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."

102-year-old Chicago woman gives viral life advice
A chance meeting at Chicago's airport has transformed 102-year-old Beatrice Stieber into an unlikely social media sensation, spreading her simple philosophy of life to millions around the world. CBS News contributor David Begnaud first encountered Steiber during a layover earlier this year. Their impromptu interview, in which the centenarian shared her secrets to longevity, garnered nearly 9 million views and more than 17,000 comments on social media. "The secret to me is attitude and gratitude," Steiber told Begnaud during their initial meeting. "Attitude and gratitude, attitude and gratitude." The overwhelming response prompted Begnaud to return to Chicago, where Stieber has lived since 1953, for a follow-up visit. Despite her age, Stieber maintains an active lifestyle in her apartment building, where she has resided for more than 40 years. She grocery shops independently and deep cleans her own home. Building manager Ken noted her sharp mind, saying he would never guess she's over 100 years old. "I always get taken for 70," Stieber said. "Not only that, there are a couple of 70-year-olds that look like they're 102." Stieber was married to her late husband, Robert, for 52 years and raised two sons, Jay, 77, and Dean, 68. She continued driving until age 98. Her philosophy on life remains refreshingly simple after more than a century of experiences. "You plot along and you find the humor and you say thank you for the trees, thank you for life," she said. "Life is a miracle." The viral fame has brought unexpected connections. Fans from Long Island, New York, and New Jersey called Stieber, sharing how her message of gratitude has impacted their lives. "She changed my life for the better," said Carmel from New Jersey. "Sometimes I used to be a little bit sad, but after I saw her, I want to live." The visit concluded with a celebration of Stieber's 102-and-a-half birthday at her favorite Chicago restaurant, surrounded by family — a fitting tribute to someone who believes every moment deserves celebration. "Thank you, God, for everything," Stieber said while making her birthday wish. Her unexpected internet fame hasn't gone to her head, though she admits the attention has been overwhelming. "I got a million calls," she said."I live in a world where I couldn't even imagine the response. I couldn't even imagine we met by accident." David Begnaud loves uncovering the heart of every story and will continue to do so, highlighting everyday heroes and proving that there is good news in the news with his exclusive "CBS Mornings" series, "Beg-Knows America."

‘Day of the Jackal' author Frederick Forsyth dies at 86
Frederick Forsyth, the British author of 'The Day of the Jackal' and other bestselling thrillers, has died after a brief illness, his literary agent said Monday. He was 86. Jonathan Lloyd, his agent, said Forsyth died at home early Monday surrounded by his family. 'We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers,' Lloyd said. Born in Kent, in southern England, in 1938, Forsyth served as a Royal Air Force pilot before becoming a foreign correspondent. He covered the attempted assassination of French President Charles de Gaulle in 1962, which provided inspiration for 'The Day of the Jackal,' his bestselling political thriller about a professional assassin. Published in 1971, the book propelled him into global fame. It was made into a film in 1973 starring Edward Fox as the Jackal and more recently a television series starring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch. In 2015, Forsyth told the BBC that he had also worked for the British intelligence agency MI6 for many years, starting from when he covered a civil war in Nigeria in the 1960s. Although Forsyth said he did other jobs for the agency, he said he was not paid for his services and 'it was hard to say no' to officials seeking information. 'The zeitgeist was different,' he told the BBC. 'The Cold War was very much on.' He wrote more than 25 books including 'The Afghan,' 'The Kill List,' 'The Dogs of War' and 'The Fist of God' that have sold over 75 million copies, Lloyd said. His publisher, Bill Scott-Kerr, said that 'Revenge of Odessa,' a sequel to the 1974 book 'The Odessa File' that Forsyth worked on with fellow thriller author Tony Kent, will be published in August. 'Still read by millions across the world, Freddie's thrillers define the genre and are still the benchmark to which contemporary writers aspire,' Scott-Kerr said.
