Country music star Billy Ray Cyrus made his new relationship — he’s dating actress and swimsuit model Elizabeth Hurley official on Easter Sunday April 20, 2025. The new parents posted a very emotional first Instagram photo to declare their love was growing and blossoming. By all accounts, fans and followers were ecstatic about the announcement! At 63 years old, Cyrus is embracing this new chapter, while Hurley, at 59, brings her charm and warmth to the relationship.
Cyrus’s leap into this fresh companionship comes on the heels of an earthquake-shaking succession after the former “Dancing with the Stars” competitor’s divorce from artist Firerose. The happy couple were married in our nation’s capital this past October. Seven months later—in May 2024—they filed for divorce and by August 2024, their divorce was finalized. Sources close to Cyrus have indicated that he is moving forward positively, with one source stating, “Liz is great and visited him for Easter. They’ve been seeing each other romantically for a little bit.”
Cyrus and Hurley first met after being recently cast members on the set of Christmas in Paradise in 2022. Their joint work would unveil a friendship that ran deep. Their camaraderie turned on screen and behind the camera formed an attachment that has since turned a platonic bond into a romantic relationship. As a source noted, “They had a great time shooting that movie together — it was beautiful and relaxed, and it really stuck with him.”
37-year-old Firerose remains focused on her blossoming career. In early April 2025, she released a new single titled “RISE UP,” reflecting her artistic evolution following the end of her marriage. As one source told me, she is in “a very strong place. They continued, “Firerose is an artist laser-focused on her music, healing exciting young minds across the globe daily.” As she blossoms into this next stage of her artistry, there’s no doubt that Smiley is taking flight. This odyssey shows her deep spiritual power, rejuvenation, and evolution.
As Cyrus embarks on this new chapter with Hurley, he brings with him the legacy of his past affiliations. He’s the dad of five kids with ex-wife Tish Cyrus, including famous daughter Miley Cyrus. He has a son, Christopher Cody, from a prior relationship.
The support from friends and family certainly seems to be strong for Cyrus as he enters this exciting new chapter. A source praised Hurley, stating, “[And how lucky is he? Liz is lovely. She’s very warm, positive and the best to be around.]”
