Story summary

Elizabeth Hurley recently discussed her relationship with Billy Ray Cyrus on the Off Air with Jane Fi podcast, explaining why their romance works well now that her 24-year-old son Damian is an adult. Hurley noted that when she dated cricketer Shane Warne, who died in 2022 at age 52, they had to manage his three young children, which was challenging. In contrast, Cyrus and Hurley are "empty nesters" with all their children now independent. Cyrus has five children from previous relationships: Brandi (39), Trace (37), Miley (33), Braison (32), Noah (26) from his ex-wife Tish; and Christopher Cody (34) from Kristen Luckey. Hurley emphasized that the dynamics are easier now because their children have grown up and left home.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

Narrative

She said: “When I dated a previous boyfriend of mine, Shane – who sadly, of course, isn’t with us anymore – he had three kids and they were all sort of the same age as Damian and then a few years above, but they were kids.” With Damian now in his 20s, Hurley explained, things were "very different".
