Elizabeth Hurley Posts Red Bikini Photos, Reflects On ‘Helluva Few Weeks’ With Billy Ray Cyrus

There’s something powerful about a red bikini. It’s bold, unbothered, and impossible to ignore, just like Elizabeth Hurley in her latest beachside throwbacks. Before the internet lit up with talk of her new romance, she was soaking in the sun, enjoying a tropical breeze in a red bikini.

Hurley, now 59, looked calm and carefree in new photos from her Maldives trip, taken before she revealed her relationship with country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. The actress shared the shots on Instagram, calling them “happy memories” from her son Damian’s birthday getaway.

In the snaps, Elizabeth strolled the shore in a red bikini, posed in a sundress, and relaxed at a luxury resort. But her caption hinted at more than just nostalgia. “It’s been a helluva few weeks,” she wrote, subtly referring to the attention that followed her romance reveal.

The couple made things official online on Easter Sunday, with Billy Ray posting a photo of himself kissing her cheek. Days later, they appeared in more cozy pictures from a weekend together in Tennessee. For many fans, the suddenness of the reveal was surprising, but their relationship had been quietly forming behind the scenes.

Their love story started with a text message

The love story began years ago when they acted together in Christmas in Paradise, though they barely shared screen time. Still, something clicked. After not speaking for over two years, Hurley reached out via text at a time when Billy Ray was going through a tough divorce. That simple message grew into something deeper.

Billy Ray has since said that Elizabeth and her son came into his life at just the right moment, calling their relationship a blessing. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been this happy,” he told a radio host. From sunlit beaches to quiet texts that turned into late-night talks, this love story didn’t start with fanfare. They’re not planning too far ahead, just enjoying the connection, the joy, and the second chance that life has given them.
