Hugh best man at Liz’s wedding - Aug 2, 2020
Hugh Grant has been asked to be best man at former lover Liz Hurley’s wedding to Arun Naya. The ’Notting Hill’ actor has remained friends with his ex - despite being caught with prostitute Divine Brown during their 13 year relationship - and the couple want him to be part of their big day.
However, Hugh’s current girlfriend Jemima Khan is not happy with Liz’s request and has ordered him to turn down the offer. An insider is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "Jemima and Hugh are besotted with each other. And she is comfortable with his bizarre friendship with Liz, because she knows that Arun and Liz wouldn’t get married unless they were madly in love. "But she is sick of the constant speculation about Hugh and Liz’s friendship, and obviously there will be a media frenzy if Hugh agrees to be Liz’s best man. "Best men have to make irreverent jokes about the bride and groom’s past romances. So he would have to make some reference to his relationship with Liz."
Liz will marry Arun - Aug 1, 2020
Liz Hurley will marry lover Arun Nayer and try for a baby. The model - who has been dating the Indian millionaire since 2003 - has revealed the pair will tie the knot soon and plan to start a family. She said: "I cannot reveal to you the exact date but it is very close. We are even thinking of having a child."
The 41-year-old - who already has a four-year-old son, Damian, from her relationship with movie producer Steve Bing - is confident she will adjust to married life, because her previous relationship with Hugh Grant felt like a marriage. She told the Italian edition of Vanity Fair magazine: "I was with Hugh Grant for 13 years and we were like husband and wife so I don’t think there will be any great difference."
Liz also spoke about her heartbreak when Hugh was caught with prostitute Divine Brown in 1995. She said: "I am not very tolerant. My friends call me ’The Hanging Judge’ but with Hugh it was different. "If you truly love someone then you forgive them and that’s it - and I really loved him. Even now, even though we hardly see each other, I still like him enormously."
Sources claim Liz and Arun will exchange vows next month in an idyllic country wedding.
Liz has denied she is planning to marry Arun - July 24, 2020
Liz Hurley has denied reports she is planning to marry boyfriend Arun Nayer. The ’Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ actress - who has been dating the Indian millionaire for three years - has dismissed rumours she is looking for a place to hold the nuptials.
Liz was asked about her allegedly impending wedding while she attended Capital Radio’s Help A London Child Auction. She said: "It’s not true, it’s all fiction. I’m in the country at the moment and I have about 50 helicopters circling overhead, but all I’ve done is feed the chickens and water the flowers."

At 21, Hurley got her first film role in the 1987 film Aria after having attended the London Studio Centre on scholarship. Hurley’s role in the film Remando al Viento that same year could be considered a crucial one, as it also starred her future boyfriend Hugh Grant.
However, despite acting and modelling jobs it was a certain safety pinned Versace frock that made Liz on of Britain’s most famous faces. She wore what would soon simply be called ’that dress’ to the premiere of Hugh’s breakthrough film Four Weddings and a Funeral. More attention followed when Estee Lauder signed Hurley to be the face of their cosmetics.
Although together for several years, even sticking together through the embarrassing Divine Brown incident, Hugh and Liz split in 2001 although they remain friends to this day. Liz had a brief fling with billionaire Steve Bing, during which she became pregnant with her son Damien. A very public battle occured during her pregnancy with Bing claiming that the child was not his. Liz found vindication when the child was born - not only was he the spit of Bing but a dna test proved without doubt what we could all see.
Liz is now engaged to Indian businessman Arun Nayer and their impending nuptuals have been the source of much speculation with several dates touted and even Hugh Grant has been suggested as Arun’s best man.
Meanwhile Liz’s career has taken a forward leap. Her acting credentials may be lousy (Bedazzled anyone?) and her stint as presenter of Project Catwalk might have been panned but the very British beauty has found her niche. Elizabeth Hurley Beach, her own range of beachwear has been flying off the shelves in the UK and US while her Estee Lauder job goes from strength to strength.
Liz splits her time between Ampney Crucis in the Cotswolds and California.
