When questioned about whether she and Grant ever discussed having children during their relationship, Hurley provided a candid response. She admitted that parenthood was “never” on the table for them, but they did engage in playful discussions about what their hypothetical offspring would look like. Hurley emphasized that while they entertained the idea of having children together, they never regretted not pursuing it, especially considering Damian's birth. 

She exclaimed, “You know, you'd think all that, but of course, had that happened, I wouldn't have baby [Damian], so you could never regret anything.” She reflected on their playful banter and fondly recalled their spirited debates about their future children's features. Hurley recounted lighthearted debates where they would banter over which traits their children would inherit from each of them, showcasing their affectionate yet competitive relationship. 


The British model added, “Of course, we used to think about it because we used to fight all day. We used to look in the mirror next to each other and say, 'It would have to be my eyes.' 'No, my eyes.' 'Your hair?' 'No, my hair. I've got a much better mouth.' So, we used to bicker for hours about who would look like who and, of course, none of his children look like him as it happened." 

In conclusion, Elizabeth Hurley's revelations offer a glimpse into her relationship with Hugh Grant and their perspectives on parenthood. Despite their romantic relationship ending without children, they maintained a supportive friendship and celebrated each other's roles as parents.
