In 2001, Hurley and then-lover Steve Bing were involved in a publicized paternity dispute over her first child Damien. The dispute started when a friend of Hurley's leaked to the press that she was pregnant with her first child and the child was Bing's.http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2001/dec/11/gender.uk1 Millionaire Bing publicly denied the baby was his and said that he and Hurley had not been in an "exclusive" relationship.http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2001/dec/11/gender.uk1 The couple's child was born on April 4, 2002. That month Bing began legal proceedings to determine whether he was the father. In June, 2002, DNA tests found Bing was the father. The matter was settled in the High Court of London.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/06/19/entertainment/main512777.shtml

"Damian was only six months when Arun came to live with us, so he knows Arun, qnd he knows Arun is not his blood father. He calls him Dad and he is his dad for all intents and purposes. But no, he knows everything,"—Interview for website Independent Woman on March 7, 2010http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/independent-woman/celebrity-news-gossip/liz-hurley-beauty-and--the-beasts-2091450.html

"I've been doing a whole heap of advertising, and that's been really interesting and fabulous! And a few of them have been high-profile which people see, and a few of them are zooming off somewhere and nobody sees them, but they've all been fabulous in different ways. I did Magnum for Turkey! You know, the ice creams, ha ha! I ate about fifty thousand, which was actually enormous fun,"—Interview with The Guardian newspaper's Polly Vernon on January 15, 2006http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2006/jan/15/features.woman9
