When live television meets unexpected romance — reactions don't get more entertaining than this. Elizabeth Hurley left viewers in stitches on ITV’s This Morning after being put on the spot about her rumored beau, American country icon Billy Ray Cyrus. The actress and model had joined hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley to talk about something close to her heart — raising awareness for breast cancer and the crucial habit of regular self-checks. But things took a flirty turn halfway through the chat.
As the conversation smoothly drifted from health to her “romantic summer with Billy,” Hurley blushed as she revealed that Cyrus had been teaching her a few guitar chords. “Can’t you just get him to write you a song instead?” teased Cat with a grin.
Hurley laughed before replying in her signature playful tone, “Oh, he actually has written a song.” She paused just enough to draw gasps from the audience, then added with a smile, “I’m not entirely sure if it’s about me, but it’s definitely for me. He’s always writing songs — usually sitting under a tree somewhere with his guitar, just strumming away. It’s so romantic!”
Cat swooned, agreeing, “Honestly, having a song written about you might just be the ultimate romantic gesture.” Ben couldn’t resist joining the fun: “Well, is it about you, or maybe about one of the birds he’s been watching lately?”
That’s when Hurley delivered the line of the morning. With a mock glare and a cheeky smile, she quipped, “It’s definitely not about birds of prey! Unless, of course, I’m a hawk — which would be very rude.” She then broke into laughter, adding, “No, I think it’s more about… finding happiness.”
But here’s where it gets interesting — was Hurley subtly confirming their romance or keeping everyone guessing for the sake of a little mystery? As one of Hollywood’s most glamorous yet private stars, her coyness only fueled more speculation online. Fans immediately took to social media to debate whether the pair are truly an item or just close creative collaborators.
