Elizabeth Hurley has announced an exciting new chapter in her romantic life, revealing that she and singer Billy Ray Cyrus are set to cohabit while she works in Los Angeles this winter.

Hurley, 61, is preparing to film the second season of her show, The ‘Burbs, and while she has fond memories of winter spent at her charming English countryside home, she is eager for this unique living arrangement. “I live full-time in the country. I only visit London when I have to,” she explained, reflecting on her love for snuggling by the fire and the early nights characteristic of winter. “My boyfriend goes to bed extremely early,” she added, highlighting their shared preference for early nights.
The couple is navigating a long-distance relationship, with Cyrus residing in Tennessee on his farm. However, Hurley noted that he has taken a liking to the English countryside. “He really loves it,” she said, explaining that Cyrus had not spent much time in England prior to their relationship. “He spent most of the summer here last year and loves it. The beautiful air and stunning countryside are a refreshing change for him.”
Hurley’s affection for her homeland is clear, yet she is ready to embrace the sunny climate of California. Cyrus, who grew up in Kentucky and currently resides in Tennessee, appreciates the cooler temperatures and picturesque scenery that England offers, particularly compared to the sweltering heat and humidity of his home state.
Their relationship blossomed on the set of the 2022 holiday film Christmas in Paradise, and the couple made their romance public in Easter 2025. Despite their differing homes, they have successfully balanced their lives between Hurley’s estate and Cyrus’s farm. “We split our time between Billy’s farm in Tennessee and my country house in England,” Hurley revealed in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. “We both love the countryside, where I’m usually wielding power tools in the garden whilst Billy strums his guitar under a tree.”
The couple’s commitment to one another has sparked speculation about a possible engagement. Earlier this month, Hurley shared a photograph on Instagram, showing a diamond ring on her left hand while on the set of The ‘Burbs. This led to further conjecture when Cyrus posted a selfie that featured a reference to engagement; he captioned it with a diamond ring emoji.
Cyrus, who is 65, has experienced his own significant life changes, having recently ended his marriage with Tish Cyrus, with whom he shares five children, including prominent figures such as Miley Cyrus. Hurley, for her part, is a mother to 24-year-old Damian, whom she shares with her late ex-partner, Steve Bing.
While Cyrus had not ventured internationally for five years before his relationship with Hurley, he described the experience as “the craziest thing” he has done but one that he felt compelled to take. Their relationship, now thriving amid the challenges of distance, has become increasingly grounded as they explore life together both in Tennessee and the English countryside.
As they look ahead, the prospect of time spent in California is welcomed by both, marking another significant moment in their evolving relationship. Fans are excited to follow along as this high-profile couple navigates their next steps, whether living together in Los Angeles this winter or spending blissful days on the serene English countryside. The journey appears promising, with Hurley and Cyrus keen to embrace whatever lies ahead, together.
