London, May 18 (IANS) Actress Liz Hurley admits that her ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant still understands her better than anyone else.

The 44-year-old actress, who married Indian entrepreneur Arun Nayyar in 2007, met Grant in 1987 when they were both struggling actors. However, after 13 years of relationship, the couple announced amicable split in 2000.

"My overall best friend is Hugh. My "current affairs" best friend is Arun, because we speak to each other all day, every day" said Hurley.

"My sister Katie is my loyal best friend. But there is a part of my life neither Arun nor Katie understand; a career part and a different emotional level where Hugh is still my number one. We've been best friends for 24 years and that's not nothing," she said.

She also reveals that Grant is an excellent godfather to her son Damian, with US businessman Steve Bing and has now become a part of family, reports dailymail.co.uk.

"He's a part of our family - we all go on holiday together and Arun and Hugh get on incredibly well. We're all grown up, and if I wanted to be with Hugh, we would be together," she added.
