Liz Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus Announce Engagement Amid Differing Wedding Plans

Actress Elizabeth Hurley and country music star Billy Ray Cyrus have announced their engagement. Hurley is reportedly wearing a large diamond ring.

The couple's differing visions for their wedding have emerged, with Hurley said to want a significant event potentially featuring a performance by Elton John. In contrast, Cyrus is reportedly keen to elope.

Despite these divergent desires, the pair have found happiness together, sharing their time between Cyrus's farm in Tennessee and Hurley's country home in England. Their at-home life includes listening to country music by artists like Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, and watching the TV series "Yellowstone."

This engagement marks a new chapter for Hurley, who was previously married to businessman Arun Nayar and had a long-term relationship with actor Hugh Grant. She also has a son, Damian, from her relationship with film producer Steve Bing. Cyrus is known for his music career and has children from previous relationships.
