Elizabeth Hurley slips into a red bikini, ponders 'helluva few weeks' since Billy Ray Cyrus romance debut
Elizabeth Hurley reflected on a simpler time before she revealed she was dating country music star Billy Ray Cyrus. Hurley, 59, looked completely at ease wearing a skimpy red bikini while strolling the beach in the Maldives. The "Austin Powers" actress shared a few "happy memories" from her tropical getaway where she celebrated her son, Damian Hurley's birthday. "Well…it's been a helluva few weeks since my glorious sojourn in the Maldives, but here are some of my happy memories," Hurley captioned a carousel of images. The "Bedazzled" star slipped into a backless sundress in one snap, and showed off views from her luxurious cabana at the Baglioni Maldives hotel. Hurley and Cyrus, 63, went Instagram-official with their secret relationship on Easter Sunday with a shared photo of the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer kissing his new girlfriend. Days later, the "Rowing with the Wind" actress posted a series of shots from her "Tennessee weekend" with the country star right by her side. Cyrus debuted his new song "Ask (Honor Song)" last week, and told "The Ty Bentli Show" that not only is their blossoming relationship a gift from God, but he's also the happiest he's been in a long time – thanks to his new romance. "It's just been beautiful," Cyrus said, noting there are "no expectations of where we go from here other than her and her son. I do love him a lot, and it's great that God brought them into my life when he did. It's just a good thing. "It's been a long time since I've been this happy." The former co-stars reconnected over text, with Hurley making the first move nearly two years after they worked on the 2022 film "Christmas in Paradise." "We did very few scenes together, but the couple times we were in the same scene, there was a chemistry there that felt … we just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot. And I found out the oddest thing," he said of Hurley. "I've obviously, I know all about her life and career and me, a kid from Flatwoods, Kentucky, going to sit and pretend I'm an actor with Elizabeth Hurley knowing that, wait, how did this happen? And the oddest part was first how much we laughed." Cyrus was in the throes of divorce from his third wife, Firerose, when Hurley contacted him unexpectedly after not communicating for more than two years. "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,'" Cyrus said. "And, in this moment, this hand kind of reached out in a text message, not a physical hand, as in the one you saw in the picture. That'd be good. A friend reached out."

Elizabeth Hurley hints at Billy Ray Cyrus romance with sweet kissing snap
Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley celebrated Easter with a kiss. The "Achy Breaky Heart" singer, 63, cuddled up to Hurley, 59, before planting a kiss on her cheek in a photo shared by the English actress on social media Sunday. She simply captioned the coy snap, "Happy Easter." Cyrus became a single man in August after finalizing his divorce from his third wife, Firerose. The "Austin Powers" actress sported a blue flannel shirt and jeans for the PDA-packed photo in which she tagged Billy Ray. BILLY RAY CYRUS IS 'PRAYING FOR HIS FAMILY' AFTER SON SAID STAR 'SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF' Her son, model and actor Damian Hurley, showed support for his mom with heart and celebration emojis posted in the comments. Hurley was previously married to Arun Nayar for three years, before their divorce in 2010. Representatives for Hurley and Cyrus did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. She dated Damian's father, late businessman Steve Bing, for years, and was in a 13-year romance with Hugh Grant after initially meeting on the set of "Rowing with the Wind" in 1987. They withstood a cheating scandal and Grant's arrest for soliciting a sex worker in 1995, before breaking up in 2000. Grant is Damian's godfather. Billy Ray and his ex-wife were married for seven months before he petitioned for an annulment on the grounds of "inappropriate marital conduct," according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital. "Husband and wife acknowledge and agree that this is a marriage of extremely short duration and neither party has any marital interest in any real property owned by the other party prior to the marriage," according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. Neither party was awarded alimony, and both parties agreed there are no jointly listed retirement assets. "Further, a couple of weeks ago, prior to mediation, Ms. Hodges legally changed her last name from 'Hodges' to 'Cyrus'. Mr. Cyrus feels that this validates his assertion that his ex-wife's sole impetus for marrying him was to obtain his last name," the statement continued. Billy Ray stated at the time, "I'm just very relieved… and giving thanks today to breathe a sigh of relief. This has been absolutely the most crazy insane scam I have ever heard of. Let alone the fact I'm right in the center and basically the target of the scheme. It's unfortunate… it played out this way … not only was it a web of lies that put me in physical danger …. It was a matter of the heart. Love is blind … that's for sure." Cyrus and Firerose, whose full name is Johanna Rosie Hodges, announced their engagement in November 2022 and married on his ranch on Oct. 10, 2023. Billy Ray has been married three times. He married Tish Cyrus in 1992, and adopted her children, Trace, and his older sister, Brandi, at the time. Tish and Billy Ray later welcomed children Miley Cyrus, Braison Cyrus and Noah Cyrus before their divorce in 2022. The singer is also father to Christopher Cyrus with ex-girlfriend Kristin Luckey.
