Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley have fans wondering whether wedding bells could be in their future after two suggestive social media posts sent engagement speculation into overdrive.
The country singer, 65, and the actress and model, 61, have been dating publicly since April 2025. Neither has confirmed an engagement, but their latest posts have certainly caught fans’ attention.
Elizabeth Hurley’s diamond ring sparks speculation
The rumors began on Monday, October 12, when Hurley shared behind-the-scenes photos from her first day filming Season 2 of The ‘Burbs.
In the Instagram carousel, Hurley posed in a white bathrobe, sporting a noticeable diamond ring on her left-hand ring finger. Although the jewelry was partially concealed in the first image, she displayed the sparkling stone more clearly in the second.
Her son, Damian Hurley, 24, appeared to share in her excitement, commenting, “SO EXCITED ❤️❤️❤️” beneath the post.
Billy Ray Cyrus adds fuel to the fire
Three days later, on Thursday, October 15, Cyrus gave fans another reason to speculate. He posted a photo of himself with Mark Collie’s song “Something with a Ring to It” playing in the background, accompanied by a diamond ring emoji in his caption.
While much of his message focused on recent music projects and an upcoming NASCAR event in Phoenix, the singer ended with a particularly suggestive remark: “Kinda has a ring 💍 to it.”
Cyrus also celebrated the growing attention surrounding his music, including the success of “Party’s in The Back” with DELTONA. He teased upcoming appearances on the 20th-anniversary special for “I Want My Mullet Back” and a John Prine tribute track featuring the classic song “Storm Windows.”
Damian also reacted to Cyrus’ post with a celebratory emoji. However, representatives for both Cyrus and Hurley were unavailable for comment, leaving the engagement rumors unconfirmed.
From movie co-stars to a public romance
Cyrus and Hurley first met while filming the 2022 holiday movie Christmas in Paradise on the Caribbean island of Nevis. They reconnected years later and confirmed their relationship on April 20, 2025, sharing a photo of Cyrus kissing Hurley on the cheek.
The couple made their red carpet debut together in Rome on May 24, 2025, and have since spoken warmly about their connection.
In a June interview, Cyrus explained that Hurley entered his life while he was working on The Hill, his first album in 14 years. He also described how their experiences in the entertainment industry helped them understand one another.
Hurley has similarly shared her happiness about their blended family dynamic, saying she enjoys seeing Cyrus and Damian spend time together and getting to know some of Cyrus’ children.
For now, the diamond ring and Cyrus’ carefully chosen song have left fans guessing. Whether the couple is preparing to take the next step or simply enjoying the speculation, neither has publicly confirmed an engagement.
