She has a history of dating troubled men – but Elizabeth Hurley seems convinced her newest beau is capable of change.

On Easter Sunday, the English actress went public with new love Billy Ray Cyrus – dad to chart-topping popstar Miley Cyrus and her singer sister Noah Cyrus – sharing a single picture of the two cuddling up together as country star Billy Ray planted a kiss on her cheek.

“Happy Easter,” she captioned the shot, leaving her comments section to erupt in shock. “Damn did all the other single men on earth die or what,” one wrote. “Is anyone else wondering why she’s not seeing the [red flag emojis],” said another.

A third commented: “Yikes. Did she not listen to the abusive phone calls? He left his ex? How about the way he treats his children? Girl… There are 1 billion other men on this planet and this is what you chose? ” And a fourth said: “Nooo! ! Just nooo! Run Elizabeth. “

The pair have known each other since they starred in the romantic lead roles for Christmas In Paradise back in 2022, and were in contact last year when Billy Ray’s marriage to third wife Firerose broke down, amid accusations of abuse – which Billy Ray denies.

The family rift between dad Billy Ray, 63, and his famous daughters has only widened after the Achy Breaky Heart singer was caught on camera calling Miley a “devil skank”. But pals claim Elizabeth, 59, feels she can help Billy Ray patch up his tumultuous relationships with Miley and Noah by modelling her own special relationship with son Damian, 23.

“He has had a really hard time, but she has been there helping him turn things around,” a source told the Sun. “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. “

While Elizabeth’s model son Damian liked her Instagram post with two happy emojis, none of Billy Ray’s six children have acknowledged his new relationship publicly.

The Cyrus family splintered in 2022 when Billy Ray announced he and Tish Cyrus – mother to Miley – were divorcing after 29 years together. Months later he revealed his engagement to Australian singer Firerose – real name Johanna Rosie Scholem – who at 36 is only five years older than Miley.

Their torrid marriage came to an end just seven months after they tied the knot, with both accusing the other of verbal and emotional abuse. In leaked audio footage obtained by TMZ, Billy Ray allegedly directed a foul-mouthed rant towards his third wife after he was late to go on stage for a gig.

In the clip, he is heard fuming: ‘If you had just left it the f**k alone, now I’m really f**king p***ed, once again showing you will not listen.

“I don’t know who the f**k you think you are, but you will not listen… this ain’t about nothing, this is about you being a selfish f**king b***h,” he adds as Firerose begs him to “please stop shouting”.

A further clip shows Billy Ray reportedly speaking of daughter Miley: “Everyone knows that devil’s a skank.” Since then, the country singer has been making public posts praising both of his estranged daughters. In one posted on March 25 this year, he shared an image of them both, captioning it: “Holy s**t . I seldom ever swear in my post but this deserves one! You are witnessing in real time what it feels like for a Dad who with in less than one weeks 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. “

And according to a source, his olive branch could be thanks to new girlfriend Elizabeth, who often sings her son’s praises across social media. “Liz has been encouraging him to mend his fractured relationship with his daughter Miley, as well as his other children,” said a pal. “Her closeness with Damian is inspiring. “
