The duo first crossed paths while collaborating on the film “Christmas in Paradise” in 2022. They surprised their followers by making their relationship Instagram official in April of this year.

In a recent interview Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party in New York City Liz addressed what many may consider an odd coupling.

‘I think people found Billy and I being together a little surprising,’ she told Page Six.

‘It’s not surprising to me because we’re actually quite similar and get on extremely well. There has been quite a reaction.’

Delving into their shared interests, Hurley disclosed, ‘We share a mutual love for laughter, the countryside, country music, and movies. We have plenty in common – including a fondness for cowboy boots!’

Billy has been married three times and is father to six children, but  is reportedly estranged from several, including daughters Miley, 32 and Noah 25, whom he shares with ex-wife Trish Cyrus.

Upon marrying in 1993, he also became stepfather to Trace as well as Brandi, 38, from Tish’s previous relationship. 

Billy is also father to another son named Christopher, 33, whom he welcomed with ex Kristen Luckey.

Trace recently slammed his father Billy as ‘evil’ and ‘delusional’ in a scathing Instagram post on Tuesday. 

The music artist, 36, uploaded a photo of the Achy Breaky Heart singer – and also accused his dad of not attending his grandmother’s funeral despite recently flying to Italy with girlfriend Elizabeth. 

‘This man is so hungry for fame it’s pathetic,’ Trace began – five months after he begged Billy to get help following a ‘trainwreck’ performance at Trump’s inauguration in January. 

‘He really flew to Italy for a fashion show but wouldn’t come to LA for Mammie’s funeral while he was still married to my mom,’ he added, referencing to mom Tish. 

‘Even after his daughter got him a 60k private jet like he demanded then he still didn’t come even after the plane was paid for.’ 

Trace then called his father ‘the lamest man to ever walk planet earth’ while adding he is ’embarrassed to ever have considered you my idol.’

‘The best thing to come from your downfall is it made me go into beast mode. I refuse to be a washed up, delusional, evil person when I’m old like you. Christ is King. Get right with God. You need it,’ he concluded.   

The former guitarist for Metro Station also jumped to his Instagram stories where he further called out his dad. 

In one slide, Trace wrote to his followers, ‘Also why does he think that homeless hairstyle looks good? So weird.’

The comments on the Instagram post have since seemingly been disabled, but the singer screenshot one as well as his response beforehand. 

One follower had written, ‘Seems like a cry for help from a son that desperately needs attention from his father. Bullying him isn’t the answer btw.’ 

However, Trace explained that he is ‘past the point of even caring if I ever speak to him again.’ 

The singer added, ‘I’ve surpassed him in every metric as a man on this planet. There’s nothing left to learn from his except from his mistakes. I had hope at one point but I’m convinced he’s finally a lost cause.’

Towards the end of his reply, the media personality stated that he will ‘continue to thrive and as the oldest son of the family the Cyrus last name will continue through me and my many children I plan to have’

Towards the end of his reply, the media personality stated that he will ‘continue to thrive and as the oldest son of the family the Cyrus last name will continue through me and my many children I plan to have.’ 

Trace said that he ‘will raise them the right way and be a part of their life no matter what the circumstances are.’ 

Billy and Trace have been embroiled in drama after the guitarist begged his father to get help after his ‘trainwreck’ performance at the Liberty Ball during the Trump inauguration in January. 

At the time, Cyrus had taken to the stage at the Washington Convention Center – which was plagued by technical issues that prompted him to improvise and perform a cappella at some points.

In another instance, the performer’s silhouette could be seen moving about the stage as music played in the background – prompting social media users to label the situation as ‘plain embarrassing.’

But Billy had brushed aside the awkward performance, posting on Instagram that ‘you just had to be there’ and that he ‘wouldn’t have missed the honor’ of performing at the ball.

However, Trace took to Instagram to express concern for his father and wrote that he ‘barely recognizes’ him.
