Billy Ray Cyrus Reportedly 'Desperate' For 'A New Version' Of Family With Elizabeth Hurley
Billy Ray Cyrus' blossoming relationship with Elizabeth Hurley has motivated him to fix the broken bond within his family.
The Country singer has repeatedly made waves for his estranged relationship with some of his children, especially his famous daughter Miley Cyrus. Now, he is reportedly more inclined to rekindle their relationship thanks to his new girlfriend.
Billy Ray Cyrus welcomed Miley and her younger siblings, Noah and Braison Cyrus, during his marriage to Tish Cyrus. The former couple's relationship experienced many ups and downs, including multiple divorce filings, before they finally separated in 2022.
Love has reportedly changed Billy Ray in more ways than one, as a source recently claimed he wishes to introduce his new lover to his family. They noted he was head over heels for Hurley and believed his children would love her too.
Billy Ray, per the insider, saw Hurley as his good luck charm and suspected that she could be the bridge to rekindling his relationship with his estranged family. "He's had a huge turnaround when it comes to his mistake of a marriage and has admitted he should have listened to Miley," the source revealed.
They told In Touch that Billy Ray had learned from his mistakes and was willing to swallow his pride if it meant Miley would forgive him. The same applied to Tish and her new husband, Dominic Purcell, with the insider noting the country singer was ready to apologize for any grief he had caused.
Billy Ray's complete 180 seemed linked to his romance with Hurley as he wished to enjoy his new relationship while building a stronger bond with his family. The source stressed that he would do whatever was necessary to fix his mistakes and earn his loved ones' forgiveness, saying:
"He isn't trying to go backwards, but he's hoping and praying that they can have a new beginning and a new version of their family."
While his relationship with Miley has become estranged, Billy Ray has a good relationship with his other children. "Noah and Braison are still speaking to him, so he's counting his lucky stars that he at least has two kids that don't hate him," the insider added.
Days before a source shared Billy Ray's desperate attempts to reunite with his family, The Blast covered his blossoming romance with Hurley. The couple turned heads at the opening of the Orizzonti/Rossi exhibition. The event celebrated Valentino's showcase in Rome, with the pair stepping out in their finest.
Billy Ray and Hurley put on a stunning display as lovers, unable to keep their hands to themselves. The actress looked radiant in a hot pink Safiyaa gown that gave onlookers plenty to see with its plunging neckline design. Meanwhile, the country singer rocked his signature style.
True to his country image, Billy Ray donned his trademark cowboy hat and shades while rocking a black jacket with leather accents. He completed the look with tight-fitting pants adorned with silver medallions. He and Hurley attended the event as a trio, with her son Damian looking dapper in a red suit.
Billy Ray and Hurley's relationship began platonically while filming "Christmas in Paradise." They immediately bonded on set, with the singer noting they were so different, yet they felt strangely connected. Surprisingly, they didn't stay in contact after the movie.
The couple reconnected two years later during a difficult time in Billy Ray's life. He was pleasantly surprised when Hurley contacted him to offer her support and cheer him on through his struggles, a move that paved the path to their romance.
They officially became a couple and made their Instagram debut in April 2025. The post captured Billy Ray and Hurley cozying up on a farm while wearing blue ensembles. They looked happy and in love, as the media personality placed a tender kiss on the actress's cheek.
Last month, Billy Ray caused a stir on Instagram after dropping a throwback video of him and Miley performing a song. The Blast reported that the touching video raised eyebrows because his ex-wife unfollowed their daughter hours later.
Internet sleuths noticed that Tish had unfollowed Miley on Instagram and speculated if she was uncomfortable with a possible reconciliation with Billy Ray. However, she caught wind of the chatter and hit the follow button again, making many suspect she accidentally unfollowed her daughter.
The timing of the incident was suspicious because Billy Ray reflected on his good time with Miley. The video he shared captured him on the guitar and his daughter on the piano while singing an emotional tune about missing and loving someone.
"Can't wait to see this young lady. Crazy how time flies," he captioned the post.
Does Billy Ray Cyrus stand a chance at reuniting with his family?

