Liz Hurley and Arun NayarDespite recent denials to the contrary, Liz Hurley has told the Italian edition of Vanity Fair that she is planning to marry her partner Arun Nayar some time in the near future.

She told the magazine: “I cannot reveal to you the exact date but it is very close. We are even thinking of having a child.”

It will be Liz’s first marriage and when asked if she thinks she’ll like being married, she replied: “I’ll let you know. 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.”

She also commented on how much her four year old son Damian likes Arun: “When I was on a photoshoot recently, Arun and Damian went to St Tropez on their first holiday together without me.”

“They were on a mission to look at all the women in bikinis and make notes for market research [for Liz’s swimwear range]. Damian adores Arun, they have a great relationship.”
