Elizabeth Hurley And Billionaire Husband Break Up Amid Reports She Cheated

Actress Elizabeth Hurley's marriage to businessman Arun Nayar is likely over. Everyone knew Elizabeth Hurley's three-year marriage to Indian billionaire Arun Nayar was on the rocks so this should come as no surprise. Over the weekend Elizabeth Hurley announced that she split up with her husband, textile heir Arun Nayar, via Twitter:

Not a great day. For the record, my husband Arun & I separated a few months ago. Our close family & friends were aware of this

The "not a great day" reference is the fact that British tabloid News of the World exposed her affair to cricket legend Shane Warne in a story published on Sunday. The scandalous article was accompanied by CCTV images showing Hurley and Warne kissing in a doorway. So Elizabeth's announcement comes amid the well detailed report that she spent the night at a London hotel with the Australian cricket player. And she cannot dismiss these claims because the tabloid have pictures and video of her and Shane Warne kissing, and says that they spent the night together Wednesday at London's Bentley Hotel which is easily confirm thanks to the CCTV cameras. A source told the Mirror:

"It's more than just a fling, Liz is really falling for Shane. He has been a real support through the tough time she's had splitting with Arun.

"Shane is mesmerised by Liz. She's the first person he has felt so strongly about since his divorce. They have so much chemistry. They have grown very close and there is an intimate bond between them. The only thing standing in their way is the geography."

How much of a bad ass must this Shane guy feel like stealing a billionaire's woman? Go ask his wife... Elizabeth's rumored cheating partner, married father and cricket player Shane Warne, has addressed his status on his blog:

Sadly and unfortunately, Simone and I split up a while ago, our close friends and family were informed at that time. It is a private matter so we did not make it public. We remain friends and will continue to be good parents.

The actress has an eight-year-old son with Steve Bing and previously dated Hugh Grant for 13 years. Earlier this year she said that Hugh is "still my number one" because there are parts of her life Arun does not understand. Hint... Hint... LOL! After ending her 13-year romance with Hugh Grant in 2000, Hurley began dating Indian textile heir Nayar in 2002. The duo wed lavishly in March 2007 -- first at a castle in England where the couple exchanged vows in an Anglican ceremony before 300 guests, and then at a palace in Jodhpur, India with a sumptuous week-long celebration.
