## Summary

Elizabeth Hurley and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus are engaged, after meeting while filming a Christmas movie in 2022 and beginning to date last year. Friends say Cyrus was prompted to commit by the death of his friend Dolly Parton, which reminded him to seize happiness; the engagement marks a new chapter for two people with complicated romantic histories.

The couple divide their time between Hurley’s 187-acre home in Herefordshire and Cyrus’s ranch near Nashville, and have not said whether they will live together after marrying. Hurley is said to want a large wedding with Elton John performing, while Cyrus would prefer to elope, leaving their plans unresolved. Cyrus, 65, has been married three times, while Hurley, 61, was married once and has previously been engaged.
