Billy Rae Cyrus and Liz Hurley initially sparked a stir when they went public, but a source claims that the model is assisting her country singer boyfriend in his recovery.
Elizabeth Hurley and her country legend beau Billy Ray Cyrus have been cosying up at glamorous events since going public in April – but their romance runs far deeper than red carpet appearances together, a source close to Liz has claimed to OK!.
They told OK! that Liz, 60, is also helping mend the 63-year-old singer’s heartache, by gently encouraging him to fix his fractured relationships with his children, including singers Miley and Noah, after he “pushed them all away”.

According to the source, “Liz is the love of Billy Ray’s life – that’s what he calls her.” “Her friends claim that she has never been happier and that she believes she can completely transform his life.” He has seen how close she is to Damian, his son, and how she is supporting him in those sometimes difficult relationships with his daughter and the rest of the family.
She’s helping him reconnect with his family and mend those relationships. She knows how important it is, as she’s very close with Damian and she wants the same for Billy Ray. They’re stronger than ever – he’s fallen for her in every possible way. She’s hoping she will be the guiding light and bring out the best in him.”
Billy Ray, the drummer for the Achy Breaky Hearts, praised Liz as “a great person” and said she had helped him find joy. The couple has attended a number of well-known events, including the Orizzonti/Rosso exhibition in Rome and various fundraising galas in London.
They sent shockwaves through the showbiz world when they went public in April, following one of the most difficult chapters in Billy Ray’s life.
The American singer had been dealing with the aftermath of his split from his second wife, Tish, who he had been married to for 30 years in 2022. He married his third wife Firerose in 2023 and divorced her in 2024 after that.
There were rumours of tension, following his split from Tish, among his six children – Miley, Noah and Braison (who he had with Tish), Brandi and Trace (who he adopted during his marriage to their mother, Tish) and Christopher (who he had with former girlfriend Kristin Luckey).
Trace, 36, posted an open letter to his dad on Instagram in January to say the family were “genuinely worried” about him. He wrote, “Since my earliest memories, all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever. I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life.
Unfortunately, I hardly recognize the man I so desperately desired to be. Everyone but you seems to have seen how you have been defeated by this world. I apologize for posting this, but I really couldn’t care less. You’ve pushed all of us away, despite the fact that we have been deeply concerned about you for years.
While Miley didn’t respond to her brother’s statement, there were rumours she had fallen out with her dad too. However, since Billy Ray started dating Liz, the family appear to be coming back together. The pair headed out to support Miley at the premiere of her new film Something Beautiful in London last month.
Our source claimed that Billy Ray had been on the wrong path and had previously struggled with hitting the bottle. Liz strives to help him in every way possible, from his family to his health, by being very fit, super into what she eats, and super into what she eats.
Billy Ray and Liz’s friendship began when they filmed the 2022 festive flick Christmas In Paradise together. Billy Ray previously revealed that Liz had contacted him while he was experiencing difficulties in his personal life, which became the trigger for their romance.
Billy Ray, who appeared on The Ty Bentli Show on Apple Music Country, recalled, “I was like, Wow, can life get any harder? Is it even tougher? You can’t get knocked down any flatter than lying on your back when life is kicking you, in my opinion. And a friend reached out at this point.
Billy Ray claimed that Liz’s message read, “Hey, it seems like life might be a little tough, and I just wanted to let you know that I’m in your corner – you’ve got a friend in your corner.”
Billy explained that he had lost Liz’s phone number and was confused by who was responsible for the message. “So I texted you, “Who is this?” And it’s similar to Elizabeth Hurley. Among all the people who contacted me in that second, perhaps this friend who made me laugh, came closest.
