Wednesday, August 25, 2026 - Elizabeth Hurley marked boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus’ 65th birthday with an emotional social media tribute as the country music world faced the devastating loss of Dolly Parton.
Hurley shared affectionate photos of herself and Cyrus, calling him her “beautiful boyfriend” and wishing that their next year together would be their “best ever.” The romantic post quickly drew attention from fans, many of whom commented on how happy the couple appeared.
But the celebration came on an intensely emotional day for Cyrus, whose birthday coincided with news of Parton’s death at 80. Parton was a longtime friend of Cyrus and had a special connection to his family, serving as godmother to his daughter Miley Cyrus.
Hours after the birthday celebrations began, Cyrus shared his own deeply personal tribute, remembering their decades-long friendship and promising that he would always love Parton with his “whole heart.”
The timing gave Hurley’s birthday message an unexpected emotional weight, turning what should have been a purely joyful occasion into a day of celebration and mourning for Cyrus.
Hurley and Cyrus, who confirmed their relationship in 2025, have continued to publicly show affection for one another, while Cyrus is now facing the loss of one of the most important friendships of his career. As tributes to Parton continue to pour in, Cyrus’ personal connection to the country icon is making his 65th birthday one he is unlikely to forget.
