The Genesis of a Romance: Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus
Though they appeared together in the 2022 movie “Christmas in Paradise,” fans hadn’t foreseen a romantic link, despite whispers of a connection on set. Yet, Billy Ray was married then and has since experienced two divorces. The image Liz shared on Sunday, revealing the relationship, was reportedly taken at her extensive farm in Herefordshire, with Damian behind the camera.
Damian Hurley’s Influence
According to a source, Damian’s increasing independence and departure from the home he shared with his mom facilitated Liz’s developing relationship with the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer.
- “The new relationship is filling a void because Damian has moved out,” the insider told the MailOnline.
- “He’s got his own place in Earl’s Court [west London] so although they still see each other a lot and are really close, it’s not just the two of them at home any more.”
The Early Stages of Courtship
The source also asserted that Liz is relishing the attention from her new boyfriend, who has been showering her with affection. “It only really took off about six weeks ago, although he was texting her a lot before then, I guess for a few months before.”
“He has been writing her the most beautiful texts three or four times a day. She says they are almost like poetry, saying how beautiful and young and sexy she is.”
