Reactions to Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus new relationship exposed.
Fans were floored when Billy Ray Cyrus kissed Elizabeth Hurley in a joint Easter Instagram post that screamed “new couple energy.”
New couple’s dating history profiled.
Billy Ray’s most recent marriage ended in a very public mess just eight months ago.
He tied the knot with Firerose (a.k.a. Johanna Rosie Hodges) in late 2023. The marriage lasted only seven months.
Cyrus accused Firerose of “isolating him from his family” and lying about who she really was.
A source claimed Firerose just wanted peace and “emotional closure,” accepting a deal to end the “smear campaign.”
Tensions with his daughter Miley had already been swirling—reports say the Firerose era widened the rift.
Known for her sharp wit and glam lifestyle, Hurley has largely kept her dating life private in recent years.
Hurley dated Hugh Grant and was linked to Shane Warne. Billy Ray? Well, he married two singers and raised a pop icon.
Hurley was single, Cyrus was newly single. Add one tropical shoot and some DMs, and voilà.
Origins of relationship detailed.
Until now, there had been zero social media posts, sightings, or press linking the two romantically.
Earlier this month, Hurley posted a bikini video in the Maldives, scored to one of Billy Ray’s old love ballads.
The track? His 1992 hit. The implication? She’s vibing with someone new—and yes, he liked the post.
The duo first met in 2022 while filming Christmas in Paradise, a holiday rom-com also starring Kelsey Grammer.
While reviews were lukewarm, their on-screen banter may have sparked something more lasting behind the scenes.
Hurley was long unattached after the passing of Steve Bing, while Cyrus was mid-relationship drama.
Billy and Elizabeth’s PDA-packed pic described.
The photo, posted April 20, shows the pair leaning on a wooden fence, looking farm-core and fully smitten.
Wearing bunny ears and a denim shirt, Cyrus leaned in to kiss Hurley, who rocked a straw hat and flannel shirt.
The actress kept it coy, writing only “Happy Easter ❤️,” but fans read between the (fence) lines.
Billy Ray, 63, didn’t offer any comment on the nature of the pic, nor did 59-year-old Hurley.
Common reaction to couple’s reveal confirmed.
Melissa Gilbert of Little House on the Prairie summed up the collective internet gasp: “Wait….what?”
Elizabeth’s son, Damian Hurley, 23, added a party-face emoji and red heart. Translation: he’s cool with it.
Fans are now scouring old red carpet clips and interviews for any missed signs of their budding romance.
Despite the buzz, their reps have not returned requests for comment. Silence is loud, folks.
Memes, side-by-sides, and “Achy Breaky Heart” remixes are popping up faster than chocolate bunnies.
That’s the million-dollar question. Especially given how public—and yet vague—they’ve decided to be.
Set to his song, on a beach, just days before the Easter kiss reveal? Come on.
From the bunny ears to the flirty captions, it’s hard not to feel like they’re trolling us a bit.
So far, the response has been largely positive—if confused. Call it celebrity curiosity.
There were no leaks, no blurry paparazzi shots—just a full-blown relationship reveal on Easter Sunday.
People expect red carpet announcements. This? Was a full-on ambush with bunny ears and denim.
What’s next for Elizabeth and Billy?
Only time—and maybe the Met Gala—will tell if this farm-fling goes Hollywood-official.
One kiss, one red heart emoji, and suddenly Hurley and Cyrus are the couple we never expected but can’t stop watching.
