Elizabeth Hurley Describes Billy Ray Cyrus as a ‘Wonderful Person’ Amid Romance: ‘We’re Very Happy’

Elizabeth Hurley has anything but an achy breaky heart when it comes to Billy Ray Cyrus, with whom she said she’s “very happy” in a new interview.

While walking the red carpet for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s 2025 Hot Pink Party Tuesday (May 13), the actress looked slightly caught off guard when Entertainment Tonight asked about her connection with the country star — but that didn’t stop her from gushing about her new sweetheart.

“Billy’s a very, very fabulous person,” she told the outlet. “He’s a very gentle man, very nice.”

Smiling, Hurley added, “We’re very happy.”

The comments come nearly a month after the British model and Cyrus debuted their romance on Instagram, celebrating Easter by posting a photo of a sweet kiss they shared outdoors. Both parties have since shared more PDA-filled snaps with each other on the app, and two days prior to the BCRF event, the Hannah Montana actor praised Hurley’s performance in Bryan Adams’ new “Never Ever Let You Go” music video.

“I should be jealous, but WOW !!!!!!” he wrote on Instagram. “Congratulations @bryanadams for your great new video with my beautiful girlfriend @elizabethhurley1.”

Of getting Cyrus’ seal of approval on the video, Hurley told ET, “It’s fabulous.”

“It’s very nice when people close around you are happy for you when you do well,” she added.

The couple’s romance comes about three years after they filmed Netflix’s Christmas in Paradise together. The two stars reconnected this year when Hurley reached out to Cyrus via text, something he recounted on Apple Music’s The Ty Bentli Show in April.

“She’s so impressively brilliant,” he said of Hurley at the time. “She reminds me a lot of Dolly Parton. She’s a very smart businesswoman. If you can laugh together, you can make it through everything.”
