Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus Heat Up Miley's Album Premiere

Max Sterling, 6/23/2025Love, music, and family dynamics took center stage at Miley Cyrus's album premiere in London, spotlighting her father Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley. Amid emotional moments and social media highlights, the event also faced some fan criticism, showcasing the complexities of celebrity family life.

The couple (who've been turning heads since going public last spring) transformed what could've been just another album launch into something rather extraordinary. There they were, both looking impossibly glamorous — Hurley at 60, somehow defying time itself, and Billy Ray, 63, sporting that signature grin that hasn't changed since "Achy Breaky Heart" dominated radio waves.

Their Instagram feeds lit up faster than a paparazzi flash mob. Between stolen kisses and those knowing looks couples share when they think no one's watching, they managed to capture what Billy Ray later dubbed "what rock n' roll is all about." (Though let's be honest — rock n' roll used to be about rebellion and leather pants, not wholesome family reunions. Times change, eh?)

But here's where it gets interesting. Standing together before a massive screen were their children — Miley, 32, and Damian Hurley, 23. Elizabeth's caption hit that sweet spot between sentimental and social-media-savvy: "The babies are all grown up 🥹❤️." It's the kind of moment that makes you forget about algorithm-driven content and remember we're all just humans trying to figure out this crazy thing called family.

Mind you, not everything went according to script. The meet-and-greet at Rough Trade East turned a bit sour when Miley and special guest Naomi Campbell apparently couldn't quite match fans' expectations for interaction. One particularly pointed comment cut through the PR gloss: "If you're charging people to meet you, at least pretend to care." Ouch.

This wasn't exactly new territory for Miley — earlier this month at Tribeca, she faced down hecklers who'd dropped $800 expecting a concert. In classic Cyrus fashion, she broke into "The Climb" right there on the spot. Whether that was genuine spontaneity or clever crisis management probably depends on your level of cynicism.

Yet somehow, watching Billy Ray beam with pride as he commented on social media about the kids being together felt genuinely touching. Their father-daughter reconciliation has been playing out like a country song in reverse — instead of losing the truck, the dog, and the girl, everything's coming back together.

Billy Ray's recent post about Miley joining Spotify's Billions Club captured that perfectly: "Like when I was a young teenager going to see Joan Jett for the first time. We all knew she was gonna kick our butt. Only question was .... How hard!" There's something endearing about a dad who can still fanboy over his kid's success.

Perhaps that's what makes this whole scenario so captivating. In an era where celebrity relationships often feel manufactured for social media consumption, there's something refreshingly messy and real about this blended family finding its footing in the spotlight. It's not perfect — but then again, what family is?

Love, music, and family drama collided at London's Mayfair Arts Club last night — proving that sometimes the most compelling stories happen off-stage.
