Elizabeth Hurley had everyone zooming in on Monday, October 12, when she posted Instagram mirror selfies featuring a large diamond ring on her left ring finger. If that wasn’t enough of a clue, Billy Ray Cyrus leaned in on Thursday, October 15, adding a ring emoji and the caption“Kinda has a ring to it”to a post about his new music and an upcoming NASCAR event. Hurley’s son Damian even dropped a party emoji in the comments, which fans read as a pretty big wink.
The couple’s story goes back to 2022, when they met while filming the holiday movie Christmas in Paradise on the Caribbean island of Nevis. They reconnected in 2024 amid Cyrus’s split from Firerose, and they’ve been linked ever since. Neither star’s representatives have commented on the engagement speculation, which of course has only made the internet dig harder.
So are they or aren’t they? The ring, the emoji, the caption, the party comment from Damian — the clues are all pointing one direction, but nothing’s official yet. We’ll be watching their next posts very, very closely.
What do you think — are Billy Ray and Elizabeth engaged? Sound off in the comments.
