But while the English rose and the tattooed country singer from Kentucky are not an obvious match, the union is not entirely out of character. 11 Billy Ray Cyrus kissing Liz Hurley Credit: Instagram/Elizabeth Hurley 11 The unlikely romance has flourished as Liz believes she can 'save' Billy after years of troubles Credit: Instagram 11 Miley Cyrus at the Grammies in 2025 Credit: Getty Austin Powers actress Liz, 59, has a history of dating trouble men, including love cheats Hugh Grant and the late cricketer Shane Warne. So it is perhaps not surprising to hear their bond has flourished, as Liz believes she can 'save' Billy after his years of personal woes. The past 12 months have seen the Achy Breaky Heart singer in the grip of a family feud; facing allegations of domestic abuse by his younger, third wife Firerose — which he denies; and a cringeworthy performance at an inauguration event for US President Donald Trump, which led to him being widely mocked amid a series of technical difficulties. But Liz has been putting in the work. The pair first met in 2022 playing the romantic leads on movie Christmas In Paradise. However, The Sun can reveal they reconnected last year when he turned to the actress and model for help as his third marriage crumbled. A source said: 'Liz has been keeping the whole thing under wraps and has barely told anyone. 'She wanted to make sure there was really something special between them before telling the world. 'There has always been a spark, but he reached out again last year when his short-lived third marriage ended. 'He has had a really hard time, but she has been there helping him turn things around. 'World may lose you' Billy Ray Cyrus finalizes divorce from Firerose and will pay ex-wife $0 after nasty court battle over 7-month marriage 'Liz has been really great for him, but her friends are cautious because of what's been said in the past about him. 'She insists he has turned a corner and is a changed man.' The couple went public with their relationship on Sunday, when Liz shared a photo on Instagram of Billy, 63, kissing her. Alongside the picture, she simply wrote, 'Happy Easter', followed by a heart emoji. Showing his support for the romance, her son Damian commented with party and heart emojis. But, tellingly, none of his six children have acknowledged the post. That is because the Cyrus family fell into a divisive feud in 2022, when it was announced that Billy Ray and Tish — who is pop sensation Miley Cyrus's mum — were divorcing after 29 years of marriage. The chasm widened when, just months later, Billy got engaged to Australian singer Firerose, who is only four years older than Miley. This family breakdown is one heartache Liz has been helping Billy address. The Bedazzled actress is famously close to her son Damian, often posting photos together online and gushing about their love for each other. She has been urging Billy to take the same approach with his girls. A source said: 'Liz has been encouraging him to mend his fractured relationship with his daughter Miley, as well as his other children. 'Her closeness with Damian is inspiring.' In recent weeks, Billy Ray has publicly reached out to both his youngest daughter Noah and to Miley in posts on social media. 11 Liz and love cheat Hugh Grant, pictured in 1999, were together for 13 years Credit: Getty 11 Liz and Steve Bing had son Damian in 2002 11 Liz with the late Aussie cricket legend Shane Warne Credit: Instagram/ elizabethhurley1 As well as commenting on several posts shared on Miley's Instagram — despite the fact she doesn't run her own social accounts — he has also praised them on his page. In one message — accompanied by a photo of Miley that promotes her new album, Something Beautiful, plus a still from Noah's recent Don't Put It All On Me music video — he wrote: 'You are witnessing in real time what it feels like for a dad who in less than one week's time has had his ass kicked and his mind blown by not one . . . but two of his own daughters @mileycyrus @noahcyrus. Flesh and blood . . . completely taking their art to a whole new level. Congratulations girls! 'Well done. 'I'm so damn proud of both of you. 'I'm actually crying as I write this. 'Thank God you can't see me. 'Have fun now and be happy! 'Love Dad.' It is a turnaround from the chaos that has surrounded Billy in recent years. Liz has been really great for him but her friends are cautious because of what's been said in the past about him.... but she insists he is a changed man Sun source Dramas include his claims that Firerose made nearly $100,000 of 'fraudulent' credit card payments, which she said was 'untrue', and he requested a restraining order. But she later hit back and alleged he had domestically abused her and said he was 'unpredictable and volatile' because of alleged substance use. His lawyers insisted he 'vehemently' denied the allegations and said it was Billy Ray 'who, in fact, has been abused. Not only verbally and emotionally by the defendant, but physically'. The couple finally settled their divorce last August. But in January, Billy Ray's son Trace made a public plea for his dad to get help following his appearance at the Trump event, when a sound glitch led to his embarrassing a capella performance. Trace — his second wife's son from a previous relationship, who was adopted and raised by Billy — wrote on Instagram: 'Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you've pushed all of us away. 'Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life, and you haven't even been there for her. 