Elizabeth Hurley posts sultry image amid rumours of romance with Billy Ray Cyrus

Elizabeth Hurley has posted a jaw-dropping image after seemingly debuting her romance with Billy Ray Cyrus, as the daughter of ex-fiance Shane Warne weighed in.

Loved-up Elizabeth Hurley is on cloud nine after seemingly debuting her surprise romance with country star Billy Ray Cyrus.

The actress even appears to have been given the seal of approval from the daughter of her former fiance, the late cricketing legend Shane Warne.

Hurley took to Instagram to post a sultry snap of herself standing on what appeared to be a deck on a country-style veranda, wearing jeans and a white lace top.

Her post also featured a video of a golf buggy driving on farmland with a US flag flying.

Brooke Warne gave Hurley’s new look the seal of approval amid speculation the bikini designer is dating the father of Grammy winner Miley Cyrus.

“Gorgeous,” Brooke Warne posted, alongside a cowboy emoji.

It came after Hurley revealed her unexpected romance over Easter, sharing a photo of the happy couple with her 3.1 million Instagram followers with the caption: “Happy Easter”.

In the photo, the two appear happy and relaxed as they posed for the camera. Wearing green bunny ears, Cyrus could be seen planting a kiss on a smiling Hurley’s cheek.

Hurley’s only child, model Damian Hurley, gave the post his seal of approval with a love heart emoji.

The couple have history, appearing in the 2022 film Christmas in Paradise, where they played love interests. And earlier this month, Hurley posted a video of herself dancing in her bikini – with one of Cyrus’ songs playing in the background.

One excited fan commented: “So Miley Cyrus could end up with Liz as a step mum … love it!”

Another person added: “What on earth!! When did this happen?”

While someone else wrote: “Wooowww – İs a new love born ??”

Hurley shot to fame as Hugh Grant’s girlfriend in the mid-90s, and she went on to have son Damian in 2002 after a brief relationship with US businessman, Steve Bing.

She married Indian textile heir Arun Nayar in 2007 and they divorced in 2010.

Famously, she dated Warne from 2010 until 2013, and remained close friends with the cricketing superstar until his shock death in 2022.

Cyrus was previously married to Tish but the pair divorced in 2017. The former couple had five children, including pop superstar, Miley, with the country star reportedly estranged from his kids.

More recently, he finalised his divorce from his second wife, Australian musician, Firerose, in August last year.

The couple were married for just seven months before Cyrus filed for divorce.

Firerose (real name is Johanna Rose Hodges) accused Cyrus of “extreme verbal, emotional and psychological abuse”.

She claimed the 63-year-old has substance abuse issues that make him “unpredictable and volatile”.

But other fans of Hurley appeared to caution the star. Under the photo of the reported couple, one user wrote: “Oh, who else totally did not have this one on their 2025 bingo card?” Another person added: “Is anyone else wondering why she’s not seeing the [red flag emoji].” And a third user warned: “You better run girl.”

Cyrus left fans concerned after he performed a shambolic set during Donald Trump’s inauguration earlier this year, which left his son, Trace, pleading with him to get help, saying that he and his siblings were “genuinely worried” about his health.

“Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognise now,” Trace Cyrus wrote on social media. “It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you.

“You may be upset with me for posting this but I really could care less at this point. Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away,” Trace Cyrus wrote.

“You’re not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it. As I write this with tears in my eyes I hope you realise this message only comes from a place of love and also fear that the world may lose you far too soon.”

A Cyrus family source told the New York Post at the time that the country star was “happy and healthy”.

“Praying for my family. For my children … sons and daughters … and their mother,” he added, referring to his ex-wife Tish Cyrus. “Let this moment be the start of healing for us all. ‘The past does not equal the future.’ Amen,” Cyrus wrote on Instagram after his son’s concern.
