Is there hope for Divine Brown yet? Hugh Grant, a onetime Sunset Strip patron of Miss Brown, and longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley today confirmed that they’ve parted romantic ways after 13 years.
Although the tabloids have had Hurley dating up a storm of late, the couple, in a statement, insisted that “no third parties” were involved. Curiously, the pair also termed the split a “temporary thing” (that nonetheless required a press release, of course).
“It is a mutual and amicable decision,” the joint statement read.
Grant, 39, and Hurley, 34, began dating in 1986. They have appeared together in a movie just once — 1988’s “Rowing With the Wind.”
Aside from the Divine Brown thing, Grant is best known for flummoxing his way through romantic comedies (“Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Notting Hill“); Hurley is a model/actress (“Austin Powers“).
