Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley are engaged after more than a year of dating.

The actress, according to Page Six, has accepted the country star's proposal. Details about when and where the proposal happened have not been disclosed.

Billy Ray Cyrus fueled engagement speculation Thursday when he included a ring emoji in an Instagram post. Elizabeth Hurley’s son responded with a celebratory emoji in the comments.

“This is the most fertile solid ground I have stood on in a long time,

Elizabeth Hurley also shared a selfie on Monday, showing a diamond ring on her ring finger.

The pair went public with their romance on Easter Sunday in 2025. They first met several years earlier while filming the holiday movie Christmas in Paradise.

The reported engagement marks another major milestone for the couple, who have largely kept details of their relationship private.

If they marry, it would be the fourth marriage for Billy Ray Cyrus and the second for Elizabeth Hurley.


Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley’s previous relationships

Billy Ray Cyrus was previously married to Cindy Smith, Tish Cyrus, and Firerose.

He shares three children with Tish: Miley Cyrus, Noah Cyrus, and Braison Cyrus.

He also has a son, Christopher Cody Cyrus, from his previous relationship with ex-girlfriend Kristin Luckey.

His marriage to Firerose ended in divorce in 2024, with the Australian singer-songwriter accusing him of abuse. In a tell-all conversation with Page Six, she alleged that Cyrus:

“physically, strategically, and emotionally completely isolated [me] from everyone who cared about me.”

She added:

“I call it farm prison, because that’s what it was for me. I was for years not allowed to freely come and go from my own home.”

The singer went on to say that Cyrus had required her to follow certain rules, adding:

“It happens gradually … this is what your life is going to be. I didn’t have a car and I wasn’t allowed to just meet friends for coffee, just basic things, go to church or record music, solo music.”

Cyrus didn’t respond to the allegations, although an insider reported that Firerose’s statements were a “cry for attention.”

“This is Firerose trying to ruin Billy Ray’s name and it’s really hurtful. Billy Ray has never said one thing about her on the record ever … And she willingly moved in with Billy Ray.”

Meanwhile, Elizabeth Hurley was previously married to businessman Arun Nayar, with their divorce finalized in 2011. She was also in a long-term relationship with actor Hugh Grant from 1987 to 2000.

She shares her son, Damian, with late actor Steve Bing. They dated in 2000.
