Liz Hurley and Steve Bing dated from 2000 until 2002, when she fell pregnant. The pregnancy sparked a bitter paternity fight.
Stephe Bing was an American businessman, film producer, investor, and philanthropist. He died on 22 June 2020 at 55 years in Los Angeles, California.
Steve Bing wrote a will before his death, but excluded Damián's name from the will. He wrote:
I have recently been informed by an individual that she is pregnant with my child, and I hereby declare that whether or not such child is mine, it is my intention not to provide in this will for such child (or any other child as to which I may be the father) in this will or for the offspring of any such child or children, whether now living or hereafter born.
The American businessman was also involved in a paternity fight with Lisa Bonder, a tennis star, over daughter Kira Kerkorian (also known as Kira Bonder). The world learned about Kira in a paternity lawsuit between Lisa and her ex-husband, MGM billionaire Kirk Kerkorian.
Even though Steve disowned Kira and Damián, he ensured they were included in their grandfather's trust before his death. Peter wanted to remove both grandchildren from his will, but Liz and Steve hit back and ultimately won the case.
