Miley Cyrus allegedly believes Elizabeth Hurley has been a ‘great influence’ on Billy Ray, claims insider
As per a RadarOnline report, Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus were getting along again. The outlet said the father-daughter pair had reconciled after his troubled marriage to Firerose. The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer later began dating Elizabeth Hurley, 61. A source claimed Miley had also changed her view of that romance. The insider said, “Miley really likes Liz.”
Meanwhile, the source said Hurley had helped Billy Ray after a difficult family period. The insider claimed Miley saw “what a great influence” the actress had been on him. They added that the singer would “100 percent support” the couple’s relationship moving forward. The report framed Elizabeth Hurley as a calming presence around Miley’s dad, not another reason for family distance.
However, the family background added weight to the shift. RadarOnline said tensions grew after Billy Ray’s 2022 divorce from Tish Cyrus. The strain reportedly continued during his relationship with Australian singer Firerose. Billy Ray filed to annul that marriage in May 2024, eight months after they wed. After that, the report said the frosty relationship started to thaw.
Still, the insider said Miley Cyrus was focused on having her dad back. The source claimed she was “so happy” about their renewed bond. They added that the two had “been through a lot.” Miley was also said to be proud that they had worked through much of it. Another source said Miley and Liz “get along very well.” For Miley Cyrus and her dad, Hurley was framed as part of the family reset.
