Elizabeth Hurley Shares Why Her Relationship With Billy Ray Cyrus Feels ‘Normal’ to Her

Elizabeth Hurley is opening up about life with Billy Ray Cyrus, saying their relationship feels more familiar than many might expect as she reflected on spending time between Tennessee and her countryside farm in England during a recent New York City appearance.

Elizabeth Hurley is sharing new insight into her relationship with Billy Ray Cyrus more than a year after the couple confirmed they were together publicly.

While attending the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party at the Glasshouse in New York City, the actress spoke about her romance with the country singer and why life with him feels surprisingly natural despite their different backgrounds.

Hurley and Cyrus first announced their relationship in April 2025 and have since given fans occasional glimpses into their life together through social media posts and public appearances.

Elizabeth Hurley Says Tennessee Feels Familiar to Her

During the event, Hurley was asked whether she ever imagined herself falling for a country music star and spending time on a farm in Tennessee.

The actress admitted it was not something she had specifically envisioned, but she explained that Cyrus’ lifestyle is not as different from hers as some people may think.

“I hadn’t really had that foresight to have that, but funnily enough, the farm in Tennessee is very similar to my farm in Gloucestershire, so in a way it kind of feels normal,” Hurley, 60, said about Cyrus, 64.

Hurley owns a farm in Gloucestershire, England, and noted that the similarities between the properties have made the transition feel comfortable.

The Couple Has Shared Their Relationship Publicly Since 2025

Since confirming their relationship, Hurley and Cyrus have occasionally posted photos and videos together online, giving followers a look at their travels and time spent with family.

Their relationship attracted attention partly because both stars have spent decades in the public eye through different industries. Hurley became internationally known through her acting career and high-profile relationships, while Cyrus built his fame through country music and television.

Over the past year, they have appeared together at public events while also maintaining close relationships with their children and families.

The actress attended the BCRF event alongside her son, Damian Hurley, who has increasingly accompanied her to major fashion and entertainment functions.

Photos from the event highlighted the strong resemblance between Hurley and her 24-year-old son, prompting questions about their similar appearance.

“Well, he does look a lot like me, but he grew into that,” Hurley said. “Funnily enough, around puberty, he started to look like me — the Irish side of our family.”

Damian is Hurley’s only child. She shares him with late producer Steve Bing, whom she dated in 2000.

Over the years, Damian has followed his mother into the entertainment and fashion world, often appearing with her at red carpet events and industry gatherings. Their appearance at the Hot Pink Party continued a long tradition of attending high-profile events together.

Before dating Cyrus, Hurley had several high-profile relationships that frequently made headlines. She famously dated actor Hugh Grant from 1987 to 2000, with the pair remaining close even after their split.

Hurley later married businessman Arun Nayar in 2007, and the couple divorced in 2011. She was also engaged to late Australian cricket star Shane Warne before they ended their relationship in 2013.

Together, they share five children: Brandi, Trace, Miley, Braison and Noah Cyrus. He also shares son Christopher with ex Kristin Luckey.

After his split from Tish, Cyrus briefly married singer Firerose. The pair wed in October 2023 before separating in May 2024.
