Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley are engaged after dating for more than a year. The couple confirmed the news following social media posts featuring a diamond ring and a ring emoji.
Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley are engaged, according to sources confirmed to Page Six. The couple, who have been dating for more than a year, made the relationship official after Hurley was seen wearing a large diamond ring.
The engagement rumors began on Monday, Oct. 12, when Hurley posted behind-the-scenes photos from the set of "The 'Burbs" season 2. In the images, she wore a white bathrobe and displayed a diamond ring on her left-hand ring finger. Her son, Damian Hurley, commented "SO EXCITED ❤️❤️❤️" on the post.
Three days later, on Thursday, Oct. 15, Cyrus posted a photo on Instagram with a ring emoji in the caption. The post was set to the song "Something with a Ring to It" by Mark Collie. "This is the most fertile solid ground I have stood on in a long time," Cyrus wrote. He also mentioned his upcoming show with NASCAR in Phoenix, adding, "Kinda has a ring 💍 to it."
Damian Hurley responded to Cyrus's post with a celebratory emoji. While one source told Page Six that Hurley is filming "The 'Burbs" and stated, "I hardly think this ring is a prop," Fox News noted that it remained unclear whether the jewelry belonged to Hurley or her character at the time of the initial reports.
Cyrus, 65, and Hurley, 61, first met while filming the 2022 holiday film "Christmas in Paradise" on the Caribbean island of Nevis. They reconnected in February 2025 and went public with their relationship on Easter Sunday in April 2025 by sharing a photo of Cyrus kissing Hurley on the cheek.
Hurley has described their connection as having "a lot more similarities than you’d think." In an interview with the "SheerLuxe" podcast, she joked, "We have the same hair. Identical hair. Apart from his beard, we’re actually like twins."
The couple has spoken about their shared love of country life. Hurley told Page Six in May that Cyrus's farm in Tennessee is similar to her farm in Gloucestershire, England. "In a way it kind of feels normal," she said. Cyrus told People magazine that Hurley came into his life during the making of his album "The Hill," stating, "She came over to explore why Nashville is so happening."
This will be the fourth marriage for Cyrus. He was previously married to Cindy Smith (1986–1991), Tish Cyrus (1993–2023), and Firerose (2023–2024). Cyrus has six children, including Miley Cyrus.
Hurley was previously married to Indian businessman Arun Nayar (2007–2011). She was also in a long-term relationship with actor Hugh Grant (1987–2000) and was engaged to cricketer Shane Warne (2011–2013). She has one son, Damian, with late producer Steve Bing.
The engagement follows a period of public speculation that began with Hurley's social media posts and Cyrus's cryptic references to a ring. The couple's relationship has been documented through various interviews and social media interactions since they went public in April 2025. Representatives for Cyrus and Hurley could not be reached for comment by Page Six or People.
