Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley were the picture of romance as they stepped out for a date night in London. The couple attended The Royal Academy of Dance Fundraising Evening on June 16, 2025, where they posed for photos, radiating joy and affection for each other. Hurley, who had recently celebrated her 60th birthday, was all smiles while gazing at her boyfriend on the red carpet, capturing the attention of onlookers.
Following the end of his marriage to Firerose, Cyrus has been open about finding love again with Hurley. Their relationship blossomed after they initially met as friends and co-stars in the 2022 film *Christmas in Paradise.* During a recent interview, Hurley expressed her admiration for Cyrus, noting, “I’ve long been a fan of Billy Ray. My son used to watch *Hannah Montana* all the time, so I watched it with him. I knew Billy Ray really well from that, and of course, some of his music. That was a big plus.”
The chemistry between the two was undeniable, even during their limited scenes together in the film. “We did a film two years ago down in the Caribbean, and we did very few scenes together, but the couple of times we were in the same scene, there was a chemistry there that I felt,” Cyrus shared during an appearance on Apple Music’s *Ty Bentli Show* in April. He reflected on how their connection grew over time, saying, “We just laughed, and it was at a time when I wasn’t laughing a lot, and I found that the oddest thing.”
An insider revealed that the two connected on a deeper level, bonding over their life experiences. “Billy Ray and Liz have both been through a lot in life and have bonded over life experiences,” the source told *Us Weekly*. “Liz is a very compassionate person, which Billy Ray adores.”
Hurley has also addressed the public’s fascination with their relationship. “I think people found Billy and I being together a little surprising,” she noted at a recent event. “It’s not surprising to me because we’re actually quite similar and get on extremely well. We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country, country music, and movies. We’ve got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely.”
As their romance continues to flourish, the couple has shared sweet moments on social media. In a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating Hurley’s birthday, Cyrus referred to her as “the love of my life.” In her own birthday tribute, Hurley described her year as “a wild ride,” partly due to her new romance. Cyrus responded in the comments, “I love you ♥️,” further solidifying the depth of their feelings for one another.
