Billy Ray Cyrus, Elizabeth Hurley Indicate They’re Dating in Shock Post

Billy Ray Cyrus and model Elizabeth Hurley surprised the Internet by indicating they’re dating. 

They shared the news via a joint Instagram post on April 20, 2025. It wished people a Happy Easter and included a photo of Cyrus kissing Hurley’s cheek. He wears bunny ears in the photo. 

Although the post doesn’t explicitly say the pair are dating, that’s the clear implication due to the kiss.

Fans and even other celebrities expressed complete shock at the revelation as there was previously no inkling that Cyrus, who is divorced from Miley Cyrus’s mom, and Hurley might be a thing. 

Hurley is perhaps best known for the black dress fastened with decorative safety pins that she wore while dating actor Hugh Grant. She has a son with the late Steven Bing. 

“Wait… what?” wrote the page of actress Melissa Gilbert in response to the post. 

“Who else didn’t have this one on their 2025 Bingo card?” wrote another fan on Hurley’s comment thread, expressing bafflement. 

In the post, the pair looked like they might be on a farm. She wore a flannel-style shirt and a straw hat. 

Cyrus wore a denim jean shirt and black pants. They set the photo to Elton John singing about still being standing. 

Hurley’s adult son Damien, who she had with Bing despite that relationship ending, responded on the comment thread with a heart and congratulations emoji that indicated his approval. 

She did tag Cyrus on an April 9 solo post that she set to one of his songs. 

Many fans weren’t even aware before the post that Hurley and Cyrus knew each other, and it’s not clear how they met or how long they have been together.