'We are all hanging on to memories of the man we once knew and hoping for the day he returns. 11 Billy Ray and ex-wife Tish in 2008 Credit: Getty 11 Billy Ray married his girlfriend Firerose in a lavish ceremony after two years of dating Credit: Lisa Rhea Photography 11 Billy Ray with daughter Miley in 2017 Credit: Getty 'Extremely close' 'You're not healthy, Dad, and everyone is noticing it. 'Just like I showed up for you at Mamaw's funeral when you didn't expect me to, I'm still here right now. 'I hope you realise this message only comes from a place of love and also fear that the world may lose you far too soon.' He added: 'I don't know what you're struggling with exactly. 'But I think I have a pretty good idea, and I'd love to help you if you would open up and receive the help.' Now it would seem Liz is behind him doing just that. But The Sun can reveal the couple have been linked for a while — even if they are only now going public. A source on Christmas In Paradise has told how they first grew close on set, spending long periods alone together. While they were not seen kissing, crew members were suspicious about a potential love affair as Billy, who was still married to Tish at the time, spoke to almost no one other than Liz. The movie, released in 2022, was mainly filmed in December 2021. One of the producers, who wants to stay anonymous, told The Sun: 'Anytime I saw him, he was always around Elizabeth. Billy was very reclusive on set but he would spend lots of time with Elizabeth Sun source 'They were extremely close. 'I noticed they were getting quite close. 'But he, at the time, was still married to Miley's mum Tish. 'He's quite an oddball. 'A bit strange. 'He had security guards with him at all times. 'And no one else was ever with him.' He added: 'That was the first time they ever met. 'They hugged a few times, but I did not think anything at the time. 'But now that I saw they are dating, I thought maybe that's when it started. 'Billy was very reclusive on set, but he would spend lots of time with Elizabeth. 'They were extremely close considering he was always keeping to himself, always with his security and his manager. 'The only person who was ever really around him was just Elizabeth. 'The rest of the cast was separate. 'It was just Elizabeth and him together.' Last May, the same month Billy filed for divorce from Firerose, Damian revealed that his mum was 'seeing someone'. But he warned: 'We're both quite private. 'I've seen first-hand how devastating relationships in the public eye can become. 'And we've both made a decision that until somebody is incredibly serious, we're not going to speak publicly about who we're seeing.' It would appear that time is now. 11 Liz with her son Damian Credit: Getty

Kanye West Boasts About Attention Wife Bianca Censori Received For Nude Grammys Look
Just days after Ye's wife Bianca Censori vexed the internet with her nearly nude look at the 2025 Grammys, the rapper is relishing in the drama by declaring the Australian model the 'most Googled person on Earth' following their appearance on the event's red carpet. On Tuesday, Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, bragged about the attention Censori garnered online after she dropped her massive fur coat to reveal an outfit that left little to the imagination when the couple strolled onto the red carpet at the Arena in Los Angeles on Feb. 2. 'We beat the Grammies [sic],' Ye wrote in an Instagram Story on Tuesday before adding in a separate story, 'For clarity/February 4th 2025/My wife is the most Googled person on the planet called Earth.' Elsewhere in his Instagram Stories, the musician posted screenshots of Google search analytics, which showed that the term 'Bianca Censori grammys' was searched more than 5 million times on the Google Trends list, making her the No. 1 searched topic at the time, Entertainment Weekly reports. 'The most googled person on earth wearing YZY women's,' Ye wrote in an additional story showing Censori seemingly stretching while wearing a unitard from his Yeezy clothing brand. Despite being the most talked-about — and arguably, most hated — aspect of this year's Grammys, the pair didn't actually attend the ceremony itself. Shortly after snapping pics on the red carpet, Ye and Censori abruptly left, sparking rumors that they had been forcibly removed from the venue. The gossip was further ignited by a report from Entertainment Tonight claiming that the two were escorted out of the Grammys after showing up uninvited. 'ET has learned that the rapper, his wife, and an entourage of about five people showed up to the Grammys uninvited. Kanye walked the red carpet with Bianca, who appeared to be fully naked under her fur coat. ET was told that the couple was then escorted out of the awards show,' the outlet wrote in an Instagram post that appears to have since been deleted, BuzzFeed reported. People and E! News later confirmed that Censori and Ye, who was nominated for Best Rap Song for his 2024 hit 'Carnival,' intentionally got in his car and left the event immediately after walking the red carpet.

