Billy Ray Cyrus, 65, has proposed to Elizabeth Hurley, 61, after more than a year of dating. Sources confirmed the engagement to Page Six after Hurley was photographed wearing a large diamond ring on the set of“The‘Burbs.”Cyrus kept his own announcement simple, posting a ring emoji alongside the caption,“This is the most fertile solid ground I have stood on in a long time.”
Their story goes back to 2022, when the two met while filming the holiday movie“Christmas in Paradise.”They reconnected in February 2025 and went public with their relationship on Easter Sunday that same year. Hurley has hinted the pairing makes more sense than people expect, saying there are“a lot more similarities than you’d think”between them.
For Cyrus, this will be his fourth marriage. He shares six children, including Miley Cyrus, with his previous partners. Hurley was previously engaged to the late cricketer Shane Warne and dated Hugh Grant for 13 years. Their families now blend two very famous, very established worlds.
