Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus Move in Together as Star Swaps Gloucestershire Farm for Californian Winter

British actress Elizabeth Hurley has revealed that she and American country music star Billy Ray Cyrus are taking their high-profile romance to the next stage by moving in together in Los Angeles.

The 61-year-old screen icon confirmed the domestic transition while preparing for production on the second season of the Peacock television series The ’Burbs. Speaking on the Off Air with Jane & Fi podcast, Hurley explained that the temporary relocation will allow the couple to establish a shared base during a classic “Californian winter”.

The decision represents a significant geographical shift for Hurley, who maintains a primary residence in the Gloucestershire countryside and rarely ventures into London unless required by work.

Swapping Rural England for a West Coast Winter

Hurley has long expressed a deep affection for the rhythms of rural Britain, particularly during the colder months when early sunsets dictate quiet evenings indoors.

“I live full-time in the country. I only visit London when I have to,” Hurley explained during her podcast appearance. “I actually love winter at home — I love snuggling in front of the fire.”

Her domestic timetable aligns seamlessly with Cyrus, who is known for keeping early hours. Hurley noted that she typically heads to bed early because British winter afternoons turn dark by 4:00 pm, whilst 65-year-old Cyrus naturally “goes to bed extremely early.”

This synchronised lifestyle has helped the transatlantic couple bridge the distance between their established rural properties in the UK and North America.

Finding Common Ground Across Transatlantic Country Estates

Although Cyrus is based in Tennessee, the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer has developed an intense fondness for the English countryside during recent visits.

Hurley highlighted that Cyrus had rarely spent time in the UK beyond brief musical tour stops before their relationship began. That routine changed drastically over recent seasons as the singer embraced pastoral English living.

“He spent most of the summer here last year, and on and off we were here this summer,” Hurley stated. “He loves it. Absolutely adores it.”

The English climate has offered Cyrus a welcome reprieve from the oppressive heatwaves typical of southern American summers.

• Escaping extreme weather: Hurley noted that southern US summers are intensely humid and rainy, making the mild British summer air a refreshing contrast for Cyrus.
• Shared rural lifestyle: Cyrus’s working farm in Tennessee closely mirrors Hurley’s estate in Gloucestershire, creating an immediate sense of domestic normality.
• Divided household routines: Hurley has described their dynamic as a blend of outdoor physical labour, where she manages power tools in the garden while Cyrus plays guitar nearby.

Why an Empty Nest Romance Changes the Dynamic

Hurley acknowledged that navigating a high-profile relationship in their sixties feels fundamentally different from partnerships formed in earlier decades of life.

Both partners have now reached a stage where their parenting obligations have evolved, giving them greater freedom to coordinate schedules across multiple continents.

“Billy and I are empty nesters,” Hurley explained. “All our children are independent and Damian is the youngest of all of them.”

A Shift from Past Family Pressures

Hurley pointed out that previous relationships required careful navigation around school-age dependants and complex family timetables.

During her previous relationship with late Australian cricket legend Shane Warne, both were actively managing younger children. Warne had three dependants who were growing up alongside Hurley’s son, Damian, creating a hectic blended family environment.

From Holiday Film Co-Stars to an Autumn Engagement

The couple originally crossed paths professionally while working on the 2022 festive film Christmas in Paradise, though their romantic connection did not develop until they reconnected in February 2025.

After going public with their relationship on Easter Sunday in 2025, the couple established a workable pattern of splitting their time between Nashville, London, Tennessee, and the Cotswolds.