Eric Dane Is 'Angry' At His ALS Diagnosis Considering How His Dad Died
Eric Dane is not holding back his feelings about his ongoing battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The actor expressed dashed hopes about his chances of ever recovering from ALS, predicting something even worse waiting for him at the end of the line. Eric Dane shared his ALS diagnosis with the world in April after a series of fruitless tests until a neurologist came to his rescue with an accurate diagnosis. The sickness, which began with the weakness of his left arm, has now reportedly spread to his other arm, with his two lower limbs standing a risk of bowing to the crushing effects of ALS. He credits a harrowing experience at a recent snorkeling trip where his stability failed him, and his new realization of how bad things have gotten. According to the TV star, he can feel the end coming for his mobility, which is not a pleasant reality for him to imagine. Dane added that he feels angered about his diagnosis and possible death; he lost his dad at a very young age, and the fact that his kids may suffer the same fate is beyond heartbreaking. An emotional Dane did not let the weight of the moment get in the way of showering encomiums on his wife, whom he described as his biggest support system in the interview with Good Morning America. Dane's story left a trail of emotional reactions in its wake. According to a fan, they have never "cried so much in 2 minutes," as another commenter declared, "So heartbreaking!!!" "Devastating. Live every moment. Go on every trip. Do what you want to do. Live your life to the fullest because it is short," another fan replied in the quotes, urging everyone to take a lesson from the actor's touching story and enjoy life to the fullest. One more concerned fan empathized with the TV star, admitting that while it is difficult to find the right words to heal his scars, may he find the fastest way to peace, longevity, and an endless flow of support. However, a fourth commenter chastised the network for its presentation of the actor's story. In their words: "You make it out to be like this is just about some random guy falling ill and making his best, last testament, but really, this is about an actor being stricken because of the iconicity of the role he played before and the dramatization of the entire journey." In April, The Blast noted that Dane bore a much more positive outlook on his illness. At the revelation of his diagnosis of the disease, which robs its victims of their ability to eat, speak, walk, and even breathe, the actor assured the public of his resolve to keep going. "I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter," the 52-year-old said at the time. He also noted that his diagnosis was not an indicator of an early retirement from the hustle and bustle of the movie industry. He even informed his fans of his return to a popular movie set at the time. "I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to the set of Euphoria next week," Dane shared. According to the Cleveland Clinic, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a neurodegenerative disease that impairs communication between nerve cells and muscles, resulting in progressive muscle weakness. Dane also joined other popular celebrities battling the illness, including Roberta Flack, Stephen Hawking, Aaron Lazar, and the late Kenneth Mitchell. Dane's ALS diagnosis came months after he laid his 7-year-long divorce process from his estranged wife, Rebecca Gayheart, to rest. Both parties reportedly signed off on dissolving the union after a legal deadline, which could have otherwise led to the case being thrown out. Gayheart initially filed for divorce in 2018, citing irreconcilable differences in her motion. She also asked the court to grant her joint legal and physical custody of their two kids. The "Scream" Actress also demanded spousal support. However, things seemingly died down after this filing, which saw them exchange preliminary financial information. Now, the water of their marriage is under the bridge, and the couple continues to co-parent their bundles of joy with mutual respect and cordiality. The actor is a proud dad to his two beauties, Billie Beatrice Dane and Georgia Geraldine Dane. He welcomed Billie in 2010 and Georgia in 2011. "I never had a family, and now I do. I know I'm a very lucky guy," the actor told PEOPLE at the time. While Gayheart was pregnant with Billie, Dane shared that he would be in the labor room, staying close to his then-wife and making sure she was in great condition. Since then, the actor and his estranged wife have gushed about their daughter, who has become a model and dancer. As for their second daughter, Gayheart described her pregnancy as a breeze compared to the very occupying pregnancy of her first daughter. The actress shared: "What's made it different is that I'm very focused on Billie ... so I'm not very focused on [the pregnancy]. I'm not as neurotic," she said. "[With Billie] I was micromanaging everything I was eating and every little symptom I was feeling. And this pregnancy, I just know everything's okay." Years later, Georgia has grown up very interested in athletics. In 2024, the actress uploaded a clip of their daughter strutting her stuff on the court. Wishing Eric Dane all the relief he can find as he continues to deal with ALS.

