Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley Heading to Couples Therapy After Stories of Her ‘Wild Years’ Resurface (Exclusive)

Billy Ray Cyrus is madly in love with Elizabeth Hurley, but they’re both dealing with some concerns over each other’s past — now, a source tells the National Enquirer that they’re heading to couples therapy to iron out their issues before taking the next step in their relationship.

“Billy Ray’s head over heels for Liz, but he’s starting to realize just how colorful her past really is, and it’s throwing him a little,” the source says. “The more stories he hears about her wild years in London, the high-society parties, and some of the company she kept back then, the more uneasy he gets.”

The source describes Cyrus, 64, as “a small-town guy at heart” and adds that “it’s tough for him not to be a little shocked and weirded out.”

“Fact is, for all his years in Hollywood he’s lived a pretty sheltered life,” the source explains. “He’s been a family man for most of his life in the spotlight, so the world Liz comes from is really foreign to him.”

“It doesn’t help that there always seems to be another surprise around the corner with Liz, and it’s caused some tension,” the source continues. “They’ve decided to get some couples therapy to work through it all because they both really want this relationship to last.”

This isn’t the first bump in the road the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer has run into during his relationship with Hurley, 60. As the Enquirer previously reported, Cyrus isn’t happy with how close she is with some of her exes, including the fact that she still texts Hugh Grant.

“Billy Ray doesn’t get it and he doesn’t like it,” a source shared at the time. “He’s not friends with any of his exes and doesn’t see why Liz is.”
