Billy Ray Cyrus Gushes Over Elizabeth Hurley Romance, Says She Makes Him Happy

Elizabeth Hurley seems to have cured Billy Ray Cyrus‘ achy breaky heart … because he says he’s the happiest he’s been in a long time, thanks to their new romance.

The country crooner opens up about their “beautiful” relationship — which went Instagram official Sunday — on Friday’s episode of “The Ty Bentli Show” … and he even gushes about her model son, Damian.

He notes … “I do love him a lot, and it’s great that God brought them into my life when he did. It’s just a good thing.”

Billy also reveals the flame ignited after the British actress and supermodel reached out to him amid his turbulent 2024 split from his ex-wife, Firerose, to let him know he’s “got a friend” in his corner. Billy was also previously married to Tish Cyrus for 28 years before divorcing in 2022.

He says the text could not have come at a better time because he was feeling really down in the dumps, like he couldn’t get “knocked down any flatter.”

Even sweeter, the “Old Town Road” hitmaker says Elizabeth — who he met while filming “Christmas in Paradise” in 2022 — is “impressively brilliant” and reminds her of his close family friend, Dolly Parton.

Most importantly, BRC says his better half makes him laugh, adding … “If you can laugh together, you can make it through everything.”
