Model Elizabeth Hurley and singer Billy Ray Cyrus surprised fans last weekend when they hard-launched their relationship on social media ― but, according to Cyrus, their romance had actually been brewing for some time.

Billy Ray Cyrus is opening up about his unexpected relationship with Elizabeth Hurley and how they reconnected after shooting a movie together: 'It's just a good thing.'

"It's just a good thing. It's been a long time since I've been this happy," said Billy Ray Cyrus on Apple Music Country's 'The Ty Bentli Show' after revealing his relationship with Elizabeth Hurley earlier this week.
