Elizabeth Hurley on Prioritizing Her Health as a Woman and Enjoying the 'Casual Easy Things' in Life with New Beau Billy Ray Cyrus
Elizabeth Hurley, Global Ambassador of The Estée Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Campaign served as host for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) annual Hot Pink Party at The Glasshouse in New York City last night. The evening raised over $11 million-a new record for the Foundation-to support BCRF's global legion of 260 scientists pursuing high-impact, lifesaving breast cancer research. Also in attendance, Hurley's son Damian Hurley, fashion designer Vera Wang, actress Nia Long, ballerina Misty Copeland, and former Bachelorette star Katie Thurston who revealed earlier this year that she was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. Later in the evening, 17-time Grammy Award winning artist Sting took the stage to perform his classics including 'Every Breath You Take,' 'Fields of Gold,' 'Englishman in New York,' and more. In the 30 years since BCRF's founding, breast cancer mortality rates have declined by 44%, and a recent study by the American Association for Cancer Research revealed an 80% reduction in breast cancer deaths among women 20-49 over a decade. Hurley who has been working with the organization since the beginning told us, 'I've really learned how vital it is for women to look after themselves, look after their health. Particularly to be breast aware.' How does she do that in her own life? The stunning 59-year-old says it's important to de-stress, keep your food as pure as you can, drink lots of water, and self-check your breasts and go to the doctor the minute you notice any changes. And of course, we had to ask how she has been spending time with new boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus. 'We both love the countryside so whether we're in Tennessee or soon going to be England we like to be outside a lot with the dogs in nature ... sort of casual easy things,' she explained.
