Elizabeth Hurley seemingly confirmed her new relationship as she shared a snap of her kissing a huge country singer – and he appears to have got her son’s seal of approval
Elizabeth Hurley got tongues wagging with her latest snap as she hinted at a budding new romance. The actress, 59, might be hoping she doesn’t end up with an achy breaky heart at the end of everything after sharing a kiss with a music legend.
Taking to Instagram, Liz is seen beaming as Billy Ray Cyrus, 63, picked her on the cheek. The duo were leaning up against a wooden fence for for the snap. Liz looked in her element as she posed in a chequered blue flannel shirt that was lowly buttoned. She paired the top with faded blue jeans and a straw cowboy hat.
Billy Ray was seen holding a large stick as he rested with one foot on the fence. He wore a denim shirt and striped pants, while accessorising with a headband showing off green bunny ears.
Liz simply captioned her post: “Happy Easter,” alongside a red love heart emoji. The post was met with huge surprise from her followers.
Among those taking to the comments section was fellow actress Melissa Gilbert, who wrote: “Wait…what? Hallie Rose added: “The couple we didn’t know we needed,” while Ann Curoso said: “Awe! Billy Ray Bunny! Happy Easter!”
Her best pal Trinny Woodall also wrote: “Happy Easter, my darling. I hope you’re having the best time,” alongside an emoji blowing a love heart kiss.
The apparent relationship also seemed to get Liz’s son’s seal of approval. Damian Hurley simply sent two emojis to his mum; one party face emoji and one love heart. Damian is Liz’s only child from her brief relationship with Steve Bing, who she met shortly after her split with Hugh Grant in 2000.
The American businessman and film producer initially denied paternity of his son and they didn’t have much of a relationship, with reports even suggesting they never met. However, Damian and mum Liz continue to have a strong bond.
The link up comes almost a year after Billy Ray’s split from ex-wife Firerose. Billy Ray and Aussie musician Firerose, 25 – real name Joanna Rosie Hodges – got engaged in August 2022, before tying the knot in October 2023.
However, there was quickly trouble in paradise and just months later, in May 2024, he filed for a divorce. The process was finalised in August last year.
As well as his relationship woes, Billy Ray has been having family troubles. In February, he is thought to have extended an olive branch to daughter Miley Cyrus amid the drama. It’s thought that Miley has been estranged from Billy Ray for some time, while his son Trace Cyrus recently said he “barely recognises” his father following his support of Donald Trump.
After President Trump’s inauguration, which saw the country singer perform, Trace wrote on social media: “Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you. […] Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away.”
