Elizabeth Hurley recalls she and ex Hugh Grant used to 'bicker for hours' about having children
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Elizabeth Hurley shared she "never" considered welcoming a baby with her ex Hugh Grant as they used to always bicker about how the child would look.
During her Friday, April 5, appearance on SiriusXM’s 'Radio Andy', hosted by Andy Cohen, the 58-year-old actress disclosed hilarious tales from the time she used to date the 63-year-old 'Notting Hill' star.
Elizabeth and Grant sparked romance after first meeting on the sets of the Spanish film 'Remando Al Viento' in 1987. They parted ways in 2000, but have remained good friends.

During the interview, the host and Bravo boss, Cohen, asked Elizabeth whether she ever considered having a baby with Grant, to which she replied in negative, as per Us Weekly.
The 'Bedazzled' star explained, "You know, you think all that, but of course, had that happened I wouldn’t have [this] baby," referring to her son, Damian Hurley, 22, who she welcomed with businessman Stephen Bing.
She continued, "You can never regret anything that didn't happen."
'The Royals' actress further shared that even though they didn’t seriously consider the prospect of having a baby, they have thought about it as they used to fight about the child's looks.
She expressed, "Of course, we used to think about it because we used to fight all day. We used to look in the mirror next to each other and say, ‘It’d have to be my eyes.’ ‘No, my eyes.’ ‘Your hair.’ ‘No, my hair!’ … So we used to bicker for hours about who would look like who."
"And of course, none of his children look like him, as it happens," quipped Elizabeth, referring to Grant's five children.
The actress praised him saying, "He’s a very good dad. He has five children that worship him. They adore him. They sit on daddy’s knee and all that stuff."
Even after their 2000 break up, the former couple remained friends with the 'Serving Sara' star making Grant her son's only godparent. The 'Love Actually' actor, in turn, made Elizabeth the godmother to one of his children.
Grant went on to embrace fatherhood after welcoming two children, Tabitha Xiao Xi, 12, and Felix Chang Hong, 11, with ex-girlfriend Tinglan Hong.
The actor and his wife, Anna Eberstein, share three children, John Mungo, 11, an eight-year-old, and a five-year-old.

15 years after her break up with Grant, Elizabeth opened up about her equation with Grant.
During a March 2015 appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen', she shared, "He remains my best friend to this day, but ... he really used to annoy me. I love him, but he’s very annoying."
She also disclosed that her friends gave Grant the moniker "Grumpelstiltskin."
In the same month, Elizabeth got candid about her friendship with Grant during an interview with Access Hollywood, saying, "I mean, there wasn't a question of us not being best friends," as per Us Weekly.
She continued, "I think when you've been with someone for a long time, they are family. And to me, he's like a big brother. Or not even a big brother, 'cause sometimes I'm more grown up than him. But we're like siblings now."
The actress clarified that while they are no longer romantically interested in each other, there is an all-prevailing love between them.
"No, there's no romantic flicker, but we love each other a lot," said Elizabeth, before adding, "I mean, I love him passionately. I love him like I love my son and my brother, and I used to love my father. It's a grand passion."
"But I think it's quite nice when you realize you can have a passionate friendship with someone, but it's not actually sexual. It's just really intense feelings of love, I guess," asserted the 'Austin Powers' star.
