Billy Ray Cyrus is apparently in a relationship with Elizabeth Hurley after the model shared a nonchalant snap of the couple over Easter.
'Happy Easter,' was all the 59-year-old British model wrote in her caption on Instagram to a picture of 63-year-old country singer, Billy Ray, kissing her on the cheek.
Billy Ray, who only finalized his divorce with Firerose in summer, sported green Easer bunny ears and had one arm around Hurley in the cosy snap, while she turned her cheek towards him with a big smile.

The duo gave no further information or insight into their apparent romance, prompting dozens to rush to the comments to share their shock.
"How many of us were like WAIT WHAT when we [opened] the app and saw this?!!" said one. "Did not see this one coming."
Actress Melissa Gilbert also wrote: "Wait...What?"

"Who else totally did not have this one on their 2025 bingo card?" said a third.
"What in the Hannah Montana is going on," said a fourth in reference to the hit Disney TV show played by Billy Ray's daughter, Miley Cyrus, which he also starred in.
The apparent coupling comes just months after the 'Achy Breaky Heart' hitmaker officially settled his divorce with his ex-wife, Firerose, in August last year.
His marriage to the 36-year-old lasted only a brief eight months and the subsequent divorce came as Billy Ray requested an annulment on the grounds of alleged fraud.

According to court documents, he said he gave 'consent to marriage based on fraud by the wife' and that had he of known, he 'would not have entered into the bonds of matrimony.'
He also cited 'irreconcilable differences' and 'inappropriate martial conduct' as other reasons for the separation.
The father-of-six has also been embroiled in a public spat with his adopted son, Trace, after his performance at Donald Trump's inauguration in January was dubbed a 'epic disaster' from technical issues.

Billy Ray could be seen wandering around the stage aimlessly, which 35-year-old musician Trace wasted no time in urging his dad to get help.
In his public letter, he stated his celebrity father is 'not healthy' and had 'pushed' all six of his kids away.
"As I write this with tears in my eyes I hope you realize this message only comes from a place of love and also fear that the world may lose you far too soon," he wrote. "I love you Dad. We haven’t talked in a while but I’m over a year and half clean from alcohol. Guess what? I feel amazing..

"I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly but I think I have a pretty good idea & I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help," Trace concluded.
Firerose also spoke out at the time, saying to PEOPLE: "What’s being seen in public now reflects much of what I experienced in private during our relationship.
“It’s very sad to see those same struggles continue for him, but I’m glad the truth is coming to light — for his potential good because healing is only possible when you confront the truth and accept there’s a problem,” she added.
Before Firerose, Billy Ray was married to Cindy Smith between 1986 to 1991 and later Tish Cyrus with whom he shares three children, Miley, Noah and Braison.
