HOW HUGH GRANT MISSED A HUGE BROOD

Hurley, 43, and Grant, 47, dated for 13 years before parting ways in 2000. They’ve managed to remain close friends to this day.

The pals even joke that they would now be parents to an enormous brood if they hadn’t chosen to end their relationship.

Liz, who has one son, Damian, six, by film producer Steve Bing, tells next month’s Harper’s Bazaar magazine: “Hugh and I can get morbid and say we could have had five children by now because we were together since I was 21. There was never a time when either of us wanted it.”

The sometime actress, who has been married to Indian businessman Arun Nayar for a year, insists she would like to see Grant finally settled down.

“Women flock to Hugh. He’s like Austin Powers. Everyone worships him,” she adds.
