Elizabeth Hurley’s son Damian slammed “startlingly untrue” rumors after the Daily Mail reported a rift had developed between him and his mother since she began dating Billy Ray Cyrus in April. The 23-year-old model clarified that he “adores” Cyrus in an Instagram story shared on Friday, writing, “I’ve been in the public eye since the day I was born and rarely comment on anything written about me or my family, but recent stories are so startlingly untrue that I want to offer a little clarity.” He continued, “For the record: I adore @billraycycrus and think he’s one of the sweetest men I’ve ever met,” adding, “I love seeing my mom so happy.” Elizabeth Hurley and Cyrus both reposted the story, with Cyrus writing “Love you D Man.” Damian added in the Instagram story, “I have a very modern family—from my cherished father Arun, to my wonderful step siblings,” tagging Brooke, Summer, and Jackson Warne. Elizabeth was engaged to cricketer Shane Warne from 2011 to 2013, and the pair remained close friends until he died of a heart attack in 2022.
