Before the whirlwind of media attention surrounding her relationship with Cyrus, Hurley enjoyed a serene escape to the Maldives. Her social media posts showcased a world of sun-kissed beaches, turquoise waters, and luxurious relaxation. In one photo, she exuded confidence and ease, sporting a vibrant red bikini as she strolled along the shoreline. The trip also served as a celebration of her son Damian Hurley’s birthday, adding a sentimental touch to the already picturesque setting. Hurley captioned a series of images, "Well…it’s been a helluva few weeks since my glorious sojourn in the Maldives, but here are some of my happy memories," inviting her followers to share in her joy. Other snapshots featured her in a backless sundress, radiating elegance, and showcased the breathtaking views from her opulent cabana at the Baglioni Maldives hotel. These moments captured a sense of tranquility and contentment, a brief interlude before the spotlight shifted to her surprising new romance.
The revelation of Hurley and Cyrus’s relationship sent shockwaves through the entertainment world. The couple made their Instagram debut as a couple on Easter Sunday, sharing a photo of the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer tenderly kissing Hurley. The image served as confirmation of the rumors that had been swirling, officially announcing their connection to the world. Days later, Hurley further solidified their relationship by posting photos from a weekend spent in Tennessee, with Cyrus by her side. These images offered a glimpse into their shared life, painting a picture of a blossoming romance rooted in genuine affection.
Cyrus has been candid about the profound impact Hurley has had on his life. In an interview with "The Ty Bentli Show," he described their relationship as a "gift from God," adding that he is the happiest he has been in a long time. "It’s just been beautiful," Cyrus said, emphasizing the absence of expectations and the simple joy of their connection. "There are no expectations of where we go from here other than her and her son. I do love him a lot, and it’s great that God brought them into my life when he did. It’s just a good thing." His words reflect a sense of gratitude and contentment, highlighting the positive influence Hurley has had on his well-being.
Cyrus also shared the story of how he and Hurley reconnected, revealing that she initiated contact after nearly two years of no communication following their work together on the 2022 film "Christmas in Paradise." "We did very few scenes together, but the couple times we were in the same scene, there was a chemistry there that felt … we just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn’t laughing a lot," he recalled. The unexpected reconnection came at a challenging time for Cyrus, who was in the midst of a divorce from his third wife, Firerose. He described feeling as though he was at his lowest point, stating, "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.’" It was during this difficult period that Hurley reached out, offering a lifeline of friendship and support.
Cyrus expressed amazement at the unlikely pairing, acknowledging the seemingly disparate paths that led them to each other. "Ive obviously, I know all about her life and career and me, a kid from Flatwoods, Kentucky, going to sit and pretend Im an actor with Elizabeth Hurley knowing that, wait, how did this happen?" he mused. He attributed their connection to their shared sense of humor, noting that they laughed a lot during their brief time working together. The ability to find joy and laughter in each other’s company seems to be a cornerstone of their relationship, providing a foundation for a deeper connection.
