Inside Cyrus And Hurley's Whirlwind Romance Story

Cosmopolitan reported last month that the actress and the country legend met on the set of the Christmas comedy "Christmas in Paradise" in 2022. Fast forward to April 2025, the duo shared their love with the world via an easter Instagram post of them in a field sharing the joy of the season. 

A day later, a source close to the singer's ex-wife, Tish Cyrus, stated that she felt insulted by the relationship because she had her suspicions when the duo met on the set of their Christmas movie.

However, when she confronted Cyrus, he denied it, but the picture revealed that they had indeed stayed in contact, despite Tish's resistance.

By May, Cyrus had claimed Hurley in front of the camera by going red-carpet official with the actress, and in June, they appeared at the Royal Academy of Dance fundraising event in London.

Last month, sources close to the lovebirds noted that his next album will feature love songs heavily inspired by the actress. "He is very happy with Elizabeth. She is motivating him in a very big way. The songs are all about how she 'heals' him and how sexy she is," the insider added.

Last week, the actress celebrated her beau's birthday in an Instagram post where she shared her cute nickname for him with the world.

The insider added that the "Hannah Montana" actor was ready to do anything humanly possible to bring peace to his household. While his bond with his other kids remains in excellent shape, the one with Miley left a hole in his heart.

"He isn't trying to go backwards, but he's hoping and praying that they can have a new beginning and a new version of their family," the source revealed.
