Elizabeth Hurley still close to Hugh Grant

The 45-year-old beauty, who dated the 'Noting Hill' star for 13 years until 2000, said though they quarrel all the time, she loves nothing more than spending time with Grant, reported Contactmusic.

"Hugh and I met in 1987 on the set on a movie in Madrid and have been best friend ever since. I completely consider him one of my family and love spending time with him, even though we annoy each other at times.

"We rarely get through a day without fighting, but we always end up laughing," said Hurley, who is in the process of divorcing husband Arun Nayar. Although Hurley thinks the idea of her ever being romantically involved with Grant again is "preposterous", she imagines they could end up living like a married couple.

"It makes us laugh as the idea is sort of preposterous. We've often said though, if all else fails, we'll end up living together again."

The pair are so close the 50-year-old actor is even godfather to Hurley's son Damian and has a close relationship to the nine-year-old boy.

"Damian adores his godfather and Hugh is great with him."
