Liz Hurley and Hugh Grant are
finally making a trip to the altar.
The actress/model/producer plans to marry her long-time boyfriend this spring,
Empire online reports.
Grant ("Notting Hill") and Hurley (Estee Lauder model) have been
dating for 12 years and a friend of the couple said they are finally getting
over their fear of marriage.
"Liz and Hugh have talked, over the years, of getting married," a
friend told Empire. "But as their relationship has normally been splendid,
they didn't want to spoil it with something they regard as so trivial as a
marriage ceremony. But lately they've been talking about a lovely spring
wedding."
Hurley and Grant's relationship has endured its share of bumps along the road.
The two suffered international embarrassment when Grant was arrested in the
company of a prostitute in 1995. But Hurley was reportedly inspired by Hillary
Clinton's loyalty to President Clinton in the wake of the Lewinsky scandal, and
stood by him.
Friends of the couple also say that Hurley is beginning to hear her biological
clock ticking. She recently told the press she wanted children.
