Kevin Costner might pursue Elizabeth Hurley if Billy Ray Cyrus romance doesn’t work out, source claims
RadarOnline exclusively learned that Kevin Costner might pursue Elizabeth Hurley if her relationship with Billy Ray Cyrus doesn’t pan out. A source claimed that the actor-director knew Hurley back in the 90s and “always” found her attractive. In fact, the two shared a “genuine connection,” with rumors alleging that they were involved with each other, although neither “ever admitted it.”
Lately, especially following his divorce from Christine Baumgartner in February 2024, Costner reportedly began focusing on Hurley. The insider alleged that he was ready to “jump at the chance to get with” the mom of one if the opportunity ever presented itself. However, Cyrus seemed to be the only thing “in the way” of the Hollywood veteran getting together with the “Bedazzled” star.
Hurley and Cyrus confirmed their relationship with an Easter Sunday photo of them packing on PDA earlier this year. They broke the news via an Instagram post amid swirling rumors of a romance. Then, about a month later, they made their red carpet debut alongside the actor’s son, Damian Hurley, who even seemingly showed his support for them as a pair from the very start.
More recently, Hurley and the country singer shared another red-carpet moment with the former’s son. The trio attended the 2025 National Television Awards in London, with the British actor looking absolutely stunning in a deep-neck sheer gown with a daring side slit. Meanwhile, Cyrus channeled country-core with a cowboy hat and a boho look. As for Damian, he went full-blown dapper in a sleek, cream pant suit over a dotted shirt.
