Billy Ray Cyrus is feeling super happy now that he’s landed Elizabeth Hurley as his new girlfriend and a source exclusively tells In Touch Weekly that he’s desperate to end the bad blood with various members of his family – starting with ex-wife Tish Cyrus-Purcell and eldest daughter Miley Cyrus.

“Billy Ray wants to introduce Liz to Miley and the rest of his family, he’s very proud to be dating her and is convinced they will love her and that she’ll be able to help smooth things over,” an insider says. “He’s had a huge turnaround when it comes to his mistake of a marriage and has admitted he should have listened to Miley. He’s begging her to forgive him. He’s trying the same thing with Tish.”

The source continues, “Noah and Braison are still speaking to him so he’s counting his lucky stars that he at least has two kids that don’t hate him. But he’s vowed that he will turn things around with Miley and with Trace and Brandi too. He wants them all to have a loving relationship again.”

The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer, 63, is “even willing to apologize to Tish’s husband [Dominic Purcell] for any grief he caused, he’s ready to totally swallow all pride.”

“That’s how badly he wants to unite his family again. He isn’t trying to go backwards but he’s hoping and praying that they can have a new beginning and a new version of their family,” the insider adds.

Billy Ray’s strained relationship with several of his children has been under a microscope for the past few years, especially following his split from Tish, 58, in 2022 after nearly three decades of marriage. Their divorce appeared to divide the family, with some kids publicly supporting Tish while others remained close to Billy Ray. Things reportedly worsened after he quickly moved on with singer Firerose (real name: Johanna Rose Hodges), a relationship that many fans and insiders speculated Miley never fully supported.

He and Firerose, 36, tied the knot in October 2023 but filed for divorce less than a year later in May 2024, with legal documents and allegations on both sides painting a chaotic picture. The fallout from that marriage appears to have prompted Billy Ray to reassess more than just his love life.

His new relationship with British actress and model Liz marks a fresh chapter. The 59-year-old star has been a fixture in the entertainment world since the ’90s and is known for her roles in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and The Royals, as well as her longtime work with Estée Lauder. She and Billy Ray were first linked in April 2025, and their romance quickly grabbed headlines.

A separate insider previously told In Touch Weekly that Billy Ray was feeling lucky to have sparked a connection with Liz.

“Billy Ray has been through tough times and he’s had his heart stomped on, but he never gave up on love,” the insider exclusively tells In Touch. “He feels pretty lucky, like he’s finally met his match in Liz.”
