Liz Hurley takes major step with Billy Ray Cyrus ahead of 60th birthday
Actress Elizabeth Hurley is getting ready to make the next big move with musician Billy Ray Cyrus ahead of her milestone birthday just a month after announcing their shock romance
Elizabeth Hurley is gearing up to take her romance with Billy Ray Cyrus to the next level as she marks her milestone birthday. The actress stunned fans with her unexpected relationship as she cosied up the the Achy Breaky Heart hitmaker, 63, at Easter.
Even Liz admitted the pairing was "unexpected," having first crossed paths on the film set of Christmas in Paradise in 2022. After production wrapped up, they didn't exchange words for two years.
Yet it was Liz who rekindled their friendship at a time when Billy Ray needed companionship the most during his separation from his wife, Firerose. The pair seem to not be taking this slow as they have already begun to merge their lives.
Liz has since shared an insight into her plans for her 60th birthday, with Billy Ray by her side. "He should be in England for my birthday. He'll be meeting my family – and my dogs – and hopefully, it'll be lovely," she said.
Opening up on her plans, she told Hello! magazine: "I love every birthday. I always get overexcited if it's a big birthday – I think people are even nicer to you, maybe give you more presents, more flowers, and generally spoil you more. I welcome it."
Her plans with Billy Ray go beyond just her birthday, as Liz recently shared her wishes of creating a "great life" with the musician. Speaking with E! News, she shared: "It was unexpected. But we're very happy together. And hopefully we'll have a great life."
Billy Ray has also been candid about his feelings towards the Austin Powers actress. He spoke warmly about their connection while on The Ty Bentli Show, reflecting how they bonded during the shooting of their 2022 film.
He said: "We did very few scenes together but the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry there. We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot.
"The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different."
Billy Ray gushed: "If all we ever were [is] the friends that we are, I would take that. She's so impressively brilliant. She reminds me a lot of Dolly Parton. She's a very smart businesswoman."
"If you can laugh together, you can make it through everything."
Billy Ray acknowledged the tough times following his divorce, sharing: "I felt like, 'Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?' For me, at a certain point it was like, you can't get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you. And in this moment ... a friend reached out."
He responded to an unknown number, only to find out it was Liz reaching out. "I text back, I go, 'Who is this?' And it's like, 'Elizabeth Hurley.' Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most ... this friend who made me laugh."

"I genuinely thought she was winding me up and had pretended to swallow it and had it hidden behind her back. "So then I couldn't go home as my mum was night shift at work so I had to phone her at work and tell her what happened, she thought I was winding her up too. I had to stay at my friend's that night."

Inside Oasis' setlist after iconic song is heard in rehearsals
It's not your imaaaaginaasheeeunnn – it's been revealed that one of Oasis' classic hits will make the setlist of their 2025 world tour. The Manchester rock group, fronted by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, announced a reunion tour 15 years after their acrimonious split in 2009. Starting in Cardiff in July, the Oasis Live 25 tour will conclude in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in November, with five sold-out Manchester dates penciled in for mid-July. With the big tour just a month away now, fans are on the hunt for any hints at the classic Oasis hits that might be included by Liam and Noel in the setlist. Oasis scored an impressive eight number one singles across their 15 years in the spotlight, with a total of 23 of their songs hitting the top 10 of the UK charts. Not to mention that Liam and Noel might use spots in the setlist to perform songs they wrote as part of side-projects Beady Eye and High Flying Birds respectively. This means that some big hits are unlikely to make the cut, leaving some fans disappointed – but one big hit that seems to have been included is the 1994 song Cigarettes & Alcohol. Famed for its interpolation of T-Rex's 1971 chart-topper Get It On (which itself was inspired by a Chuck Berry song) Cigarettes & Alcohol reached number seven in the UK in 1994. It was the final single from Oasis' debut album Definitely Maybe, and eventually reached Platinum status in the UK in March 2020 after shifting 600,000 units. A source who was at one of the band's rehearsals told The Sun: 'Oasis have never sounded better. They were playing Cigarettes & Alcohol and Liam's vocals sounded really good. '[Liam's impressive vocals] were probably down to the two packets of Lockets cough sweets that he was sucking throughout the rehearsal.' The source added: 'You could hear Noel's lead guitar really well and he sounded so good too. To hear them playing live, and playing so loudly, was an incredible moment.' News about the setlist has come just days after it was claimed that Liam and Noel hadn't yet rehearsed together – reports that now appear to be untrue. Insiders claimed that the brothers were taking the same rumoured approach as Rolling Stones legends Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who would often rehearse apart from each other. More Trending Mick and Keith had personal beef with one another after both rockers ended up being responsible for the break-up of each other's relationships. On top of the promising reports about Cigarettes & Alcohol, Liam confirmed that one Oasis song definitely being included in the setlist is What's the Story? album opener Hello. Rumours suggested that Hello would be cut because it featured lyrics written by former glam rock popstar and convicted sex offender Gary Glitter (real name Paul Gadd). But last month, Liam denied the rumours on social media, writing on X in response to a fan asking if they would omit the famous song: 'We'll be playing HELLO, trust me.' Got a story?

Nicola Peltz's gratitude over 'beautiful people' in her life amid Beckhams rift
Nicola Peltz - who has been at the centre of speculation about the alleged Beckham family rift - paid tribute to three people in her life in a post on social media amid the rumours Amid ongoing rumours of a rift with her husband Brooklyn Beckham 's family, Nicola Peltz has expressed gratitude for "beautiful people" that are in her life. The actor shared the update with fans on social media this afternoon. Nicola, 30, paid tribute to her "team" in the post on her Instagram Story earlier today. She was seen posing beside three people, one of whom is a celebrity hairdresser, in a photo shared with her followers on the platform. The Transformers: Age of Extinction star looked in good spirits as she took the selfie in a mirror alongside the trio. Nicola wrote in the caption: "I love my team so much. I'm so grateful to have such beautiful people around me." They are just three of the people in Nicola's circle, which has attracted attention lately. It was reported earlier this week that she has a "fast-growing posse of A-list friends," according to a source that spoke to Closer magazine. It was also suggested that she is "becoming the Queen Bee" at the moment amid reports of tension with her in-laws. Nicola's close pals are said to include Selena Gomez, and she's reportedly reconnected with "old pals" like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber recently. Meghan Markle was described by the source as her "newest pal". They said that through the former actor, Nicola had been introduced to Serena Williams. The speculation about Nicola's circles of friends comes amid ongoing rumours of a rift within the Beckham family. It was fuelled by Nicola and her husband Brooklyn, 26, having reportedly been absent from 50th birthday celebrations for his father David Beckham, 50, last month. At one point, the relationship between Romeo Beckham, 22, and Kim Turnbull, 24, - who have since split up, though reportedly not due to the alleged family feud - was attributed as a factor in the alleged rift. TMZ reported earlier this year that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola questioned whether Kim had "the right intentions" for dating Romeo. It came amid speculation that Romeo's brother Brooklyn was once romantically linked to Kim, though TMZ reported at the time that it was "all under the bridge". Hello magazine however reported Cruz Beckham, 20, wrote in a now-deleted comment amid the rumours on social media: "Brooklyn and Kim never dated." More recently though, other parties have been blamed for the apparent rift instead. It's included Nicola being blamed for the rumoured tension by some people. She has also been defended though, with a source previously telling the Mirror that she "encourages" Brooklyn to see his family. Amid the ongoing speculation, a source said last month that there was "distance" between Brooklyn and his parents David and Victoria Beckham, 51.
