Elizabeth Jane Hurley, also known as Liz Hurley, was born in 1965 in England. She is the daughter of Roy Leonard Hurley and Angela Mary. As a child, Elizabeth aspired to become a dancer and attended ballet classes at the London Studio Centre. Her early interest in performance eventually led her toward a successful career in modeling and acting.
Elizabeth Hurley's modeling career began with her first contract at Estée Lauder. She made her debut with the company at the age of 29, which was considered late for a traditional modeling start. Nonetheless, she became one of the brand's most recognizable faces, featured in campaigns for products such as Pleasures, Intuition, and Sensuous. Over time, she retained a longstanding association with Estée Lauder. In addition to modeling, Hurley launched her own beachwear line, Elizabeth Hurley Beach, which has contributed to her business profile and presence in the fashion industry.
In parallel to modeling, Hurley found success in the film industry. She is perhaps best known for her role as Vanessa Kensington in the 1997 spy comedy, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, alongside Mike Myers. Another notable performance was in the 2000 romantic comedy Bedazzled, where she starred as the Devil. Her roles in these films solidified her Hollywood credentials during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Hurley first gained wider public attention during the 1990s, particularly due to her high-profile relationship with actor Hugh Grant. Grant’s international fame, which surged after the release of Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994, helped bring additional spotlight to Hurley, who was then building her own career in entertainment.
Hurley’s long-term relationship with Hugh Grant lasted for 13 years, ending in 2000. Despite parting ways, the two have remained close friends, and Grant is the godfather of her son, Damian. The biological father of Damian is American businessman Steve Bing, who publicly acknowledged paternity following a DNA test.
After her relationship with Grant, Hurley dated and later married Arun Nayar, an Indian businessman and heir to a textile empire. Their wedding was widely covered in the media and featured multi-day celebrations across Europe and India. However, the couple divorced after three years.
