Elizabeth Hurley Confirms She’s Dating and Preparing to Marry Miley Cyrus’ Father – Billy Ray Cyrus
Just 30 minutes ago, the news that actress Elizabeth Hurley officially confirmed her relationship with country singer Billy Ray Cyrus – father of pop superstar Miley Cyrus – made social media “explode”. Not only did she confirm that she was in love, Elizabeth also revealed that the two were engaged and would be getting married in the near future.
In an exclusive interview with a leading entertainment magazine, Elizabeth Hurley – who was once a British sex symbol and became famous through the movie Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery – shared:
“We’re not hiding it anymore. Billy is the man who makes me feel safe, loved and truly happy. We’re engaged and are planning a small, intimate wedding, possibly in Tennessee or at a villa in England.”
Billy Ray Cyrus, 62, is famous for his song Achy Breaky Heart and is the father of Miley Cyrus – the star who caused a stir with a series of hits such as Wrecking Ball or Flowers. In recent years, Billy has attracted attention when he divorced his ex-wife, Tish Cyrus, who later remarried Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell. After the divorce, many rumors surrounded Billy Ray’s love life, but no one expected the woman who captured his heart to be Elizabeth Hurley – a British beauty icon, who is now 58 years old but is still as charming as in her prime.
It is worth noting that the cultural and style differences between the couple have caused much controversy. While Billy Ray is associated with the image of a Southern cowboy in America, Elizabeth Hurley represents the elegance and glamour of European cinema. However, both seem to have found common ground in their old age, having experienced many ups and downs in life.
However, what the public is most interested in is the reaction of Miley Cyrus – Billy Ray’s biological daughter. Up to now, the relationship between Miley and her father has not been very smooth, especially after her parents’ divorce. Miley even unfollowed Billy Ray on Instagram and hinted many times about the “unhealed hurt” from her family.
Currently, Miley has not given any response to the engagement news between her father and Elizabeth Hurley. However, some fans are concerned that this could further distance the father and daughter. A comment on Twitter said: “Miley will not be happy. Her father just went public with another relationship just a few years after the divorce. Has he ever thought about his daughter’s feelings?”
Meanwhile, some other opinions expressed support for the couple: “Love knows no nationality or age. If they are happy, we should congratulate them instead of judging them.”
As of now, the wedding date between Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley has not been set, but sources close to the couple say that they are very excited and have started to draw up the guest list.
Will the “cross-continental” love affair between the American country music icon and the British movie star have a happy ending? Or is this just the beginning of a new series of family disputes? The public is eagerly following the next developments of this story that seems to only happen in Hollywood movies.
