Elizabeth Hurley Confirms Major Romance Shift as She Prepares to Move in With Billy Ray Cyrus Across the Atlantic

Elizabeth Hurley and American country music star Billy Ray Cyrus are officially moving in together in Los Angeles as the British actress begins production on the second series of the television comedy The ‘Burbs. Addressing their relationship on the Off Air with Jane & Fi podcast, Hurley confirmed that the transatlantic couple are taking the decisive step to share a home while she works on the West Coast.

The transition marks a significant chapter for the pair, who have spent the past year dividing their time between the English countryside and the southern United States.

Hurley, 61, admitted that while she normally relishes staying tucked away at home during the British colder months, the opportunity to spend a sunny winter in California alongside Cyrus, 65, proved impossible to resist.

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

A Shared Rhythm Between Gloucestershire and Tennessee

Despite their distinctly different entertainment backgrounds, the couple have bonded intensely over their shared appreciation for peaceful rural living. Hurley manages a country estate in Gloucestershire, while Cyrus owns an expansive farm in Tennessee.

Cyrus has become a frequent fixture in the British countryside over the past eighteen months, adapting quickly to life outside the limelight. Hurley revealed that the musician found respite in the UK climate away from the extreme heatwaves of the American South.

“He never spent any time here, just briefly on tour and stuff,” Hurley noted. “He spent most of the summer here last year, and on and off we were here this summer — we had to go to America quite a bit — and he loves it. Absolutely adores it.”

She explained that Cyrus strongly favours the temperate British summer over the oppressive climate back home, where conditions are often humid and stormy.

The couple also share remarkably similar domestic habits, particularly when the daylight fades.

• Early routines: Hurley prefers heading to bed exceptionally early during British winters once darkness falls around 4:00 pm.
• Aligned schedules: Cyrus similarly follows an early sleep pattern, making their domestic transition seamless.
• Shared chores: The couple spend downtime maintaining their grounds, with Hurley gardening and Cyrus playing acoustic guitar outdoors.

Why Mature Love Feels Different for the Pair

Navigating romance in their sixties has provided both partners with a sense of freedom that was absent during earlier stages of their parenting journeys.

Hurley reflected candidly on the contrast between her current relationship and her past romance with the late Australian cricket legend Shane Warne, who had three school-aged children when they were together.

“When I dated a previous boyfriend of mine, Shane — who sadly, of course, isn’t with us anymore — he had three kids and they were all sort of the same age as Damian and then a few years above, but they were kids,” Hurley said. “And now, Billy and I are empty nesters. All our children are independent and Damian is the youngest of all of them.”
