Friends of Elizabeth Hurley weren’t surprised by the news that she and Billy Ray Cyrus were dating, as they hard-launched their romance earlier this week. US Weekly cited a source with direct information, claiming that Hurley’s friends had “known about it for a while.” Her friends not only knew about it but also kept it a secret as she swore “them all to secrecy.”
Cyrus and Hurley went public with their relationship on the occasion of Easter on April 20. They shared a joint Instagram post to commemorate the festivities as well as their romance. Fans shared their shocked reactions in the post, with the actor’s son, Damian Hurley, also showing support for the couple.
Elizabeth has a ‘history of dating eccentric guys,’ source claims
Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus’ romance wasn’t surprising to her friends, who had reportedly known about them dating for quite some time. “Her friends have known about it for a while as it’s not a new thing,” the source confirmed to US Weekly before mentioning that she “had sworn them all to secrecy.” Moreover, the actor’s friends ensured nobody outside their immediate “tight circle of mostly gay men” found out about it.
Rumors of the duo dating surfaced earlier this month after Hurley shared a bikini video on her Instagram with Cyrus’ “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore.” However, they only settled rumors with their PDA-packed Easter photo, and nothing could’ve prepared fans for it. While the news came as a shock to many, it wasn’t exactly a surprise to the actor’s friends. The insider also addressed discussions surrounding their relationship, especially after they went public. “Now that she’s announced it, everyone is chattering about it,” the person noted.
In addition, the source disclosed that Elizabeth Hurley “has a history of dating eccentric guys,” which explained her falling for Billy Ray Cyrus. As for her friends, they were “just happy that [her son] Damian loves him,” said the source. On Tuesday, a source also informed the publication about Damian’s take on her new dating life. The insider claimed the 23-year-old was “really happy seeing his mom happy.”
Other insiders have previously confirmed that the couple’s bond had been platonic all these years and only “turned romantic recently.”
