Elizabeth Hurley 'likes the whole cowboy thing' about Billy Ray Cyrus
Elizabeth Hurley 'likes the whole cowboy thing' about new boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus.
The 59-year-old actress and the 63-year-old singer surprised their followers with a joint Instagram post on Easter Sunday, which showed Billy giving Elizabeth a kiss on the cheek but friends say Elizabeth finds Billy Ray's country roots attractive.
A friend told the New York Post's Page Six: 'She's been waiting a long time for romance. I think she likes the whole cowboy thing.'
The pal added that Elizabeth spent Easter with country singer Billy Ray at his Nashville ranch.
And, while some celebrities and fans have reacted with shock to the new romance, insiders insist Elizabeth and Billy Ray are serious about each other.
One pal said: 'This is not a hoax. Liz is not a hoaxy person; she's very sincere, very bright and I think she likes him. Just look at the photo of them together — she looks happy! People are so quick to be mean.'
Elizabeth and Billy Ray have not shared any other information about their reported relationship, however Elizabeth did hint at the romance earlier this month.
During a recent holiday to the Maldives, she posted a picture of herself in a bikini and tagged Billy Ray's account.
She also used his song 'She's Not Cryin' Anymore' to accompany the picture and he liked the post.
The pair have worked together in the past having starred in the 2022 film 'Christmas in Paradise'.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth – who had son Damian Hurley with the late businessman Steve Bing – and was previously married to Arun Nayar from 2008 to 2010, revealed in 2020 that she was looking for 'companionship' and 'fun'.
She explained to Tatler: 'I'd definitely be open to the idea of being loved, loving someone, having someone fantastic in my life and sharing it,' Hurley told Tatler in February 2020. 'I don't know if marriage comes into that to be honest, because I'm not going to have more children, and I don't need anyone to pay my bills or give me a roof over my head. But I would like someone for companionship, fun.'
Billy Ray's first wife was Cindy Smith, whom he was married to from 1986 until their divorce in 1991.
The country star and his second ex-wife Tish Cyrus, 57, are parents to Miley Cyrus, 32, Noah Cyrus, 25, and Braison Cyrus, 33.
Billy Ray adopted Brandi Cyrus, 37, and Trace Cyrus, 36, from Tish's past relationship. Billy Ray also has a 33-year-old son, Christopher Cody, whose mother is waitress Kristin Luckey.
He started a relationship with singer Firerose, 36, in 2022, they tied the knot in October 2023 but divorced less than a year later.

Sabrina Carpenter shocks fans with Man's Best Friend album artwork
Sabrina Carpenter will release the album Man's Best Friend on August 29. The prolific pop star is set to release the follow-up to Short n' Sweet almost exactly a year later. Sabrina shocked fans by standing on all fours in front of a man pulling her hair on the racy artwork, with the cover dividing opinion. However, one fan defending the Espresso hitmaker suggested she was poking fun at the fact people said "she's for the male gaze". They wrote on X: "I've already seen enough so i gotta explain this cover cuz apparently y'all are acting dense: 'Man's Best Friend' is a phrase referring to a DOG. Sabrina is obviously portraying it on the cover referring to how all of you said she's for the "male gaze'. this is how YOU see her. (sic)" The album will include the lead single, Manchild, which upon its release, Sabrina thanked "men for testing me". The 26-year-old singer explained that Manchild - which she co-wrote with Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen - is "the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life." She penned on Instagram upon the song's release: "i wrote manchild on a random tuesday with amy and jack not too long after finishing short n' sweet and it ended up being the best random tuesday of my life "not only was it so fun to write, but this song became to me something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life. "it sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer ! hence why i wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long! "thank you always and forever for listening and thank you men for testing me! (sic)" There has been much speculation about which of her exes the song is about, with Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan's name mentioned a lot. Sabrina's Grammy-winning Short n' Sweet album was followed by February's deluxe edition, which featured a duet of Please Please Please with Dolly Parton and a new song called Busy Woman.

Nick Kyrgios unveils dramatic new look, opens up on split with Costeen Hatzi
Nick Kyrgios has shown off a dramatic new look and finally commented on the end of his four-year relationship with influencer Costeen Hatzi. Kyrgios, who turned 30 on April 27, and Hatzi ended their relationship in March this year. The Australian, whose tennis career has been blighted by significant injuries over the past three years, took to Instagram over the last 24 hours for a Q and A session with his 4.1 million followers. Using the caption 'Don't hold back, ask whatever', Kyrgios was hit with a wide range of questions and chose to respond to a number of them using Instagram stories. Among queries about his tennis career and his advice for others, the Canberran was also asked a question by someone who has been following his styling trends. 'How's 30 treating you so far and when are you debuting the new haircut?' was one of the questions. Kyrgios replied with a video of him driving and the caption: '30 is unreal – not even in my prime yet. And shaved heads is UNREAL.' You can see the new look in the video below. Cracks had appeared in Kyrgios and Hatzi's relationship earlier this year. In a telling sign in this day and age, they both removed each other from their Instagram bios before Hatzi broke her silence on the rumours in April. 'It's been great,' Hatzi told The Daily Telegraph when asked about her life since the romance ended. 'I'm still going on with work and I have a few different brands that I'm working with at the moment.' She went on to insist that it's important to 'put yourself first' in life. Naturally, Kyrgios – who has stayed quiet about the details of the separation – was also asked about Hatzi during his fan session. 'Will you ever talk on the split with C or keeping it private?' was one question. He said: 'Things happen. I wish her nothing but the best. So many incredible memories that will stay with me.' Kyrgios was also asked what he thought of another former partner, tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, who later had a relationship with current world No. 1 Jannik Sinner which ended in May. Kyrgios called her an 'amazing tennis player' before mentioning a sports management company. Earlier this month, Kyrgios got tongues wagging after a public display with a woman being called a Hatzi 'look-alike'. Kyrgios began chatting with former Love Island reality TV contestant Mia Dalkos. It has not gone unnoticed that Dalkos, whose real name is Efthimia, has unmistakably similar features to the woman Kyrgios recently broke up with. Kyrgios and popular fashion designer Dalkos caused a stir with flirty recent social media engagements. Dalkos captured Kyrgios' attention on Instagram when she shared a video of herself glammed up at a hair salon. Kyrgios commented on the post by sharing a 'double eyes' emoji — a less than subtle way of showing Dalkos that he was interested in the post. The 23-year-old South Australian responded to the former Wimbledon finalist by posting a shy smiling emoji of her own. The 30-year-old Canberran followed up his first message by posting a blunt 'Beautiful' comment on a second photo Dalkos shared the following day. Kyrgios was also in the news in the past week after it emerged he had been axed from a commentary role with the BBC. Reports first landed on Wednesday morning this week the Australian tennis star has been told his services will not be required when the network begins its coverage of Wimbledon, beginning June 30. It comes after his appointment to the broadcaster's team for the event last year sparked uproar. In another body blow, The Telegraph reports Kyrgios will also not appear during ESPN's coverage of the tournament, despite working with the American broadcaster during the Australian Open in 2024 and 2025. It has been a brutal few weeks for the 30-year-old after he was last month forced to pull out of his plans to play doubles with partner Jordan Thompson at the French Open. Citing a recently flared up knee injury, Kyrgios was forced to pull out on the eve of the event and he last week confirmed he will not play at Wimbledon this year because of injuries.
