Elizabeth Hurley is opening up about how her boyfriend, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, is doing, and it sounds like the two are happier than ever.
“Billy Ray. Yeah, Billy Ray is fantastic. We’re very happy, very happy,” Hurley, 60, said in a new interview with The Times of London published on Saturday, October 25.
The actress went on to talk about how much Cyrus enjoys spending time in her home country.
“He loves it. He obviously loves England,” she said, adding with a laugh that “the weather here in the summer is nicer than in Tennessee.”
Hurley explained that Cyrus, who lives about 40 minutes outside of Nashville, sees similarities between his environment and the English countryside.
“It’s so beautiful. Funnily enough, it actually looks a lot like England. Probably the equivalent of Surrey,” she commented.
When together in Tennessee, the couple tends to keep things low-key. Hurley joked that Cyrus usually waits in the car when she goes grocery shopping because “he would be annoying.”
She also revealed a playful detail about their home life, saying, “I recently cut his hair. We have a lot of hair between us. We are in constant danger of choking on hairballs.”
Laughing, she added that his hair is “very faded” and that they are trying to “make it look the same in the end.”
Hurley and Cyrus first crossed paths in 2022 while filming Christmas in Paradise for Netflix.
Their friendship later turned into something more when Hurley sent Cyrus a supportive text in 2024.
“I didn’t even know the song, and it was like, ‘Hey, it looks like life might be a little tough and I just wanted to let you know that I’m on your side. You’ve got a friend in your corner,'” Cyrus recalled during Bentli’s Apple Music show earlier this year, describing Hurley as an “amazing human being” and “impressively brilliant.”
The couple made their relationship public over Easter in April 2025, sharing their first photo together on Instagram after keeping things private for months.
A source said this at the time We weekly that Hurley’s friends had known for some time, but “she had sworn them all to secrecy.”
In May, Hurley spoke about the romance at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party in New York City, saying, “I think people found the fact that Billy and I were together a little bit surprising. It’s not surprising to me because we actually look quite similar and get along extremely well.”
She added, “We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country. And we both love country music, both love movies. We have a lot in common — and cowboy boots, for sure.”
The actress also shared that she and Cyrus bonded early on because they were single parents.
Hurley is mother to her son Damien, while Cyrus has six children: Brandi, Trace, Miley, Noah and Braison with ex-wife Tish Cyrus, and son Christopher with ex Kristin Luckey.
From English summers to drives in rural Tennessee, it seems Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus have found a rhythm that suits them – and a relationship built on laughter, shared interests and a touch of country charm.
