Liz has laughed off reports she is set to wed - Dec 8, 2020
Liz Hurley has laughed off reports she is set to wed lover Arun Nayer - insisting she isn’t even engaged. The brunette beauty insists claims the pair are tying the knot in India next year are untrue - and says she doesn’t even want an engagement ring for Christmas.
The actress told The Sun newspaper: "Look at my hand - no diamonds. "We haven’t even got engaged. We’re not getting ready for the big day yet." When asked if she hoped to unwrap a diamond from tycoon Nayer this Christmas, the stunning star replied; "No, I’ve asked for a herd of cows."
Nayer was officially divorced from his first wife earlier this year - leaving him free to wed Liz. A source close to Liz and Nayer - who was married to Italian model Valentina Pedroni for seven years - said at the time: "Elizabeth is delighted that Arun’s divorce has finally come through. It was all very hush-hush and very rushed through an English court. "Very few people knew it had been finalised."
Liz Hurley’s lover’s divorce has come through - Nov 08, 2020
Liz Hurley’s lover’s divorce from his first wife has finally come through - leaving him free to marry the beautiful actress. Indian businessman Arun Nayer was thrilled when he was granted a divorce through the English courts ten days ago and the pair have now flown to his native country to start planning the wedding.
A source close to Liz and Arun - who was married to Italian model Valentina Pedroni for seven years - told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Elizabeth is delighted that Arun’s divorce has finally come through. It was all very hush-hush and very rushed through an English court. Very few people knew it had been finalised. Like Liz and Arun, Valentina had tired of the whole sorry saga and just wanted it to be over." Liz, 40, has reportedly told friends the couple plan to wed in the new year.
Earlier this year, the ’Austin Powers’ beauty revealed she is desperate to have a baby with Arun - and would love to have twins. The sexy model, who has a three-year-old son, Damian, by ex-boyfriend Steve Bing, says she finds it hard being a single mother and wants someone to share the joys of parenting with. She said at the time: "I’ve been a single mother once. And I am sure every single mother in the world would agree with me - it sucks. Arun would love another baby and I’d love another one too. I don’t know how much time there is for many but I’d secretly like twins."

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.
