British actress Elizabeth Hurley, 59, and American country star Billy Ray Cyrus, 63, have confirmed they are in a relationship by sharing a festive Easter photo. The couple, who had not previously been romantically linked, posted a joint Instagram photo on Sunday, sparking widespread curiosity and commentary.

The image shows Cyrus dressed in a lime green bunny ears headband, hugging Hurley and kissing her on the cheek. Hurley, radiant in a cowboy hat, beams at the camera as the pair lean against a rustic wooden fence, set in a picturesque open field. The caption was a simple “Happy Easter,” but the message was clear: the two are officially an item.

Though the pairing seemed to come out of nowhere, fans have begun to speculate that subtle clues may have been dropped earlier this month. On April 9, Hurley shared a video from the Maldives to her Instagram, set to Cyrus’ 1993 hit “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore,” a choice that seems telling in hindsight.

The announcement quickly drew reactions from friends and fans alike. Hurley’s 22-year-old son, Damian Hurley, voiced his support by commenting with a celebratory emoji and a red heart. Meanwhile, actress Melissa Gilbert, best known for her role on Little House on the Prairie, expressed her shock with a simple, “Wait… what?”

Cyrus’s romantic life has made headlines in recent years. He filed for divorce from Australian singer Firerose in June 2024, just seven months after they wed. Their relationship began in 2022 following his separation from longtime wife Tish Cyrus, with whom he shares five children, including singers Miley and Noah Cyrus.

Hurley, too, has a well-documented romantic history. She was married to Indian businessman Arun Nayar from 2007 to 2010, was briefly engaged to Australian cricketer Shane Warne, and famously dated actor Hugh Grant for 13 years. Despite their breakup, Hurley has described Grant as her “best friend,” though she once joked he could be “very annoying,” a sentiment Grant reciprocated with self-deprecating humor.

While the pairing of Cyrus and Hurley may seem unexpected, the couple’s Easter debut has already cemented their status as one of the most talked-about celebrity duos of 2025.
