Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus put on a display of unwavering affection, confirming their status as one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples with a series of public displays of affection at the star-studded Country Music Awards.
A Red Carpet to Remember
The couple, who made their romance official back in April, looked more enamoured than ever as they arrived on the red carpet in Nashville on Wednesday. Hurley, 60, was radiant, beaming as Cyrus, 64, planted a tender kiss on her cheek for the cameras.
The actress commanded attention in a daring, dazzling red gown that featured a plunging neckline, a bold thigh-high split, and was worn braless. She elevated her frame with towering silver platform heels and accessorised with striking drop earrings. Meanwhile, the father of Miley Cyrus cut a classic country figure in head-to-toe black, sporting a raven-coloured suit and matching cowboy hat, with his top buttons undone to reveal a large, gleaming cross necklace.
From the Crowd to the Stage
Once inside the venue, the pair continued their loved-up behaviour. Billy Ray wrapped a caring arm around Elizabeth as they cosied up in their seats to enjoy the show. Despite not being a nominee this year, the two-time CMA winner had a special role, taking to the stage with his girlfriend to present the award for Single of the Year.
The couple appeared completely relaxed, walking on stage hand-in-hand to present the gong to Ella Langley for her song 'You Look Like You Love Me' featuring Riley Green. They later exited the stage arm-in-arm, a picture of coupledom. This category was highly competitive, featuring nominees like Lainey Wilson and Luke Combs.
An 'Ordinary' Life Together
This glamorous outing comes after Hurley recently opened up about the surprisingly down-to-earth life she shares with the country music star. She gushed that they are 'very happy' and that their day-to-day routine is far from the glitz of award shows.
Rather than constant A-list parties, the couple enjoys relaxed activities like grocery shopping and bird watching. Hurley even revealed she cuts Billy Ray's hair herself, joking about the perils of their combined 'fuzzy' hair. They have spent time at each other's homes, with Billy Ray loving Hurley's £6 million country home in Herefordshire and Elizabeth admiring the English countryside-like beauty of his Tennessee estate.
The couple originally met in 2022 while filming the comedy 'Christmas in Paradise'. Hurley has since admitted that the chance to work with Cyrus was a major draw for her. Their families have also blended well, with Hurley's son, model Damian, and Cyrus's famous daughter, Miley, having met and getting along famously.
