Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley have “no plans” to unite their families, as a heartbreaking reason behind their unlikely relationship is exposed.
RadarOnline reported that the couple, who announced their shock relationship on Easter Sunday, is coming to terms with their respective trauma in their personal lives, which cemented a strong bond between them.
Because of that heartbreak, the couple wants to keep their relationship between them until they feel they’re ready to bring others in.
Hurley, lost ex-fiancé and close friend Shane Warne, the Aussie cricket hero, in 2022 following a heart attack, and Steve Bing, the father of her only child Damian, took his own life in June 2020.
Meanwhile, Cyrus recently settled divorce from his third wife, Firerose, 36, after just seven months of marriage, which came off the back of a split from his second wife of 28 years, Tish, the mother of his three biological children, Miley, 32, and Noah, 25, as well as son Braison, 30.
He also adopted her children, daughter Brandi, 37, and son Trace, 36, from her previous marriage to musician Baxter Neal Helson.
Plus, there have also been worries for his welfare amid claims he’s estranged from his children, including superstar daughter Miley, and his wayward performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration in January also sparked concern.
An insider said: “Liz has had her struggles.
“She was left reeling after Steve’s death and was dealt another blow when Shane died two years later.
“Billy Ray has had issues with his love life and with family in recent years. They have bonded over heartbreak, and they both revel in each other’s resilience.
“There’s definitely a spark between them. They just get along.”
However, when it comes to their children, the source said they want to “figure each other out before they start adding in other family members.”
The two families have yet to unite, but Damian has grown close to Billy Ray, even joining his mother during her recent stay at the singer’s sprawling 500-acre Tennessee farm.
The insider added: “Billy does have a connection with Damian and talks to him a bunch, but they will take the time to fully incorporate their families.
“Miley isn’t paying much attention to who her dad is dating because she still has to figure out what type of relationship she wants with him going forward.”
