Elizabeth Hurley has given an update on her relationship with new boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus and revealed what new skill he is trying to teach her
Elizabeth Hurley has given an update on her relationship with new boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus. The model, 60, started dating country music singer Billy, 64, earlier this year after his short-lived marriage to Firerose came to an end.
Now, The Inheritance star has revealed that she is going to extreme lengths to please her new man and he is teaching her to play the guitar, even though, by her own admission, things are not going too well.
She told Hello!: “I’ve been in England all summer for the first time ever and have loved every moment. Billy is teaching me to play the guitar; right now I’m appalling but I’m hoping to improve!”

Elizabeth, who has son Damian Hurley, 23, from her previous relationship with Steve Bing, celebrated her milestone birthday in June and admitted that the whole year has ‘been such a whirlwind that it was wonderful to sit back and be spoiled for a few days,’ and while she would love to take some time off work, she has always preferred being busy.
She added: “I’ve always enjoyed work more than play and have much more fun at work than doing anything social. I’m more relaxed on a film set than anywhere else.
“However, without doubt this has meant that I’ve struggled with a work life balance since I started in the industry so I make a conscious effort now to really enjoy spending more time at home with my family and friends and not just skip from job to job.”
Prior to his split from Firerose, Achy Breaky Heart hitmaker Billy had been married to Tish Cyrus for a number of decades. Together, they have Braison, 31, and Noah, 25, together.
They are also parents to pop superstar Miley Cyrus, 32, who shot to global fame when she and her dad starred together on Hannah Montana for Disney Channel nearly 20 years ago. Billy Ray also adopted Brandi and Trace, whom she has from a previous relationship, and he is also father to Christopher, 33, with Kristin Luckey.
Despite finding their romance ‘unexpected’, Elizabeth admitted in May that she’s optimistic about what lies ahead. Speaking with E! News, she shared: “It was unexpected. But we’re very happy together. And hopefully we’ll have a great life.”
At the time, her big birthday was just on the horizon and she noted that she wanted to leave it all to ‘chance’ rather than plan something.
“I always leave things to chance, I like birthdays though. I like getting presents, I like getting flowers, I like everyone being nice to me for a day. So, whatever we do will be fun.”
Those sentiments come after Billy Ray hailed Elizabeth as a “great human being”. He spoke warmly about their connection in an excerpt from The Ty Bentli Show, reflecting how they bonded during the shooting of their 2022 film, Christmas in Paradise.
Billy Ray remarked: “We did very few scenes together but 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.
“The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different.”
