It’s no secret that 58-year-old Elizabeth Hurley is incredibly close to her 21-year-old son, Damian Hurley, whom she has raised as a single mother since his birth in 2002.

In fact, in 2018, Elizabeth went so far as to call Damian her “soulmate” during an interview with the Telegraph, where she explained, “Given I’m a single mother and he’s an only child, by default we spend a lot of time together and we are utterly comfortable in each other’s company.

"I rather think I've simply been blessed with a child whose personality gels with mine,” she continued. "Friends who have several children always admit, although they love them all equally, inevitably there's one whose personality mirrors their own and they 'get' each other better."

But the pair’s closeness has often raised eyebrows, with the actor previously being forced to defend herself after revealing that she enlists Damian to take her sexy bikini photos for Instagram.

At the time, people called Liz’s revelation “weird” and “creepy,” but she insisted that it is simply because her son has “a really good eye” for photography.
