    Watch: Elizabeth Hurley Details Meeting Billy Ray Cyrus’ Daughter Miley Cyrus

    Elizabeth Hurley is strictly confident about her relationship with Billy Ray Cyrus.

    In fact, the Strictly Confidential actress is so certain about their romance that she’s ready for an extended stay together while she works on her next project.

    As Hurley explained on the Oct. 23 episode of the Off Air with Jane & Fi podcast, as she films the upcoming season of The ‘Burbs in Los Angeles, Cyrus is going to join her, noting, “Yeah, we’re going to live together out there.”

    Since going public with their romance in April 2025, the pair have lived separately, with the Austin Powers alum staying full-time in the English countryside and the Hannah Montana star calling his Nashville-area farm his home base.

    That said, the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer has prioritized spending time across the pond with his love, with Hurley detailing how much Cyrus “really loves” his U.K. visits.

    “He never spent any time here, just briefly on tour and stuff,” she explained. “He spent most of the summer here last year, and on and off we were here this summer—we had to go to America quite a bit—and he loves it. Absolutely adores it.”

    As for why Hurley believes the dad of six’s achy breaky heart fell in love with the English countryside?

    “He grew up in Kentucky but lives in Tennessee, and their summers are pretty brutal compared to ours,” she shared. “They’re very hot and very humid and it rains a lot—so, for him to have our beautiful air and just the beauty of our countryside, I think is beautiful for him.”

    Plus, Hurley—mom to son Damian Hurley, 24, with late ex Steve Bing—has previously detailed how their compatible living styles is part of what makes their relationship work so well.

    “We’re really enjoying trying to get this balance between America and the UK,” she told E! News in July. “The good thing is that he’s very country where he is in Tennessee. I’m very country where I am. And that’s a really important thing in our relationship that neither of us want to be out and about.”

    Instead, they would rather be “at home in the country and snuggling up and doing a lot of things with nature.”

    “Nobody would look at either of us and think that’s who we were, but we are,” she continued. “And I love it. I love gardening. He loves being outside in nature. We both love watching birds of prey. It’s a really lovely life.”

    Hugh GrantElizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant were both up-and-comers when they met making the 1988 Spanish film Rowing With the Wind, in which Grant portrayed Romantic icon Lord Byron.”Hugh did look particularly fine in those cream britches,” Hurley jested in an interview. “But I think I might have liked him anyway. There was an instant rapport. He made me laugh.”The longtime couple seemingly shot to global stardom simultaneously, Grant for his breakout performance in 1994’s Four Weddings and a Funeral and Hurley, by then a major model, for the still-iconic Versace safety-pin gown she wore to the film’s London premiere.So wasn’t the globe shocked when Grant was arrested in June 1995 for lewd conduct with a prostitute (and later was sentenced to two years’ unsupervised probation after pleading no contest), and his publicity tour for the warm ‘n’ fuzzy rom-com Nine Months turned into an apology odyssey?But Hurley stood by him, including at the film’s premiere—”She has been real supportive and we’re going to try and work it out,” Grant said on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno—and they ultimately stayed together until 2000.”I loved everything I was doing, and I think I just sort of, you know—you know, I’ve got great friends, great family,” Hurley said on Larry King Live in 2000, reflecting on how she fluourished post-scandal. “And so, you know, everything turned out OK in the end.”
