Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley make stunning red carpet debut as couple at glamorous Rome event

ROME, ITALY: Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus have officially stepped into the spotlight together by making their red carpet debut as a couple at the 'Orizzonti | Rosso' exhibition dinner in Rome on Saturday, May 24, night.

Held at the historic Palazzo Braschi, the event celebrated Valentino’s artistic legacy, but all eyes were on the unexpected duo as they arrived arm-in-arm, Page Six reported.

Hurley, 59, made a fashion statement in a vibrant Barbie-pink Safiyaa gown, complete with flowing cape sleeves and a plunging neckline, while Cyrus, 63, contrasted her glamour with his signature Western look, a black jacket, cowboy hat, boots, and sunglasses.

Also attending the event was Hurley’s son, Damian, who brought his own flair in a striking red suit.

The couple first raised eyebrows in April with their surprise relationship reveal. Since then, they’ve embraced the public’s curiosity, frequently posting affectionate moments from countryside strolls to off-road adventures.

Hurley told Page Six that the two have hit it off naturally. “We’re actually quite similar and get on extremely well,” she said.

Hurley spoke candidly about her connection with Cyrus, calling their bond “a little surprising.”

“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,” she added with a smile.

Their romance reportedly reignited after a casual text exchange during Cyrus’ divorce from singer Firerose. The two had previously shared the screen in the 2022 holiday film 'Christmas in Paradise', which may have sown the seeds of their now-blooming relationship.

Elizabeth Hurley is gearing up for a major birthday celebration, and this year, she won’t be blowing out the candles alone. The British actress and model has revealed that country music star Billy Ray Cyrus will be joining her in England for her 60th birthday, and he’s set to meet her nearest and dearest for the first time.

“He should be in England for my birthday,” Hurley told Hello! at a Breast Cancer Research Foundation event in New York. “He’ll be meeting my family – and my dogs – and hopefully, it’ll be lovely.”

“I love every birthday,” she said, adding with a laugh, “I always get overexcited if it’s a big birthday. I think people are even nicer to you, maybe give you more presents, more flowers, and generally spoil you more. I welcome it.”
