Days after their newfound relationship stunned fans, Billy Ray Cyrus<\/a> has broke his silence on his romance<\/a> with Elizabeth Hurley<\/a>. The country singer opened up about their pairing on Apple Music Country’s The Ty Bentli Show almost a week after Liz’s social media post sent fans into overdrive.<\/p>\n Taking to Instagram<\/a> over the Easter weekend, the actress, 59, shared a snap of the singer, 63, giving her a kiss at her farmyard home. Now, more details of how the came to hook up has came to light thanks to the controversial star himself.<\/p>\n He explained on the show: “I felt like, \u2018Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?\u2019 For me, at a certain point it was like, you can\u2019t get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you,’ he said. ‘And in this moment… a friend reached out.”<\/p>\n He admitted he didn’t recognise the number of the helping hand as he continued: “So, I text back, I go, ‘Who is this?’ And it\u2019s like, ‘Elizabeth Hurley.’ Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most\u2026 this friend who made me laugh.”<\/p>\n The duo hadn’t spoken in two years following the filming of their 2022 movie, Christmas<\/a> In Paradise. But the Achy Breaky Heart singer said he remembered their chemistry on set and the quickly took it from where they had left off.<\/p>\n “We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn\u2019t laughing a lot,” he confessed. “The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different.”<\/p>\n Get celeb updates straight to your WhatsApp!<\/p>\n Struggling to keep up with the ever-changing showbiz landscape?

Calling her a “very smart businesswoman,” he added: “If you can laugh together, you can make it through everything.”<\/p>\n And gushing over their “reveal” picture, Billy Ray insisted there’ll be plenty more images to be shared. He joked: “There will be one coming where she\u2019s kissing me because people have been saying, “Why\u2019s he always kissing her?” Unfortunately when I see her, when she puts her cheek out there, I don\u2019t know what happens, I just kiss it.”<\/p>\n It was said a decision by Liz’s son Damian Hurley prompted the blossoming romance too<\/a>. He is said to have been the person behind the camera for the first sweet social media snap.<\/p>\n And it’s also thought his decision to leave the family home spurred his mum into making a new bond. Speaking to the Mail<\/a>, an insider claimed: “The new relationship is filling a void because Damian has moved out.<\/p>\n “He’s got his own place in Earl’s Court [west London] so although they still see each other a lot and are really close, it’s not just the two of them at home any more.”<\/p>\n The source added: “It only really took off about six weeks ago, although he was texting her a lot before then \u2013 I guess for a few months before. He has been writing her the most beautiful texts three or four times a day. She says they are almost like poetry. Saying how beautiful and young and sexy she is.”<\/p>\n Like this story?
