Elizabeth Hurley ready to introduce Billy Ray Cyrus to family
The 'Bedazzled' star - who has 23-year-old son Damian from a previous relationship - shocked fans last month when she announced she was dating the 'Achy Breaky Heart' hitmaker and she's now revealed he will be flying over to the UK in June to be part of her 60th birthday celebrations.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I am looking forward to celebrating with Billy Ray.
"He should be in England for my birthday. He'll be meeting my family – and my dogs – and hopefully, it'll be lovely."
Elizabeth isn't too worried about hitting 60 because she always enjoys her birthdays, but even more so when she reaches a milestone age.
She said: "I love every birthday. I always get overexcited if it's a big birthday – I think people are even nicer to you, maybe give you more presents, more flowers, and generally spoil you more. I welcome it."
The 'Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery' star's comments come after 63-year-old musician Billy praised Elizabeth as a "great human being".
He recently told their romance has evolved, recalling how they met while filming 2022's 'Christmas in Paradise' movie.
In a clip from 'The Ty Bentli Show', Billy Ray said: "We did very few scenes together but the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry there. We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot.
"The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different.
"If all we ever were [is] the friends that we are, I would take that. She's so impressively brilliant. She reminds me a lot of Dolly Parton. She's a very smart businesswoman.
"If you can laugh together, you can make it through everything."
While the pair met on the movie set, they didn't speak to each other for two years after shooting the film.
But Elizabeth re-entered Billy Ray's life when he needed a friend, following his split from wife Firerose.
He shared: "I felt like, 'Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?' For me, at a certain point it was like, you can't get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you. And in this moment ... a friend reached out."
Billy didn't recognise the number at first, so he text Elizabeth back.
He recalled: "I text back, I go, 'Who is this?' And it's like, 'Elizabeth Hurley.' Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most ... this friend who made me laugh."

'Hello, people!': Oasis back on stage after 16 years
Oasis have taken to the stage for their first gig in 16 years, sending the crowd jumping and cups flying into the air. Noel and Liam Gallagher swaggered onto stage before waving at concertgoers at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, the first stop on their long-awaited worldwide reunion tour. The brothers launched into Hello to kickstart their first live show since their dramatic split in 2009 following a backstage fight at a gig in Paris. The Britpop band from Manchester started promptly at 8.15pm on Friday following a short video which declared: "This is not a drill". Before their third song, (What's the story) Morning Glory? Liam said: "Hello people, it's been too long." He walked off stage after performing Roll With It, with Noel taking over singing duties and appearing to reference the dynamic pricing scandal, quoting the audience a price before saying "it's just gone up". Later, ahead of launching into Cigarettes And Alcohol, Liam demanded the audience embrace, telling fans to turnaround and hug a stranger. He said: "Right then beautiful people, I want to see you all turn around and put your arms round each other. "And when the tunes starts, jump up and f***ing down." Tens of thousands of fans descended on Cardiff ahead of the gig, with the stadium able to host 74,500 people. On Friday afternoon, every pub and bar along St Mary's Street in the Welsh capital was filled with people waiting for the concert to start, with the majority wearing the Britpop band's merchandise. The reunion announcement came 15 years after Noel quit the Britpop band, saying he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer", following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. While fans have been pleading for the group to reunite since they disbanded, website issues and controversial dynamic pricing brought outrage, with many failing to secure a spot. Following Cardiff, Oasis will visit Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September. The group will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. A movie, produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, is being made in conjunction with the reunion tour. The band was led by lead guitarist Noel and his brother, lead vocalist Liam, during their 18 years together. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe in 1994. They had hits with songs including Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Live Forever. Dig Out Your Soul, the band's last studio album, was released in 2008, just months before the Paris row.

