Elizabeth Hurley attended the London premiere of her new film Strictly Confidential with her son, Damion, who wrote and directed the movie. Also present at the event were two of Hurley’s exes, Hugh Grant and Arun Nayar. Despite Grant being one of Damion’s godfathers, Hurley and Grant never considered having children during their 13-year relationship. Hurley later welcomed her son with ex Steve Bing, while Grant now has five children of his own with various partners.
Hurley praised Grant for being a good father to his children, whom she said adore him. Despite their past relationship, Hurley and Grant have remained close friends over the years. They first met on the set of their film Remando Al Viento in 1987 and split in 2000 after Grant was caught with a prostitute. Hurley revealed in 2016 that she still spoke to Grant daily and considered him her best friend.
After her relationship with Bing ended, Hurley moved on to marry Nayar in 2007, but their marriage lasted only four years before they divorced in 2011. Hurley announced their split on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after it happened, stating that their close friends and family were already aware of the separation. Bing, the father of Hurley’s son Damion, initially denied being the father, but a DNA test later confirmed it. Bing passed away in June 2020 at the age of 55.
Despite their past relationships and subsequent breakups, Hurley, Grant, and Nayar showed that they are still on friendly terms by attending the premiere of Strictly Confidential. Hurley looked stunning in a green gown, while Nayar and Grant also dressed elegantly for the event. Hurley shared anecdotes from her time with Grant, including playful discussions about what their children would look like if they had chosen to have them during their relationship.
Hurley discussed her former relationships openly during an interview with host Andy Cohen, reflecting on her time with Grant and Bing. She highlighted Grant’s role as a good father and expressed admiration for the bond he shares with his children. Hurley’s openness about her past and her ability to maintain positive relationships with her exes, including attending events together, shows her maturity and ability to move forward with positivity in her life. Despite the ups and downs of their romantic history, Hurley, Grant, and Nayar have shown that it is possible to remain amicable and supportive of each other in the aftermath of a breakup.
