Elizabeth Hurley posts bikini photo after 'best summer' with Billy Ray Cyrus

Elizabeth Hurley posted a bikini photograph on Instagram Sunday and described the close of what she called the "best summer" with boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus.

Hurley, 60, was pictured in a white two-piece with a triangular top and matching bottoms featuring gold chain detailing, wearing sunglasses said to be designed by Sir Elton John. She captioned the image, "Bye Bye to the best summer."

Hurley and Cyrus, 64, have spent much of the summer together in England. Cyrus, best known for the 1990s hit "Achy Breaky Heart," spent his first UK summer at Hurley’s Donnington Hall, a Georgian estate in Herefordshire that the actress has described as her main home. The property has 13 bedrooms, five bathrooms and a lake and has been in Hurley’s possession since 2012.

In interviews published as the summer drew to a close, Hurley said Cyrus had been teaching her to play guitar, though she described her current ability as "appalling" and said she hoped to improve. The actress marked her 60th birthday in June at home with friends and family and said her son, Damian, baked a cake for the occasion.

Hurley has spoken about balancing work and home life, saying she now selects projects to avoid lengthy periods away from family. She and Cyrus have attended concerts in London by his daughters, Miley and Noah Cyrus, and Hurley said the couple had also adopted two tortoises and taken up birdwatching, noting recent sightings of goshawks.

Hurley and Cyrus first appeared together publicly in recent years and both were in the cast of the 2022 holiday film Christmas in Paradise. The couple’s relationship attracted attention earlier this year; Hurley has said the partnership "feels nice" because of Cyrus’s support.

Donnington Hall was purchased by Hurley in 2012; reports have noted she bought it with then-fiancé Shane Warne, who died in March 2022. Hurley continues to work in film and television, while saying she prefers the atmosphere of a film set to many social settings and is making a deliberate effort to spend more time at home with family and friends.
