Billy Ray Cyrus, 63, is reportedly struggling to fund a lavish romance with Elizabeth Hurley, 60, insiders tell the National Enquirer. The country singer has spent heavily on private jets, upscale hotels and extravagant gifts to impress his new partner of four months.
Financial imbalance between couple
Sources say Cyrus blew through substantial cash on a Caribbean birthday trip and flash vacations. But the financial outlay has left him feeling overextended. With a reported net worth of $10 million and dwindling, he now relies on Hurley’s rumored $50 million fortune to keep pace with her jet-setting lifestyle.
Cyrus taps Hurley for support
Insiders told the National Enquirer Cyrus is secretly hoping Hurley will pick up the tab on future trips, dinners and luxury accommodations. They say he asked her to cover shared expenses, believing his own earnings can no longer support their lifestyle. He reportedly pulled back on spending after realizing he cannot afford Hurley’s high-end expectations.
Career decline hurting bank balance
Industry insiders report Cyrus’s tours and music once brought in strong revenue. Now, bookings have slowed and his touring income has dropped. Meanwhile his ex-wife Firerose’s divorce settlement cut his income in half, according to earlier National Enquirer coverage. Divorce costs and legal fees further drained his resources.
Tennessee ranch upkeep adds strain
Cyrus’s sprawling Tennessee property adds to his financial burden. Sources say maintenance and staff costs are high, leaving little in reserve. Meanwhile Hurley has continued modeling and brand partnerships that keep her wealth intact, further exposing the gap between the couple’s financial stability.
Birthday extravaganza raises eyebrows
For Hurley’s 60th birthday, Cyrus reportedly chartered a private jet and booked a luxury resort for two. Insiders say Hurley enjoyed the lavish gestures, but later privately questioned who would foot the bill. Cyrus then pulled back on funding after admitting he could not keep up.
Relationship under financial microscope
Observers say the relationship is increasingly defined by economic imbalance. Cyrus views Hurley both as romantic partner and financial fallback—hoping her wealth will sustain the relationship’s upscale tempo. Sources tell the National Enquirer that this dynamic could cause tension if Hurley grows tired of footing the bill.
Controversial arrangement
Rumors of Cyrus depending on Hurley’s income have sparked debate among fans and financial experts. Some see it as opportunistic, while others argue lavish spending on a partner is not unprecedented in celebrity relationships.
Source insight
One insider told the National Enquirer Cyrus sees Hurley as both love interest and financial “ticket to ride.” They say the couple is navigating wealth disparity while trying to maintain romance without letting money define them.
As Cyrus allegedly shifts the financial burden onto Hurley, the relationship’s future hinges on whether she accepts the new dynamic—or whether their romance collapses under the weight of lavish expectations.