What Kanye West told Grammys red carpet staff before Bianca Censori's coat-dropping debut: lip reader
Grammys red carpet staff can't tell him nothing. Kanye West spoke at length to a group of people working the awards show Sunday, according to a video shared by Access Hollywood — and a lip reader is analyzing the exchange. Jeremy Freeman told the Daily Mail Tuesday that the rapper, 47, appeared to be issuing instructions to the individuals surrounding him before his shocking step-and-repeat with wife Bianca Censori. 'Does that make sense?' the Yeezy creator seemingly asked. 'Push that out of the way. … That person right there. 'Push him out. There,' the songwriter continued as he assessed the red carpet. Censori, 30, stood by her husband's side in the footage with an enormous black fur coat wrapped around herself. While the model had the outerwear on when she posed moments later, she then turned around and let her coat slip to the ground. Underneath, Censori was wearing a completely sheer dress. Lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail on Monday that West allegedly told his partner to 'make a scene' and 'drop [her] coat.' While Censori seemingly shook her head multiple times in CBS Mornings' red carpet video, she supposedly replied, 'Alright, let's go.' TMZ reported that the architectural designer will not face legal consequences over the viral moment, which marked her and West's red carpet debut. Grammys executive producer Raj Kapoor told People Tuesday that the Arena event's 'artistic black tie' dress code is 'up for interpretation.' 'Obviously there is a dress code for anybody actually performing on the show that we have to adhere to standards and practices,' he explained. However, Kappor continued, 'As far as people attending and nominees attending, that would be something the [Recording] Academy would have to answer.' As Meghan McCain, Elizabeth Chambers and more celebs have blasted West and expressed concern for Censori, he has only doubled down via Instagram Stories. 'We beat the Grammies [sic],' the record producer gushed to his followers, saying the same to a paparazzo on Tuesday.

Ye Boasts That He & Wife Bianca Censori ‘Beat' the Grammys With Red-Carpet Stunt
Ye says he and his wife Bianca Censori one-upped the Grammys. In since-deleted Instagram posts, Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) shared a screenshot of Google stats that show Censori was searched more than the awards show itself. He then followed that up with a post proclaiming, 'We beat the Grammies [sic]' and another saying, 'For clarity. February 4th 2025. My wife is the most Googled person on the planet called Earth.' More from Billboard Ye Shows What Bianca Censori's Grammys Dress Looks Like Off the Red Carpet Kelly Clarkson Goes '90s With Cover of 'Flagpole Sitta' on 'Kellyoke' Miley Cyrus Thanks Beyoncé After 'II Most Wanted' Grammy Win: 'Love You Forever' Censori wore a controversial, transparent dress under a floor-length fur coat during her red-carpet appearance alongside her husband, causing rumors to swirl that the couple was escorted out of the venue because of it. However, Variety reported that a source close to the Grammys said 'it's not true' and that Ye and his wife 'walked the carpet, got in his car and left.' Ye blamed journalist Don Lemon for starting said rumors, writing in a since-deleted Instagram post, 'This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out of the Grammies 3 decades of innovating music and they always KOONS like this.' But the former CNN host hit back, claiming someone from Ye's team heard the rumors and asked Lemon to set the record straight. 'I did not start a rumor about you being kicked out of the Grammys,' Lemon said in a video posted to Instagram. 'I actually corrected it. I saw someone on your team who asked me to correct it because it had been reported everywhere.' He added: 'So first of all, get your sh– straight. And you, of all people, calling me a coon. Negro, that Make America Great Again hat must be too tight on your head.' Ye has since posted a picture of the dress in question on his Instagram feed with a caption that reads: 'THE INVISIBLE DRESS.'
