Liz Hurley and her son, Damian, have confirmed they're both seeing people, but will keep the details "private" after being stung in the past.

The pair share an incredibly close bond, showcased in director Damian's steamy thriller, Strictly Confidential, in which the 22-year-old directs his mum, 58, in a sex scene. They've previously remained tight-lipped about their love lives, but have now opened up about dating, as Damian confirms he's made a mutual decision with the Bedazzled star.

Speaking about love and life in the public eye, he said: "We are seeing people at the moment, but we're both quite private. I've seen first-hand how devastating relationships in the public eye can become, and we've both made a decision that until somebody is incredibly serious, we're not going to speak publicly about who we're seeing."

The pair have raised eyebrows over their close relationship, however one thing they don't discuss is each other's love lives. "Although we are close in a myriad of ways, that's not one of them," Liz, told Hello! magazine.

The actress, who remains close to her exes, Hugh Grant and Arun Nayer, said she thinks carefully about who she is dating knowing "that it will cross over with Damian's life". She added: "I'd never jeopardise our family dynamic".

Liz and Damian hit the headlines after the filmmaker Damian admitted that his famous mum was the only person he saw fit for the role of Lily in his new film, Strictly Confidential. In the flick, Liz engages in a sexual scene with her female co-star Pear Chiravara, who plays Natasha, in the movie that her son directed.

Despite the film causing confusion with critics, Damian and Liz have hit out at the backlash and defended their bond. Speaking to Hello!, Liz said: "Here's the thing: in real life, I don't think I've ever kissed anyone in front of Damian. He's been on my film sets since he was eight years old, and he's frequently seen me kiss people, and it's not that sexy." Damian added: "It's business. When you've still got seven scenes to get through, it's the last thing on one's mind."

Damian has grown up in the spotlight and experienced some incredibly tragic moments with his mum. In 2020, his biological father, producer and property heir Steve Bing - who demanded a paternity test to establish he was Damian's son - jumped 27 floors to his death. Then in 2022, his former stepdad, cricketer Shane Warne, died of a heart attack, nine years after him and Liz separated.

Speaking about the grief he felt, the director told The Guardian: "The kind of grief I felt when my biological father took his life versus the kind when Shane died naturally - I mean, they were polar opposites. Devastating but totally different."
