Grammy-winning singer Billy Ray Cyrus, father of Miley Cyrus, is happily in a new relationship with actress Elizabeth Hurley.
In a series of photos Elizabeth posted, Billy hugged her tightly from behind as the couple leaned against a tree. Both wore matching blue jeans and country-style shirts. In another photo, the 63-year-old singer drove Elizabeth and her dog around the farm, leaning close to each other affectionately.
Elizabeth revealed in the caption that she visited Billy's house over the weekend. Miley's father has a large farm in Tennessee.
A week before that, the actress went public with her new love for Billy Ray Cyrus on the occasion of Easter. The relationship between the 59-year-old British actress and the Old Town Road singer surprised friends and fans. Billy recently divorced young singer Firerose last summer after 7 months of marriage.
On The Ty Bentli Show, Billy Ray Cyrus revealed that after his divorce from Firerose, he received a message of sympathy from Elizabeth Hurley. The British actress worked with Billy on the 2022 film Christmas in Paradise. The male artist described Elizabeth as a wonderful woman who is smart and good at business. He also praised Elizabeth's 23-year-old son, Damian.
An insider also revealed to People that the couple's new relationship progressed quickly because they have a lot in common. Both love a lifestyle close to nature. "Liz is very charming, but also fits in perfectly in Tennessee. She spent a few days visiting Billy Ray. She loves his music, and he loves being with her. They are very different, but they have a great connection," the source said.
Elizabeth also brought positive things to Billy by urging him to mend his relationship with his children, including Miley Cyrus.
Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley's mother, Tish Cyrus, divorced in 2022 after nearly 20 years of marriage and three children together. A few months after the divorce, Billy publicly dated singer Firerose, who is just a few years older than Miley. At that time, rumors of tension between Miley and her father arose. Meanwhile, the singer has always been by her mother's side and was a bridesmaid at her mother's wedding to Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell. The father-son relationship is said to have improved after Billy divorced his young wife and accused her of cheating.
