Billy Ray Cyrus' blossoming relationship with Elizabeth Hurley has motivated him to fix the broken bond within his family.
The Country singer has repeatedly made waves for his estranged relationship with some of his children, especially his famous daughter Miley Cyrus. Now, he is reportedly more inclined to rekindle their relationship thanks to his new girlfriend.
Billy Ray Cyrus welcomed Miley and her younger siblings, Noah and Braison Cyrus, during his marriage to Tish Cyrus. The former couple's relationship experienced many ups and downs, including multiple divorce filings, before they finally separated in 2022.
Love has reportedly changed Billy Ray in more ways than one, as a source recently claimed he wishes to introduce his new lover to his family. They noted he was head over heels for Hurley and believed his children would love her too.
Billy Ray, per the insider, saw Hurley as his good luck charm and suspected that she could be the bridge to rekindling his relationship with his estranged family. "He's had a huge turnaround when it comes to his mistake of a marriage and has admitted he should have listened to Miley," the source revealed.
They told In Touch that Billy Ray had learned from his mistakes and was willing to swallow his pride if it meant Miley would forgive him. The same applied to Tish and her new husband, Dominic Purcell, with the insider noting the country singer was ready to apologize for any grief he had caused.
Billy Ray's complete 180 seemed linked to his romance with Hurley as he wished to enjoy his new relationship while building a stronger bond with his family. The source stressed that he would do whatever was necessary to fix his mistakes and earn his loved ones' forgiveness, saying:
"He isn't trying to go backwards, but he's hoping and praying that they can have a new beginning and a new version of their family."
While his relationship with Miley has become estranged, Billy Ray has a good relationship with his other children. "Noah and Braison are still speaking to him, so he's counting his lucky stars that he at least has two kids that don't hate him," the insider added.
Days before a source shared Billy Ray's desperate attempts to reunite with his family, The Blast covered his blossoming romance with Hurley. The couple turned heads at the opening of the Orizzonti/Rossi exhibition. The event celebrated Valentino's showcase in Rome, with the pair stepping out in their finest.
Billy Ray and Hurley put on a stunning display as lovers, unable to keep their hands to themselves. The actress looked radiant in a hot pink Safiyaa gown that gave onlookers plenty to see with its plunging neckline design. Meanwhile, the country singer rocked his signature style.
True to his country image, Billy Ray donned his trademark cowboy hat and shades while rocking a black jacket with leather accents. He completed the look with tight-fitting pants adorned with silver medallions. He and Hurley attended the event as a trio, with her son Damian looking dapper in a red suit.
Billy Ray and Hurley's relationship began platonically while filming "Christmas in Paradise." They immediately bonded on set, with the singer noting they were so different, yet they felt strangely connected. Surprisingly, they didn't stay in contact after the movie.
The couple reconnected two years later during a difficult time in Billy Ray's life. He was pleasantly surprised when Hurley contacted him to offer her support and cheer him on through his struggles, a move that paved the path to their romance.
They officially became a couple and made their Instagram debut in April 2025. The post captured Billy Ray and Hurley cozying up on a farm while wearing blue ensembles. They looked happy and in love, as the media personality placed a tender kiss on the actress's cheek.
Last month, Billy Ray caused a stir on Instagram after dropping a throwback video of him and Miley performing a song. The Blast reported that the touching video raised eyebrows because his ex-wife unfollowed their daughter hours later.
Internet sleuths noticed that Tish had unfollowed Miley on Instagram and speculated if she was uncomfortable with a possible reconciliation with Billy Ray. However, she caught wind of the chatter and hit the follow button again, making many suspect she accidentally unfollowed her daughter.
The timing of the incident was suspicious because Billy Ray reflected on his good time with Miley. The video he shared captured him on the guitar and his daughter on the piano while singing an emotional tune about missing and loving someone.
"Can't wait to see this young lady. Crazy how time flies," he captioned the post.