Oasis make triumphant return to the stage after 16 years away as Liam and Noel share a hug on stage
Oasis made their triumphant return to the stage after 16 years away on Friday (04.07.25) night. The Manchester-based rock band - who enjoyed immense success in the 1990s with hits such as Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger - stopped performing together in 2009 after brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher became estranged from one another in 2009, but the siblings joined forces once again as they launched their epic comeback at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. As the brothers joined Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker on stage, Liam thanked their "beautiful fans" for the dedication they have shown over the years. Just as they were coming to the end of their set, he told the crowds: "There are many things I would like to say to you, but I don't speak Welsh. Right then, beautiful people, this is it. "Nice one for putting up with us over the years." Two hours earlier, the rock band arrived on stage with the brothers standing on either side of Bonehead, and they opened their set with Hello, before going on to perform hits such as Acquiesce, Morning Glory, and Some Might Say. Following their much-anticipated arrival, Liam shouted to the crowd of 75,000 fans: "Hello people, it's been too long, it's good to be back. Yes beautiful people." The band were just rounding out the mellow segment - which was made up of classics such as Stand By Me, and Cast No Shadow, Liam joked with the crowds about the ticket prices. He said: "You're all having a good time yeah? Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?" Things took a more sombre turn when an image of tragic footballer Diogo Jota flashed up, just one day after the Liverpool star was killed in a car crash at the age of 28. Following a rendition of Rock 'N' Roll Star, Noel made a point of addressing their younger fans and dedicated The Masterplan to all of those who were not around when they were in their heyday. He said: "This is for all the people in their 20s who've never seen us before!" Leaving some of their biggest hits til last, the legendary rock band closed out their set with Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, all of which appeared on the second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? when it was released in 1995. The Oasis Live '25 Tour started in the UK in Cardiff on July 4 and will head to North America, South Korea, Japan, Australia and South America, where it will conclude in Sao Paulo, Brazil on November 25.

'So cute': Lady Louise Windsor's rumoured Australian boyfriend Felix da Silva-Clamp 'wins over' Duchess Sophie at prestigious Sandringham event
Lady Louise Windsor's rumoured boyfriend, Felix da Silva-Clamp, is seemingly off to a strong start with her family, most notably her mother, Duchess Sophie, after joining the pair at a high-profile event over the weekend. The 21-year-old royal and her Australian companion, 20, were seen attending the Sandringham Festival of Carriage Driving on June 29, where Lady Louise competed in the prestigious Horse Driving Trials. The annual event, held on the grounds of the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, was established by her late grandfather, Prince Philip, and has long been one of Louise's great passions. In photos from the day, Louise, who is 16th in line to the throne, can be seen sharing laughs with Felix, dressed in her smart riding attire while he opted for a relaxed but neat look in chinos, boots, a button-down shirt, and a cap. Felix was also photographed chatting comfortably with Sophie, 60, who wore a flowing red dress and sneakers as she cheered on her daughter from the sidelines. The duo stood alongside Penny Knatchbull, Countess Mountbatten, a close friend of the late Duke of Edinburgh and a fellow carriage driving enthusiast. After pictures from the event surfaced, royal fans quickly flooded social media with comments about the rumoured romance. "They look so cute," one user wrote on Instagram, while another said: "It looks like Felix has won over Sophie too!" It is not the first time Felix and Louise have made a joint appearance at the royal event. Last year, the pair were seen looking "very comfortable together" with Hello! reporting that Louise even took him for a spin in her carriage. "They were chatting and looking at each other all the way around," an onlooker said at the time. "They went for a couple of walks together in between her two events as well, they are clearly very close." Felix also appeared to get the seal of approval from the Duchess back then, joining her and Prince Edward, 61, to watch Louise compete. "Felix and the Duchess looked very at ease with each other," the onlooker added. "They turned up in the car just 10 minutes before Louise's first event and watched her eagerly." In May, a new picture of Louise and Felix was taken with a large group of friends at the University of St Andrews, where they are both studying. It is believed the couple met at the Scottish institution around two years ago after being cast in the same student theatre production. Felix was born in 2004 and raised in Melbourne before moving to the United Kingdom for university. Alongside his studies, he works as a "gelato artist" at Jannetta's Gelateria in St Andrews, where one of his colleagues described him to Hello! as "a lovely person". A palace insider revealed to the Daily Express last year that Louise, who is currently undertaking a four-year English degree, has been contemplating a study-abroad year at Macquarie University in Sydney. This would allow her to spend more time with Felix's relatives in Australia. "The next academic year is going to be an important one for Louise," the source said. "She is exactly halfway through her degree course and this is the point where students decide whether they want to study abroad or remain in Scotland."
