CRICKET superstar, Shane Warne, has passed away at the early age of 52 after suffering a suspected heart attack.
The late athlete was once linked to actress, Elizabeth Hurley – a flame that ended prematurely.
When did Shane Warne date Liz Hurley?
Late Australian cricket legend, Shane Warne, aged 52, and The Royals star, Elizabeth Hurley, 56, dated for nearly three years between 2010 and 2013.
The pair were even engaged in late 2011, but ended off cancelling the wedding in 2013 after breaking up.
On the six-part Fox Australia series, “A Week with Warnie”, Warne opened up about his feelings for Hurley.
“When she first came to Australia we had been seeing each other for about six months or so, so I didn’t introduce her to my children until it was real and I believed it had a future – it wasn’t just a bit of fun.”
He admitted in 2020 that he “still cares” about his ex-fiance and is “sad” about the split.
“[I’m] quite sad it’s over because I still care about her deeply and she’s a wonderful person.”
What happened between Shane Warne and Liz Hurley?
Having both come out of previous marriages, the pair got together in late 2010 after meeting at the races, but weren’t quite ready for the stir that it would cause.
Warne told Fox Australia that “I suppose it was the sporting world meeting her world… It was one of those things where we just collided…
“So six months down the track she finally comes to meet the children in Australia and it was an absolute circus.
“I mean, the next door neighbour’s kids were selling cordial for a buck out the front!”
He credits the media for making their relationship harder than it should have been.
The pair could not go out together without photographers, news crews, helicopters tracking their every move.
What did Warne say in response to Woman’s Day magazine’s article?
In August of 2021, Woman’s Day Magazine, Australia, released an article with the first lines: “Shane Warne is open to getting married again and it seems he’s already in hot pursuit of his chosen lady – his real-life runaway bride Liz Hurley!”
Warne has blasted the magazine for suggesting he had rekindled his relationship Hurley.
The athlete took to Twitter to call out Women’s Day:
“For 30 years my children & I have had to put up with your lies & fabricated stories – well not anymore,” he wrote.
“You should not be allowed to just make things up. You are going to apologize to the Aust public for your continual lies & my family as this is an absolute disgrace – AGAIN!”
Did Shane Warne and Liz Hurley have any children together?
Warne and Hurley did not have any reported children together.
Warne was previously married to Simone Callahan, with whom he has three kids.
While Hurley famously dated Hugh Grant in the 1990s, before going on to marry Arun Nayar.
The Austin Powers star has one son, Damian, fathered by American businessman Steve Bing.
