Elizabeth Hurley celebrated her 60th birthday by sharing a striking photo on Instagram, posing in her “birthday suit” in a field of grass. Alongside this candid image, she reflected on her career and personal life, making a significant announcement: “And… I’m in love ♥️♥️♥️,” publicly confirming her new romance with singer Billy Ray Cyrus.

In her birthday message, Hurley also highlighted several professional achievements, noting her “30th year of working with the Estée Lauder Companies, my 30th year as the Global Ambassador of the @esteelaudercompanies Breast Cancer Campaign, [and] the 20th anniversary of @elizabethhurleybeach.”

Billy Ray Cyrus, 63, reciprocated the affection with his own Instagram tribute. He posted a photo of the couple cuddling, captioning it, “Happy birthday to the love of my life.” Cyrus also commented “I love you” on Hurley’s birthday post, further cementing their public declaration of love.

The announcement garnered warm wishes from family and friends. Hurley’s son, Damian Hurley, commented, “Hahahah I LOVE YOU ♥️♥️♥️ happy birthday mama xxx.” Fellow supermodel Heidi Klum wrote, “Congratulations beautiful smart funny Elizabeth ❤️ Wishing you the best birthday. Love you 🥳❤️😘,” and actor Richard E. Grant added, “Happy 60th birthday Goddess! ❤️🎂🎂.”

The couple's romance reportedly blossomed after Hurley reached out to Cyrus via text amid his divorce from singer Firerose in 2024. They had previously worked together on the 2022 movie “Christmas in Paradise.” Hurley and Cyrus went public with their relationship around Easter, sharing a joint Instagram post from Cyrus's Nashville estate. The image, showing Cyrus kissing Hurley on the cheek as they wore matching blue shirts, was simply captioned, “Happy Easter ♥️.”

In May, the couple made their official red carpet debut in Rome. They attended the opening of the “Orizzonti | Rosso” exhibition, which took place at the new Valentino Garavani space. For the event, Hurley wore a figure-hugging pink gown with a plunging neckline and cape-like sleeves, while Cyrus chose an all-black ensemble with sunglasses and a cowboy hat.

Hurley has been open about their compatibility, telling Page Six they are “actually quite similar and get on extremely well.” She elaborated, “We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country... And we both love country music, both love movies. We’ve got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely.” Speaking to European news outlet RTL TV, she reiterated their shared happiness, stating, “We are very happy, we both love country music, we both love the country, and we both love our kids. We're happy together.”

Cyrus has also expressed his joy regarding the relationship. During an appearance on “The Ty Bentli Show,” he recalled their time filming “Christmas In Paradise,” noting that even without many shared scenes, “anytime we were in the same scene, there was a chemistry there,” and praised Hurley for making him laugh during a challenging period in his life. He described their current relationship as “beautiful,” adding, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been this happy.”

Fan reactions to Hurley’s birthday photo and her ageless appearance were overwhelmingly positive, with comments such as “Like the finest of fine wines” and “The most beautiful woman in the world!!!” The public declarations of love from both Hurley and Cyrus have captured significant attention, marking a new and happy chapter for the celebrity couple.
