Liz Hurley says single motherhood 'sucks'

Liz Hurley

Liz Hurley has declared single motherhood "sucks" and made a plea for boyfriend Arun Nayar to propose.

The model and sometime actress, who turns 40 in June, desperately wants another child but insists on being married first. She has brought up her 3-year-old son Damian alone after an acrimonious split from his father, billionaire Steve Bing.

"I've been a single mother once and I am sure every single mother in the world would agree with me - it sucks," she told ES magazine.

"I can see why it is important for people to declare their intentions, make vows, and make proper, above-board plans for everybody, because that clarifies and simplifies things."

Hurley has dated Indian businessman Nayar for the past two years. He is divorcing his first wife, Valentina Pedroni.
