Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley Reportedly Engaged
Page Six cites unnamed sources, TMZ got no reply from the couple's representatives, and Hurley posted a selfie showing a large diamond ring.
Billy Ray Cyrus (65) and Elizabeth Hurley (61) are reportedly engaged, according to Page Six, which cites unnamed sources. Per the outlet, the country singer got down on one knee and proposed to the actress, and she said yes. The couple has not commented publicly.
TMZ asked representatives for both for comment and had received no reply by the time its own story ran. It is not known when or where Cyrus popped the question, and no wedding date has been announced.
What is known, and what is not confirmed?
For now, the engagement rests on Page Six’s report and on social media traces. On Monday, Hurley posted a selfie showing a large diamond ring. The Nightly says the ring is on her index finger, while TMZ describes it only as being “on that finger,” so the sources do not line up here.
On Thursday, Cyrus posted a ring emoji on Instagram, in a post promoting his new single “Party’s in the Back” and a show with NASCAR in Phoenix. Hurley’s son Damian left a celebratory emoji, 🥳, under Cyrus’s post. In the post, Cyrus wrote:
“This is the most fertile solid ground I have stood on in a long time.”
Later in the same post, as reported by The Nightly, he added:
“I like seeing peoples dreams come true. I’m so excited for the show this weekend teaming up with NASCAR in Phoenix !!! Kinda has a ring 💍 to it.”
The line with the emoji is about the Phoenix show. It does not mention an engagement.
The Nightly also reports that Damian Hurley left the comment “SO EXCITED” with several hearts, but does not say under which post. Novosti writes only that Hurley’s son reacted with enthusiasm to Cyrus’s post.
One of the sources who spoke to Page Six dismissed the idea that the ring is a prop from a film set. Hurley is currently filming the series The ‘Burbs, and the source said:
“She’s filming ‘The ‘Burbs’; I hardly think this ring is a prop.”
How did Cyrus and Hurley meet?
They met in 2022 on the set of the film “Christmas in Paradise.” The Nightly reports that they grew close again in February 2025 and made the relationship public at Easter 2025. That puts them at a little over a year together.
Earlier this month, Hurley told SheerLuxe about the difference others see between them:
“We have the same hair. Identical hair. Apart from his beard, we’re actually like twins.”
In June, Cyrus told People magazine that the difference between them had caught the attention of other people, and of the two of them as well:
“There was something in the opposites of us, I think, that maybe not only got other people’s attention but even our own.”
The magazine also reported at the time that the couple likes to spend time in the countryside, watching birds, sitting by the fire and doing yard work with power tools.
How many marriages are behind them?
If a wedding happens, it would be Cyrus’s fourth marriage and Hurley’s second.
- Cyrus was married to Cindy Smith from 1986 to 1991
- he was married to Tish Cyrus from 1993, and sources differ on when it ended: Novosti say 2022, The Nightly says 2023
- he wed Firerose in October 2023, and that marriage ended in 2024
- Hurley was married to Indian businessman Arun Nayar from 2007 to 2011, and afterward was engaged to Australian cricketer Shane Warne, from 2011 to 2013
Whether the couple will confirm the engagement and announce a wedding date is not yet known.
