Elizabeth Hurley has opened up about her budding relationship with Billy Ray Cyrus and spending time with his daughters, months after their romance was confirmed.
The news that the couple were dating first came to light in April after a photo of them kissing was shared on social media over Easter weekend.
Since then, Elizabeth, 60, and Billy Ray, 63, have looked increasingly loved-up, with the former revealing she’s ‘in love’ as she celebrated her milestone birthday.
Last night, they both attended the premiere of Channel 4’s upcoming gameshow The Inheritance, where Metro had the chance to speak to the Gossip Girl star.
‘I was thrilled that he could come here with me,’ Elizabeth told us after posing with Billy Ray for photographers.
The actress, who plays ‘The Deceased’ in The Inheritance, shared that she’s recently spent quality time with her partner’s daughters Miley Cyrus and Noah Cyrus, as they were both performing in London.
‘We’ve had most of the summer off. We’ve seen both his daughters play in London, ironically, which is great, and we spent a lot of time with my son,’ she said, referring to her son Damian Hurley.
‘But this is actually the first business thing he’s come to with me, and it’s been great to have him here. Really nice.’
At last night’s premiere for The Inheritance, Elizabeth struck a contrast with Billy Ray on the red carpet, opting for a crimson dress while he wore an all-black ensemble.
A week ago, she shared a post on Instagram comparing two tortoises that they found while hanging out in Tennessee and Herefordshire, as they travel between the US and the UK during their relationship.
In May this year, Elizabeth told E! News how ‘unexpected’ their romance had been, stating: ‘But we’re very happy together. And hopefully we’ll have a great life.’
They originally met on the set of the 2022 film Christmas in Paradise, which also starred Kelsey Grammer, Nathalie Cox and Naomi Ferderick.
‘We did very few scenes together but the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry there,’ Billy Ray told The Ty Bentli Show on Apple Music in April.
‘We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn’t laughing a lot.’
The country music star added that while he acknowledged how ‘different’ they were, they also found that they ‘had way more in common than we had different’.
In June, Elizabeth posted a picture on Instagram of her son Damian, 23, and Billy Ray’s daughter Miley, 32, at the London premiere of the latter’s film Something Beautiful, writing in her caption: ‘The babies are all grown up ❤️.’
Earlier that month, Billy Ray described Elizabeth as ‘the love of my love’ when he posted on Instagram in honour of her 60th birthday.
Elizabeth has one child, Damian, who she shares with businessman Steve Bing. She was married to businessman Arun Nayar from 2007 until 2010, and previously had high-profile relationships with Hugh Grant and the late Shane Warne.
Billy Ray has six children, including Christopher Cyrus, who he shares with Kristin Luckey.
The musician and Tish Finley (now Cyrus-Purcell) share daughters Miley and Noah together, as well as a son called Braison. Billy Ray also adopted Tish’s children from a previous relationship, Brandi Cyrus and Trace Cyrus.
