Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley turned heads during their latest show-stopping red carpet outing.

Cyrus, 64, and Hurley, 60, stepped out in style at the 2026 Olivier Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Sunday, April 12. The country singer sported a black suit with a charcoal-colored patterned scarf, complementing Hurley’s plunging white Zuhair Murad gown.

Cyrus and the actress have been together since 2025, confirming their relationship last year on Easter Sunday.

“They’re solid, spending time together in L.A.,” a source exclusively told Luxury Handbag Shopping in March. “[They are] very much in sync.”

Cyrus and Hurley first met filming Netflix’s Christmas in Paradise in 2022.

“We did a film two years ago down in the Caribbean, and we did very few scenes together, but the couple times we were in the same scene, there was a chemistry there that [I] felt,” Cyrus said on Apple Music’s Ty Bentli Show in April 2025. “We just laughed, and it was at a time [when] I wasn’t laughing a lot and I found that the oddest thing.”

Cyrus and Hurley lost touch after production wrapped, reuniting in 2024 amid the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer’s divorce from Firerose.

“It was this evolution that some might’ve looked at and certainly I felt like, ‘Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher for me?’” Cyrus recalled to host Ty Bentli. “At a certain point, it was like, ‘You can’t get knocked down any flatter than lying on your back when life is kicking you in the gut.’”

According to Cyrus, Hurley sent a purely friendly text message once she heard about his divorce. (Cyrus and Firerose, 37, were married from October 2023 to May 2024.)

“I didn’t even know the number, and it’s like, ‘Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I’m in your corner. You got a friend in your corner,’” Cyrus recalled, gushing that Hurley is a “great human being” and “impressively brilliant.”

Cyrus and Hurley’s platonic relationship eventually turned romantic once the pair discovered their many core commonalities.

“I think people found Billy and I being together a little surprising,” Hurley told reporters in May 2025. “It’s not surprising to me because we’re actually quite similar and get on extremely well. There has been quite a reaction. … We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country. And we both love country music, both love movies. We’ve got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely.”

According to Hurley, she and Cyrus especially bonded over being single parents. Hurley is mom of son Damien, 24, while the Hannah Montana alum is a father of six. Billy Ray shares Brandi, Trace, Miley, Braison and Noah with ex-wife Tish Cyrus, as well as son Christopher with ex Kristin Luckey.
