Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus announce relationship in 'Happy Easter' post
Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus have made it Instagram official.
The British actress and American country musician cuddled up in a picture shared jointly to their Instagram accounts on Sunday, simply captioned "Happy Easter ❤️." In the picture, Cyrus, decked out in a lime green bunny ears headband, embraces Hurley from the side and plants a kiss on her cheek. Hurley, wearing a cowboy hat, sports a radiant smile as the couple lean against an old wooden fence in the middle of what appears to be an open field.
The couple have not been previously romantically linked, though Hurley did set a video posted to her Instagram on April 9 from the Maldives to Cyrus' 1993 song "She's Not Cryin' Anymore."
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Hurley and Cyrus.
Damian Hurley, the actress' son from her previous marriage to to the American businessman and founder of Shangri-La Entertainment, Steve Bing, sent his well wishes to the couple by commenting a celebratory emoji followed by a red heart.
Other prominent commenters had other reactions, including Little House on the Prairie actress Melissa Gilbert, who wrote, "Wait….what?"
Though Gilbert has never shared the screen with Hurley or Cyrus, she did appear on season 14 of Dancing With the Stars in 2012, while Cyrus appeared on the reality competition series' fourth season, in 2007.
Cyrus filed for divorce from the Australian singer Firerose in June 2024, seven months after the pair were married. The musicians began dating in 2022, months after Cyrus separated from Tish Cyrus, his wife of 29 years and the mother of Noah and Miley Cyrus.
Hurley was previously married to the Indian businessman Arun Nayar, from 2007 to 2010. Shortly after their divorce, Hurley announced her engagement to the Australian cricketer Shane Warne, and the couple split in 2013. Hurley also previously dated Hugh Grant for 13 years, from 1987 to 2000.
Speaking on a 2015 episode of Watch What Happens Live, Hurley said of Grant, "He remains my best friend to this day, and I would say this if he was sitting here, but he used to really annoy me. I love him, but he's very annoying... My friends used to call him Grumplestiltskin."
Hurley's comments echoed Grant's own from a decade earlier, when in 2003 he confirmed, "we're good friends," but making light of his own appeal as a romantic prospect, added, "I'm full of poison and jealousy.... Virtually no milk of human kindness."

SHINee's Key on K-pop Stardom After 30 and Reuniting with U.S. Fans
K-pop star Key is never one to sit idle. The 33-year-old, a member of the iconic boy group SHINee, finds himself performing as a group member, creating as a solo artist, starring in multiple reality TV shows and still finding time to have moments to himself. More from The Hollywood Reporter BET Awards: Jamie Foxx Tearfully Thanks God for Giving Him a "Second Chance" After Health Scare Jonathan Mayers, Concert Promoter and Bonnaroo Co-Founder, Dies at 51 Doechii Calls Out Trump's "Ruthless Attacks" Amid L.A. Protests in BET Speech: "What Type of Government Is That?" 'I think every person has their own 12 identities or something,' the singer jokes to The Hollywood Reporter backstage at his music agency SM Entertainment's SMTown Live L.A. He goes on to explain that every person takes on a different identity in a different situation, and that's how he's been able to tackle his many roles as a household name in Korea. Below, the K-pop star gets honest about growing older in the industry, what kind of music he's looking to create next and what he's most excited about when visiting L.A. this summer for KCON. How does it feel to be back in L.A. after some time? You said, as SHINee, you haven't been here in 10 years. I [completed my] military service and [there was] also [the] pandemic. After that, Taemin went to [his] military service, so timing was so, so bad for SHINee. But I've always missed [our] American fans, and of course, I always miss L.A. But you know what? Two days ago I felt – I don't know why – but something's changed a lot. I know it's [been] like six years, but it changed a lot. [It's the] same, but different. At first, I thought, 'Oh God, I have to visit more.' When I saw the fans with my own eyes today, It was heartwarming. [I felt] love, and I felt sorry too, actually. Did you? Yeah, a lot. Are you hoping to get more opportunities to come here? Yeah. As solo artist or as SHINee as many as if it's possible, I really want to come. Actually, I'm not sure, but I'm in the planning stages for my American tour. I'm not sure [yet], but I want to. As SHINee, I want to come here often, too. In the last six years, K-pop has become increasingly more popular in the U.S. There's just more of a demand for artists to come perform here than there was six to 10 years ago. Have you noticed a difference in that atmosphere? K-Pop started [gaining popularity in the U.S.] 15 or 16 years ago. I think. I thought it was kind of sort of a syndrome or something, like anime music. Like a few really dedicated fans. I'm a nerd too. I thought it was kind of like that kind of phase. But five to six years ago, K-pop was popular. And, now, what's K-pop and what's American pop? What does it mean? People dance to [a] Vietnamese song on TikTok… It doesn't matter [to] this generation. I'm singing in Korean, singing in Japanese, singing in English, it doesn't matter now. I'm kind of glad, actually That must be more freeing to you as an artist. In the past if you couldn't understand the lyrics, people didn't listen, you know what I mean? But these days, [it's] totally different. I think it changed a lot. It depends on [the] artist's expression, singing English or singing Korean, it's freeing. I feel more free even now than before as an artist. How do you feel you've changed as an artist? You've had a long career, and you're at a very different place than when you started. Naturally, you've grown into adulthood, but I'm wondering if even over the last few years since you were discharged from the military, if you've noticed a change in how you perform? Let me be honest, when I was NCT's age, I didn't know I could work at this age [33]. I couldn't imagine it, honestly. People said that a lot. All the senior artists said it's not that long [and] lasting [in a] group is really hard. I heard those kind of things a lot in the past, but now I'm 34 [Korean age] and I'm still doing the same thing. When I was a teenager, I thought when