Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley reportedly get engaged

Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley have reportedly taken their relationship to the next level, with the couple said to be engaged after dating for around a year and a half. The news has sparked excitement among fans, particularly after the actress was spotted wearing a large diamond ring and the country singer shared a social media post that appeared to hint at the possible engagement.

The 65-year-old American singer-songwriter and actor reportedly proposed to the 61-year-old British actress, according to reports published on Friday, October 16. Although neither star has publicly confirmed the engagement, their recent social media activity has fuelled speculation that wedding plans could be on the horizon.

Hurley first caught fans’ attention when she shared an Instagram post on Monday, October 12, featuring a prominent diamond ring on her ring finger. The jewellery quickly attracted attention, with followers wondering whether the actress was revealing an engagement announcement.

The speculation grew after an insider commented on the ring, suggesting that it was unlikely to be a prop for Hurley’s current filming commitments. The actress is reportedly working on The ‘Burbs, but the appearance of the sparkling diamond has continued to fuel rumours about a possible proposal.

Billy Ray Cyrus adds to engagement speculation

Cyrus also appeared to add to the excitement with a recent Instagram post. On Thursday, October 15, the singer included a ring emoji in his caption, prompting fans to wonder whether he was subtly hinting at a major development in his personal life.

The post also received a celebratory emoji reaction from Hurley’s son, Damian, further drawing attention to the possibility that the couple had something special to celebrate.

However, Cyrus’s caption primarily focused on his music and upcoming professional projects. The singer expressed enthusiasm about his recent work, including Party’s in The Back with Deltona, which he said had attracted more than half a million views within a few days.

He also teased an upcoming 20th-anniversary special connected to I Want My Mullet Back. In addition, Cyrus discussed a John Prine tribute track featuring the classic song Storm Windows, highlighting his excitement about introducing meaningful music to a new generation of listeners.

The singer concluded his message by sharing his enthusiasm for an upcoming show in Phoenix, where he planned to team up with NASCAR. His reference to something having a “ring” to it nevertheless caught fans’ attention amid the growing engagement rumours.

Despite the speculation, the couple has yet to make an official announcement confirming their reported engagement.

How Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley met

Cyrus and Hurley’s relationship began several years before they became romantically linked. The pair first met in 2022 while working together on the holiday film Christmas in Paradise.

Their professional connection eventually attracted attention when Hurley shared a video from the Maldives on April 9, 2025. The post featured Cyrus’s song She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore, prompting fans to wonder whether the two had developed a romantic relationship.

The speculation intensified on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, when the pair shared a joint Instagram post. The photograph showed Cyrus kissing Hurley on the cheek while the two stood together in a field, offering a more public glimpse into their relationship.

Since then, their romance has continued to attract interest from fans curious about their personal lives. Their reported engagement would mark another significant step for the couple, who have increasingly shared glimpses of their connection online.

For now, the diamond ring, Cyrus’s cryptic social media reference and Damian’s reaction have added to the excitement surrounding the reported proposal. Until either star confirms the news, however, their engagement remains unconfirmed, leaving fans waiting for an official statement from the couple.
