Elizabeth Hurley plans to introduce Billy Ray Cyrus to her family on her birthday.
Elizabeth Hurley is dating Billy Ray Cyrus
The ‘Bedazzled’ star – who has 23-year-old son Damian from a previous relationship – shocked fans last month when she announced she was dating the ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ hitmaker and she’s now revealed he will be flying over to the UK in June to be part of her 60th birthday celebrations.
She told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “I am looking forward to celebrating with Billy Ray.
“He should be in England for my birthday. He’ll be meeting my family – and my dogs – and hopefully, it’ll be lovely.”
Elizabeth isn’t too worried about hitting 60 because she always enjoys her birthdays, but even more so when she reaches a milestone age.
She said: “I love every birthday. I always get overexcited if it’s a big birthday – I think people are even nicer to you, maybe give you more presents, more flowers, and generally spoil you more. I welcome it.”
The ‘Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery’ star’s comments come after 63-year-old musician Billy praised Elizabeth as a “great human being”.
He recently told their romance has evolved, recalling how they met while filming 2022’s ‘Christmas in Paradise’ movie.
In a clip from ‘The Ty Bentli Show’, Billy Ray said: “We did very few scenes together but the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry there. We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn’t laughing a lot.
“The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different.
“If all we ever were [is] the friends that we are, I would take that. She’s so impressively brilliant. 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.”
While the pair met on the movie set, they didn’t speak to each other for two years after shooting the film.
But Elizabeth re-entered Billy Ray’s life when he needed a friend, following his split from wife Firerose.
He shared: “I felt like, ‘Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?’ For me, at a certain point it was like, you can’t get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you. And in this moment … a friend reached out.”
Billy didn’t recognise the number at first, so he text Elizabeth back.
He recalled: “I text back, I go, ‘Who is this?’ And it’s like, ‘Elizabeth Hurley.’ Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most … this friend who made me laugh.”
