Elizabeth Hurley’s behind-the-scenes photos from the set of Peacock’s “The ’Burbs” drew attention to a large diamond ring on her left hand, prompting social media users to wonder whether it signaled a development in her relationship with country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.
Hurley, 61, shared a set of images in a white bathrobe and captioned the Instagram post, “Day 1 on set #TheBurbs.” In one mirror selfie, the prominent stone is visible. In another, the ring remains on her hand but is turned away from the camera. Hurley has not publicly explained the jewelry’s significance, and it is not clear whether it belongs to her or is an accessory for her role.
One commenter asked whether Hurley should be called “Mrs. Cyrus or Mrs. fisher,” according to the post. Other responses focused on her return to television. Her son, Damian Hurley, commented that he was excited, while other followers posted messages anticipating the show and noting her robe.
The actress also shared a photograph of a flower arrangement with a handwritten card reading, “Welcome to The Burbs! Love Celeste.” The flowers appeared to be a welcome from Celeste Hughey, the show’s creator and executive producer.
Hurley is joining the series’ second season as Beverly “Bev” Fisher, the mother of Rob Fisher, a character played by Jack Whitehall. The mystery comedy is loosely inspired by the 1989 film starring Tom Hanks. Its story follows a married couple whose move into the husband’s childhood home brings unsettling secrets to light in an apparently quiet suburban neighborhood. Further details about Hurley’s character and role in the season have not been announced in the source material.
The speculation comes amid Hurley’s public relationship with Cyrus. The pair announced their romance on Easter Sunday in April 2025 by sharing a photograph of Cyrus kissing Hurley on the cheek. They first met while working on the 2022 holiday movie “Christmas in Paradise,” but their relationship began later, after they reconnected.
Cyrus has described Hurley reaching out with a supportive message during a difficult period after the two had gone about two years without speaking. In an appearance on Apple Music Country’s “The Ty Bentli Show,” quoted by People, he recalled that they had shared only a few scenes in the film but felt chemistry and laughed together. He said the relationship had made him happy after a challenging stretch.
Hurley discussed their life across two countries during a July 2026 appearance on the British television program “This Morning.” Asked about their blended families and time split between the United States and England, she called the arrangement “great.” Hurley said Cyrus had spent extended periods at her home in the English countryside and enjoyed being there.
She also joked that Cyrus was trying to learn household tasks, including cooking, so he could bring her breakfast. Hurley said he had not yet mastered that, but had helped pick apples from her orchard.
Fox News Digital said it contacted a representative for Hurley for comment about the ring. The supplied report does not include a response. With no confirmation from Hurley or other information establishing the ring’s purpose, the photos alone do not show whether it is connected to an engagement or marriage.
