The pair first met in 2022 playing the romantic leads on movie Christmas In Paradise.

However, The Sun can reveal they reconnected last year when he turned to the actress and model for help as his third marriage crumbled.

And now pals say Liz and Billy have grown closer in recent months - with the Austin Powers actress unable to resist his charms.

An insider said: "Everyone is saying Billy and Liz are world’s apart, but actually they are very similar.

“They have a lot in common and have the same interests.

“Billy is also very much her type - he has a real twinkle in his eye and a naughty streak that she can’t resist."

Liz, has a history of dating troubled men, including love cheats Hugh Grant and the late cricketer Shane Warne.

Although Liz is aware that Billy is not perfect, she is determined to follow her heart and sees a real future with the Achy Breaky Heart singer.

Liz's new romance comes 12 years after she and ex-fiance Shane split in 2013.

“He really reminds her of Shane Warne, they have a very similar energy about them," they continued.

“Liz has a really good time with Billy they share a lot of laughs and he is a real flirt, which she loves.

“Shane was the love of her life and it has taken her years to be able to move on but she finally feels like she is able to.

“Billy isn’t perfect and neither was Shane but Liz truly believes they have a strong future together.

“She is nearly 60 and deep down does want to share her life with someone and settle down.

“Everyone is saying he could be the one, so don’t be surprised if she marries again.”

The Sun revealed that Liz and Billy reconnected last year.

A source said: “Liz has been keeping the whole thing under wraps and has barely told anyone.

“She wanted to make sure there was really something special between them before telling the world.

“There has always been a spark, but he reached out again last year when his short-lived third marriage ended.

“He has had a really hard time, but she has been there helping him turn things around.

“Liz has been really great for him, but her friends are cautious because of what’s been said in the past about him.

“She insists he has turned a corner and is a changed man.”

The couple went public with their relationship on Sunday, when Liz shared a photo on Instagram of Billy, 63, kissing her.

Alongside the picture, she simply wrote, “Happy Easter”, followed by a heart emoji.

Showing his support for the romance, her son Damian commented with party and heart emojis.

But, tellingly, none of his six children have acknowledged the post.

That is because the Cyrus family fell into a divisive feud in 2022, when it was announced that Billy Ray and Tish — who is pop sensation Miley Cyrus’s mum — were divorcing after 29 years of marriage.

The chasm widened when, just months later, Billy got engaged to Australian singer Firerose, who is only four years older than Miley.

But Billy and Firerose finalised her divorce in August 2024 after less than a year of marriage.
