Shane Warne’s eldest child Brooke appears to have given Elizabeth Hurley’s new romance with Billy Ray Cyrus her seal of approval.
The 27-year-old influencer’s cricketer father and Hurley famously dated, with Warne proposing in 2011.
On Wednesday, Hurley shared a gallery of photos to Instagram which captured her posing up a storm and riding in a jeep, tagging Billy Ray, 63.
Brooke appeared to approve of Hurley’s new relationship, writing ‘gorgeous’ beside the gallery and adding a love heart and cowboy emoji.
Hurley and Warne called time on their relationship in 2013.
She is still close with Warne’s three children – Brooke, Jackson and Summer – and caught up with them last year while in Australia for the Melbourne Cup.

Hurley and Cyrus confirmed their relationship on Easter Sunday by going Instagram official in a steamy social media post.
‘They have been friends for years but it turned romantic recently,’ a source told Us Weekly on Monday, confirming the pair are ‘dating’ and that it’s ‘going well.’
The insider said the pair ‘bonded over life experiences’ as they’ve ‘both been through a lot in life’ adding the relationship is ‘very recent.’
‘They really understand each other and Liz is a very compassionate person, which Billy Ray adores.’
The actress and model has been spending time with Billy at his Nashville farm, as they both enjoy ‘the low-key, nature-loving lifestyle.’
The pair have ‘just been enjoying life together and wanted to make it public. They have nothing to hide and are very happy.’
They reportedly kept in touch after working together on the 2022 comedy Christmas in Paradise.
Elizabeth later confessed that ‘the opportunity to work with Billy Ray’ was one of the main reasons she shot the Lionsgate sequel to the 2021 flick Father Christmas is Back opposite onscreen dad Kelsey Grammer.

‘I’ve long been a fan of [Cyrus],’ Hurley gushed to MovieWeb in 2022.
‘My son [Damian] was the age where he used to watch Hannah Montana all the time, so of course, I used to watch it with him. I knew Billy Ray really well from that, and of course, some of his music. That was a big plus.’
Indeed, the two-time Grammy winner portrayed widowed single father Robby Ray Stewart in the Disney Channel series from 2006-2011 opposite his real-life estranged daughter Miley Cyrus.
In the picture she posted on Easter, Hurley couldn’t keep the smile off her face as she leaned in for a kiss with Billy, who gave her a peck on the cheek.
The couple even appeared to have coordinated their outfits as Hurley looked stylish in a plaid shirt, cowboy hat, and faded jeans as she leaned against a rustic fence while Billy Ray dressed in full Western gear and a pair of floppy bunny ears.
While the duo didn’t include a caption spelling things out with Hurley only writing ‘Happy Easter’, the photo spoke for itself and marked their first public display as a couple.
