Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus has proposed to actress Elizabeth Hurley after more than a year of dating.

Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, 65, has proposed to actress Elizabeth Hurley, 61, after more than a year of dating. The couple met on the set of their 2022 film Christmas in Paradise, reconnected in February 2025, and went public with their relationship on Easter Sunday that year.

Hurley sparked engagement rumours by posting an Instagram selfie showing a large diamond ring on her ring finger. A source told Page Six: 'She's filming 'The 'Burbs'; I hardly think this ring is a prop.' Cyrus confirmed the engagement by posting a cryptic ring emoji to Instagram, writing: 'This is the most fertile solid ground I have stood on in a long time. Kinda has a ring 💍 to it.'

This will be Cyrus's fourth marriage. He was previously married to Cindy Smith from 1986 to 1991, Tish Cyrus from 1993 to 2023, and Firerose in 2023, with that marriage ending in 2024. Hurley was previously in a long-term relationship with Hugh Grant and was married to Arun Nayar from 2007 to 2011. She was also engaged to Australian cricketer Shane Warne from 2011 to 2013.
