Damián Hurley's early life
Damián Hurley was born in Portland Hospital, London. For some time, there was controversy surrounding his birth. His father, American businessman Steve Bing, thought the boy was not his son until the result of a DNA test proved otherwise.
What is the relationship between Elizabeth and Damián Hurley?
Damián is the spitting image of his mother, Elizabeth Hurley, an English actress and model. He became interested in acting when he followed his mother to movie sets. Damián was loved by his mother's co-actors and sometimes read their scripts and acted their prompts.
The model grew up in Gloucester, England, with his mother and her then-spouse, Indian business tycoon Arun Nayar. He also spent some of his childhood in Australia because of his mother's relationship with Australian cricket player Shane Warne.
Growing up, he had godfathers like David Beckham, Patsy Kensi, Henry Dent Brocklehurst, and Elton John and John’s husband, David Furnish, as his father figures and role models.
Liz Hurley and Steve Bing dated from 2000 until 2002, when she fell pregnant, which sparked a bitter paternity fight. Steve Bing wrote a will a year 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 tennis star Lisa Bonder 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.
What happened to Damián Hurley's father?
Steve Bing jumped to his death from his 27th-floor LA apartment in June 2020, aged. Steve Bing is not thought to have been close with either of his children but supported them financially. He also had paid $100k a year into a trust fund for Damián to access when he turned 18.
