The pair first connected on the set of the 2022 movie Christmas in Paradise – with Billy Ray’s ex-wife Tish reportedly suspecting something was going on at the time.
But now their love is out in the open, Hurley couldn’t be happier.
One insider, who knows the former flame of actor Hugh Grant incredibly well, says he knows she he is head over heels for the Achy Breaky Heart singer because of her permanent smile.
“She feels brand new being with him,” the source told The U.S. Sun, “she thinks he is the best guy possible for her and hopes they can build something unique together.”

Hurley has been married once before, to Indian businessman Arun Nayar. Their courtship ended after four years in 2011.
Her son Damian’s father was the late film producer Steve Bing, who took his own life in Los Angeles in 2020 while another former boyfriend, Australian cricket legend Shane Warne, also passed away three years ago.
The insider says Hurley feels lucky to have found love once again with Cyrus, and that their instant spark makes them feel like they have known each other for “20 years.”
“They are so compatible,” he continued, “their personalities match so well. It’s beautiful to see.”
CONSTANT CONTACT
Hurley, the source claimed, FaceTime’s her new boyfriend “for hours” and are always affectionate when with one another.
The Brit reportedly helped Cyrus mend the scars of a brutal break-up with some of the five kids from his previous marriages.
Billy Ray and Tish had three children together – Miley, Noah and Braison. The country star also adopted Brandi and Trace from Tish’s previous marriage.
Christopher, 33, is shared with ex Kristin Luckey.
However, since Tish and Billy Ray’s 2022 split, the family appear to have become divided, with children missing from both Tish and Billy Ray’s subsequent weddings.
Billy Ray married Firerose in 2021, but the pair filed for divorce after just seven months of marriage.
A nasty divorce battle followed, with Firerose walking away from the relationship with $0.
Tish is now married to Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell, tying the knot in August 2023 with Miley as her maid of honour.
The source claims seeing the pair together has helped mend some of the issues.
“All of their kids enjoy what they see, and everyone is happy for both of them,” he added. “Elizabeth feels that Billy is an unbelievable person, so kind and she is obsessed with his personality as she always praises him and talks about his strengths and how nice and funny he is all the time.”
A source close to Billy Ray, meanwhile, says the pair are a “match made in heaven.”
“He went through a lot of bad moments, but Elizabeth brought that spark back,” a close friend told The U.S. Sun. “His life is now so much better with her – she makes him so happy and full of life.”
DEMON BATTLE
The pal claims Cyrus is now “the best version of himself” and has been successfull battling his own personal demons. He has reportedly been battling addicition issues while a recent, troubling performance at President Donald Trump’s Inaugural Liberty Ball worried friends.
“They do simple things, they love to walk around, hold each others hands, like simple people that enjoy simple moments of life and love,” said the insider.
“I haven’t seen him that happy in so long, that is fantastic for him, such a blessing. He calls her his sunshine, because she brings so much good energy and positive things, she is a fantastic person, and the best partner for him.
“He knows he has found a gem.”
