Ever since her romance with Indian businessman Arun Nayar began in 2002, Elizabeth Hurley has studiously avoided revealing any details of their plans for the future.
The 41-year-old beauty has now broken her silence and confirmed that she and her leading man are indeed planning a trip down the aisle, as well as making a new addition to their family.
"I cannot reveal to you the exact date, but it is very close," confessed the Estee Lauder model. "We are even thinking of having a child."
Speaking in an interview with Vanity Fair, the glamorous Londoner said she felt like she had been "struck by a lightning bolt" when she first laid eyes on the Indian millionaire. And she also told of how the handsome entrepreneur has developed a loving relationship with her little boy Damian. "When I was on a photoshoot recently Arun and Damian went to St Tropez on their first holiday together without me," she revealed. "Damian adores Arun – they have a great relationship."
Asked how she felt about the prospect of married life, the mum of one said she got plenty of practise during her years with Hugh Grant. "I'll let you know when I get married," she said. "I was with Hugh for 13 years and we were like husband and wife so I don't think there will be any great difference."
