprising and utterly ordinary. That’s the narrative Elizabeth Hurley shared at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party in New York City, where she revealed that her romance with 64‑year‑old country star Billy Ray Cyrus has become a natural part of her life.
A Surprising Match: Hurley and Cyrus
Elizabeth Hurley, the 60‑year‑old actress known for her iconic roles in films like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Austin Powers, first met Billy Ray Cyrus in the spring of 2023. The pair began dating in April of that year, and the couple has since been spotted together at various public events, including the BCRF’s annual Hot Pink Party where Hurley was joined by her son Damian.
During an exclusive interview with Page Six, Hurley described the relationship as “normal.” She explained that the idea of falling in love with a country singer living on a farm in Tennessee wasn’t far removed from her own experience owning a farm in Gloucestershire, England. “The farm in Tennessee is very similar to my farm in Gloucestershire, so in a way it kind of feels normal,” she said, emphasizing the shared rural lifestyle that bridges their worlds.
Life on the Farm: A Shared Love for Rural Life
Both Hurley and Cyrus have a deep appreciation for the simplicity and authenticity that come with country living. Hurley’s Gloucestershire property is a working farm that she has tended to for years, while Cyrus’s Tennessee ranch has been a sanctuary for him and his family since the early 2000s.
In the interview, Hurley noted that the farm’s atmosphere—its quiet mornings, the scent of fresh hay, and the sense of community—mirrors the environment she grew up in. This similarity, she said, helped her feel comfortable and at ease in Cyrus’s world, making their relationship feel like a natural fit rather than a dramatic twist.
For Cyrus, the farm has been a place of healing and creativity. After a long marriage to Tish Cyrus that lasted 28 years, the country star has found solace in the pastoral setting, which also serves as a backdrop for his music and family life.
Family Ties and Past Relationships
Both celebrities have complex family histories that have shaped their personal journeys. Hurley’s past includes a long‑term relationship with producer Steve Bing, with whom she shares a son, Damian. She has also been linked to actors Hugh Grant and businessman Arun Nayar, and was engaged to Australian cricketer Shane Warne before their split in 2013.
Cyrus, on the other hand, has a large family. He was married to Tish Cyrus for 28 years before their divorce in 2022. Together they have five children—Brandi, Trace, Miley, Braison, and Noah—and he also shares a son, Christopher, with former partner Kristin Luckey. Cyrus’s brief marriage to singer Firerose ended in 2024.
Despite the complexities of their pasts, both Hurley and Cyrus have found a sense of stability in their current relationship. Hurley’s son Damian, who attended the Hot Pink Party with her, has also become part of the couple’s growing family dynamic.
