Elizabeth Hurley looked absolutely stunning at a charity gala held in Germany, but she surprised everyone by bringing her son Damian Grace as her date instead of her boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus. The event took place on Thursday, May 8, at The Wellem Hotel in Düsseldorf, where Elizabeth dazzled in a sparkling, golden gown with a deep neckline, paired with a feathered shawl that added a touch of glamour. Damian complemented her look with a sharp black shirt and a cross necklace, and the two of them looked happy and relaxed throughout the evening.
Fans quickly noticed that Billy Ray Cyrus wasn’t by her side that night, which was unexpected since they’ve been openly sharing sweet moments on social media lately. Just a few weeks earlier, Elizabeth posted a cute Easter photo of them together, dressed in matching blue shirts on what looked like a farm, with Cyrus planting a kiss on her cheek. She captioned it “Happy Easter,” making their relationship very clear.
Later that same week, Elizabeth shared even more affectionate pictures with Billy Ray on Instagram, and he returned the love by posting a photo of them kissing, writing “You xx” in the comments. Even Damian seemed to approve of the couple, responding with a sweet “Awwww” under one of their pictures.
Their romance started about two years ago when they met on the set of the holiday movie Christmas in Paradise in 2022. Billy Ray recently opened up about their relationship during an interview on Apple Music Country’s The Ty Bentli Show. He revealed that Elizabeth reached out to him during a really tough time in his life.
He said, “I felt like, ‘Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?’ And then a friend reached out.” He explained that what he really needed was someone who could make him laugh, and Elizabeth was exactly that friend.
Though she chose to attend the gala with her son this time, it’s clear the connection between Elizabeth and Billy Ray is strong and supportive.