Trace Cyrus Slams ‘Pathetic' Dad Billy Ray for Allegedly Skipping Mother-in-Law's Funeral
Trace Cyrus is once again airing out his grievances against father Billy Ray Cyrus, whom the Metro Station musician called a 'delusional, evil person' while accusing him of skipping an important family member's funeral Tuesday (June 10). In a post on Instagram, Trace wrote a heated message under a photo of his dad that started with, 'This man is so hungry for fame it's pathetic.'

'Even after his daughter got him a $60k private jet like he demanded.' 'You're the lamest man ever to walk planet earth,' Trace added. 'Honestly embarrassed to have ever considered you my idol. The best thing to come from your downfall is it made me go into beast mode. I refuse to be a washed up, delusional, evil person when I'm old like you.' Billy Ray's rep had no comment when contacted by Billboard. The 'Achy Breaky Heart' singer's relationship with his adopted son has been fraught for some time now. In January, Trace shared an open letter to his dad, stating that he and his sisters were 'genuinely worried' for Billy Ray. 'You've pushed all of us away,' the younger Cyrus wrote at the time. 'We are all hanging on to memories of the man we once knew and hoping for the day he returns. You're not healthy, Dad and everyone is noticing it.' Shortly afterward, Billy Ray posted that he was 'praying' for his family. After marrying Tish in 1993, the country star — who is also Dad to a son named Christopher from a previous relationship — adopted his then-wife's two kids, Trace and Brandi. The former couple welcomed three more children: Miley, Noah and Braison. Billy Ray and Tish divorced in 2022, and rumors of a rift in the Cyrus family have ebbed and flowed pretty much ever since. In a recent interview with The New York Times, however, Miley said that she was no longer 'estranged' from her father, adding, 'My dad and I have had our challenges over the years … I'm at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing.' Tish is now remarried to actor Dominic Purcell, while Billy Ray is dating actress Elizabeth Hurley after ending his seven-month marriage to singer-songwriter Firerose in June 2024. In that same NYT interview, the 'Flowers' singer commented on her parents' new relationships, telling the publication, 'Now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing.'

Billy Ray Cyrus Shares Throwback Family Photos for Father's Day
Billy Ray Cyrus is celebrating Father's Day with a trip down memory lane. The 'Achy Breaky Heart' star posted several family photos in honor of the day on Instagram and X, and wished a 'Happy Father's Day' to all those around him. The mini picture collection includes snapshots of Billy Ray and family members throughout the years. One cute highlight is a very young Miley Cyrus giving the camera quite a serious gaze while riding a pink, toddler-sized trike with handlebar tassels. More from Billboard Elizabeth Hurley Gushes About Being 'In Love' in Birthday Suit Picture Amid Billy Ray Cyrus Romance Fans Choose j-hope & GloRilla's 'Killin It Girl' as This Week's Favorite New Music Morgan Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' Spends First Month at No. 1 on Billboard 200 ''My Grandfather told my Father'… and luckily he taught me ….when your lost …. 'Stand Still'. Happy Father's Day to everyone ! Mothers… sisters ….brothers ….friends included !' Cyrus captioned the picture slideshow on Sunday (June 15). Apparently not shown in the country singer's Father's Day post is son Trace, who's seemingly had a fraught relationship as of late with Billy Ray, whom he recently said is 'the lamest man ever to walk planet earth.' The Metro Station musician referred to him as a 'delusional, evil person' last week — claiming he skipped the funeral of his 'Mammie,' the late mother of Tish Cyrus, back when Billy Ray was still married to Tish. His comments came upon seeing that Billy Ray 'flew to Italy for a fashion show' (with girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley). 'This man is so hungry for fame it's pathetic,' wrote Trace on June 10. Miley's had more positive thoughts to share. In an interview with The New York Times, the Something Beautiful singer shared candid remarks on her father's current relationship with the English actress. 'As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents,' she said. 'My mom's really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard,' Miley explained. 'And so I think I took on some of my mom's hurt as my own, because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain. But now that my mom is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing.' 'I'm being an adult about it,' she added. 'At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.' My child self has caught up.' See Billy Ray's Father's Day post on Instagram here.
