Elizabeth Hurley finds herself in a challenging situation as she navigates the complex dynamics between her son, Damian Hurley, and her boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus. Reports indicate tension has arisen between the two important men in her life.
Familial Strain Amidst Romance
The conflict stems from the close bond Elizabeth shares with her 23-year-old son, Damian, whom she had with ex-partner Steve Bing. Sources reveal that Damian feels increasingly distanced due to Elizabeth’s high-profile relationship with country music star Billy Ray Cyrus.
An insider has mentioned that Elizabeth continues to assure everyone that this is merely a phase, describing it as “growing pains.” Still, the stress of handling both relationships appears to be weighing heavily on her.
Background on Damian and Steve Bing
Damian has been a significant part of Elizabeth’s life, especially following the tragic suicide of his father, Steve Bing, on June 22, 2020, at the age of 55. As an actor and model, Damian has been the focal point of Elizabeth’s attention during this difficult period.
Conflicting Personalities
The relationship between Damian and Billy Ray Cyrus has become strained. Initially, they appeared to get along well. However, the dynamic shifted significantly after Damian’s last visit to Nashville when he expressed reluctance to meet Billy Ray again.
- Damian enjoys high fashion and the vibrant London society.
- Billy Ray Cyrus embodies a country lifestyle, creating a stark contrast between the two.
Sources describe their relationship as “like oil and water,” highlighting the differences in their lifestyles and interests. While the initial meeting allowed for some bonding, including a shopping spree for cowboy wear and gifted designer pieces, friction has since taken root.
Elizabeth’s Efforts to Balance Relationships
Elizabeth is reportedly exhausted from trying to balance her commitments to both men in her life. On one hand, she is providing reassurance to Billy Ray, and on the other, she is trying to support Damian’s feelings.
An insider commented, “These are the two men she loves most,” emphasizing her dedication to both relationships. Despite the challenges, Elizabeth remains determined to find a resolution.
Future Prospects
Elizabeth and Billy Ray Cyrus confirmed their relationship in April 2025 after meeting in 2022 on the set of “Christmas in Paradise.” As they navigate this difficult phase, fans and well-wishers will be watching closely to see if a balance can be achieved among the three.
