Elizabeth Hurley Reveals Billy Ray Cyrus' Quirky Nickname: 'Squirrel Man!'
SCANDALOUS ROMANCE ALERT!
In a shocking turn of events, 60-year-old actress Elizabeth Hurley has declared her love for none other than country music legend Billy Ray Cyrus on his special day - and shared the most intimate details about their whirlwind romance!
As the birthday girl wished "Squirrel Man" (yes, you read that right!) a happy 64th birthday on Instagram, fans were left gasping in awe of the pair's sizzling chemistry. The Bedazzled star posted a slew of PDA-packed photos showcasing her and Billy Ray's undeniable love for each other.
But what really got tongues wagging was the peculiar nickname she bestowed upon him - "Squirrel Man"! While some fans couldn't help but giggle at the unusual moniker, others were left wondering if it was a nod to their quirky personalities or just a playful jab at Billy Ray's eccentric side.
A WHIRLWIND ROMANCE
It all began when Elizabeth reached out to Billy Ray after his divorce from Firerose (his third marriage, mind you!) and subsequent split from Tish Cyrus. The country star revealed on Apple Music's The Ty Bentli Show that he was going through a tough time when Elizabeth sent him a heartwarming message.
"I felt like, 'Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?' For me, at a certain point it was like, you can't get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you. And in this moment... a friend reached out," Billy Ray shared, reminiscing about the exact moment he received Elizabeth's message.
When asked to recall the contents of her text, Billy Ray revealed that she simply said: "Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I'm in your corner; you've got a friend in your corner." But what really caught our attention was his response: he didn't even know who Elizabeth was at first!
"I text back, I go, 'Who is this?' And it's like, 'Elizabeth Hurley.' Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most… this friend who made me laugh," Billy Ray confessed.
Fast forward a few months, and the unlikely pair has been inseparable. Fans have noticed just how smitten they are with each other, with many gushing about their undeniable chemistry on social media.
A FAMILY AFFAIR
But Elizabeth's romance with Billy Ray isn't just about love - it's also become a family affair! The country star has gushed about getting close to her son Damian, who she welcomed with the late Steve Bing. In fact, he even revealed that God brought them into his life at exactly the right time.
"It's great that God brought them into my life when he did. It’s just a good thing. It’s been a long time since I've been this happy," Billy Ray beamed, clearly over the moon about his new family dynamics.
A £6MILLION HOME
And speaking of Elizabeth's family, it seems they're living in style! Her 13-bedroom estate in Herefordshire boasts an impressive five bathrooms and its own lake. The Georgian mansion has been her main home since 2012, which she purchased with her late fiancé Shane Warne.
As for Billy Ray, he's got a pretty interesting family history of his own. He was previously married to Tish Cyrus from 1993 to 2023, and they share four children together - Miley, Noah, Braison, and Brandi. Not to mention his son Christopher with ex Kristen Luckey!
THE COMMENTS SECTION
Fans had plenty to say about the unlikely pair's romance. While some were completely baffled by their match-up (one fan even compared it to Lana Del Rey's marriage to Jeremy Dufrene, aka "Alligator Man"!), others couldn't help but be charmed by their chemistry.
"I've never seen Billy Ray smile like this in my life!" one posted. Another simply stated: "Looking happy." And a few more were straightforward about the couple's unlikely pairing: "Maybe the oddest pairing but so cute," they wrote, wishing them both happiness.
But not everyone was a fan of their romance. Some fans couldn't help but poke fun at Billy Ray's new nickname, with one quipping: "Wonder why you call him squirrel." Another even posted a meme featuring a squirrel that read: "COME AT ME BRO."
A BOLD MOVE FROM ELIZABETH
So what does this mean for Elizabeth and her son Damian? Well, it seems the actress is more than happy to welcome Billy Ray into their lives. And judging by her birthday post, it's clear she's completely smitten with him.
As one fan pointed out: "Elizabeth & Squirrel man; Lana & Alligator man." We're not sure about that comparison, but we do know one thing - this unlikely pair has got everyone talking!
