It is being reported that Elizabeth “Liz” Hurley is in the middle of a difficult phase of life as she is forced to choose between her son Damian Hurley and boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus.
An insider said Radaronline that Liz’s 23-year-old son Damian, who she shares with ex-partner Steve Bing, is growing apart due to her high-profile romance with Billy.
The source said: “Liz keeps saying this is just a rough patch, that these are growing pains and they will get through it, but everyone can see how stressful this is for her.”
In particular, Damian, an actor and model by profession, was the center of his mother’s attention after the death of his father, Bing.
For those who don’t know, Bing, a businessman and film producer, died by suicide on June 22, 2020 at the age of 55.
According to the insider, “Liz and Damian are so close and used to spending so much time together, he’s been her plus one forever, and now Billy Ray is taking that spot.”
“Granted, Damian is older now and has his own life. But it’s hard for him to share his mother’s attention. Damian has made it clear that he doesn’t want to spend time with Billy Ray,” the source said.
Billy and the Strictly confidential stars are “like oil and water. Damian is really into the high fashion world and London’s society scene – he couldn’t be more chic. And Billy Ray is pure country.”
They were on good terms when Liz “first introduced” them because “they added each other on Instagram and exchanged messages.” They went shopping for cowboy boots and hats and Billy Ray even gave Damian some designer pieces from his own closet. But after Damian’s last visit to Nashville, he refused to come back,” the source revealed.
“Liz goes into turmoil trying to reassure Billy Ray on one side and persuade Damian on the other. It’s exhausting. But she’s not giving up – these are the two men she loves most,” the source concluded.
It is pertinent to mention that Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley confirmed their relationship in April 2025 after meeting on the set of Christmas in Paradise in 2022.