I turned 30 years old, I really thought – what should I do for my chapter? But now it's different. That kind of generation has changed, and I want to show to my junior artists, you guys can do this too [into your 30s], the same [way] you did before. A lot of good things happened to my own career that I couldn't imagine. And everything happened after [I was] 30 years old. I couldn't imagine seriously, and I didn't plan this. I did what I could do sincerely. That was my job, that [I did] with my heart. I didn't quit. That's the point. Then I thought, yeah, maybe 10 years later I'll be doing the same thing, so now I can plan it. That's the biggest thing that's changed in my life. You're playing KCON L.A. this summer. How are you feeling about that? I feel really good that I made a promise to all my U.S. fans. I feel like I'm listening to their wishes. I feel really happy. I'm coming back really soon. It feels like I'm proving something to my fans that I told you, and I'm so excited. Actually this time we were in Mexico [right before], and we came here straight from Mexico, so I couldn't enjoy Los Angeles. I couldn't go out. I couldn't enjoy that much, but performing is enough for me, actually. With KCON, I'm pretty sure I want to enjoy more. It's a one day performance, so before the performance, after the performance, I want enjoy more. I want take more pictures. I want to show everyone [my trip]. was your last release. It still very much feels like a Key song, but it's a little different from some of your past releases. Where do you feel you're at sonically as a solo artist? Are you at a point where you want to try new things? I think one of the good things of K-pop, there's no genre. As a human… I'm such a weird person [laughs]. I'm movie nerd. In K-pop, you can mix everything, all the cultures, all the genres and all the videos into one album. I'm not saying I'm that talented. I'm not saying I'm capable of everything. But even I don't know what I want to do next. I think it depends on that year's whole environment and vibes and trends. I can pick some ideas from my past. Maybe it'll happen like that. But this year, as a human Kibum [his given name], Pleasure Shop was kind of mild for me. I want to do something stronger. I miss Gasoline so much, so I'm going to bring that again on an album in plan this year. You said your music is just one part of you. How do you feel you differentiate these parts of your life? I think every person has their own 12 identities or something. Each person, not even just celebrities. If you are a human, when you go to work, when you are in school, when you meet your best friend or when you meet a friend who you don't like, it's like you become a totally different human. You know what I mean? As an artist, and as a human, it's the same. When I'm in a bad mood, I can be a bad kid. It happens because I'm a human too. In some way, maybe you won't believe this, but I'm kind of shy. I can be shy at some point and hard, and difficult. You can't just express one identity. When I go on a variety show, I think I'm Conan O'Brien. I really feel like that – I'm a comedian. When I'm on stage. I'm a pop star. I'm a Michael [Jackson] on stage. I feel like that. When I'm in a magazine. I feel like I'm a model. when I'm private. It's almost the same in private too. It's like that. There's no more, who am I? What kind of artist is Key? I don't do that. There's a lot of me.

The Beach Boys Remember Brian Wilson: 'He Was the Soul of Our Sound'
The Beach Boys themselves are paying tribute to Brian Wilson after his family confirmed the news of his death Wednesday. 'The world mourns a genius today, and we grieve for the loss of our cousin, our friend, and our partner in a great musical adventure,' the band wrote on their official Instagram account Wednesday. 'Brian Wilson wasn't just the heart of The Beach Boys — he was the soul of our sound. The melodies he dreamed up and the emotions he poured into every note changed the course of music forever. His unparalleled talent and unique spirit created the soundtrack of so many lives around the globe, including our own. Together, we gave the world the American dream of optimism, joy, and a sense of freedom — music that made people feel good, made them believe in summer and endless possibilities.' More from The Hollywood Reporter From the Streets to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Doobie Brothers Look Back at 50 Years of Rock Hits Paul McCartney Pays Tribute to Brian Wilson: "He Had That Mysterious Sense of Musical Genius" Apple Music Head Calls It "Crazy" Other Streaming Platforms Offer Music for Free The band further said they were 'heartbroken by his passing.' 'We will continue to cherish the timeless music we made together and the joy he brought to millions over the decades,' the Beach Boys wrote. 'And while we will miss him deeply, his legacy will live on through his songs and in our memories.' Al Jardine, one of the founding members of The Beach Boys, gave a separate statement beyond the band's well. 'Brian Wilson, my friend, my classmate, my football teammate, my Beach Boy bandmate and my brother in spirit, I will always feel blessed that you were in our lives for as long as you were,' Jardine said. 'I think the most comforting thought right now is that you are reunited with Carl and Dennis, singing those beautiful harmonies again.' Jardine and Wilson were two of the original Beach Boys, alongside Mike Love and Wilson's two brothers, Carl and Dennis. The three Wilson brothers, their cousin Love and their friend Jardine officially formed the band in 1961. As Jardine referenced, Carl Wilson died in 1998, while Dennis Wilson died in 1983. 'You were a humble giant who always made me laugh and we will celebrate your music forever,' Jardine said. Brian, I'll really miss you…still I have the warmth of the sun within me tonight.' After Wilson's family confirmed his death, tributes began pouring in for the late icon. Elton John said on Instagram that Wilson was 'the biggest influence on my songwriting ever.' John Stamos, who has performed with The Beach Boys, including during their stint on Full House, shared a tribute on Instagram. 'Brian Wilson didn't just soundtrack my life…he filled it with color, with wonder, with some of the most unforgettable, emotional, joyful moments I've ever known,' Stamos wrote. 'It's hard to put into words what it meant to stand beside him, laugh with him, play his music with him. Brian wasn't just a musical genius, he was a gentle, soulful, funny, complex, beautiful man.'
