Damian Hurley Praises Mom, Elizabeth Hurley, for Being “800 Parents in One” After She Raised Him All Alone

The husband of Elizabeth Hurley, a multi-millionaire Steve Bing, insisted on taking a DNA test before he would ever admit he was the father of Damian Hurley. Elizabeth Hurley had to raise their son all alone, and she managed to be a super-loving mom despite this bitter parenting dispute with Damian’s dad. Now, her son is all grown up, and he candidly speaks about his gratitude to the most beloved woman in his life, his mom.

Elizabeth had to go through many challenges of being a single mom.

Actress Elizabeth Hurley, 58, conceived her only son during a very short relationship with Steve Bing. It happened soon after she split from Hugh Grant in 2000. Damian was born in 2002, but his dad didn’t want to confirm his paternity, claiming that he and Elizabeth were in a non-exclusive relationship.

Later, a DNA test proved that Steve was Damian’s father. However, the multi-millionaire did not become part of Damian’s life. The two may have never even met. Bing died in 2020 and cut Damian and his other daughter out of his will when their grandfather claimed the inheritance, saying both kids were born out of wedlock.

Mother and son now have an incredible bond.

Now Damian Hurley is all grown up. The young man highly praises his mom, Elizabeth, saying she filled the role of “800 parents at the same time”. Damian revealed that they are so close they feel like “siblings.”

Damian is a filmmaker and a model, and he says he does not feel like he was deprived of anything growing up with a single mom.

Damian is proud to be following his mom’s footsteps.

Damian Hurley was employed by the modeling agency Tess Management in 2018. He also went to the £37,000-a-year Wellington College in Berkshire.

“Many people are critical of sending their children away so young, but he liked it. He loved his school, had great friends, and it was a great adventure for him,” said Elizabeth of her decision to send him there.

Damian is now taking after his famous mom and trying to break into Hollywood with his first role behind the camera, directing the thriller Strictly Confidential.

And here’s yet another story about a single mom, Sofia Vergara. The actress opened up about all the challenges of motherhood that she had to face while being only 19.
