Damian Hurley shared an album of cozy snaps with a friend he called his “lover” on Monday.
The actor and model, 22, posted on his Instagram to mark the mystery woman’s birthday by saying, “thank God for you” in the caption.
Damian, the son of Elizabeth Hurley and Steve Bing, did not tag the woman or confirm whether it was a romantic relationship or not.
One snap showed them at an event for their film Strictly Confidential, while another saw them snuggled up in a gallery.
He wrote in the caption: “my lover’s birthday, thank God for you Xx.”
Many fans asked who the beautiful woman was as they wrote in the comments: ‘Lover????? Is she a new girlfriend???’
Damian Hurley shared an album of cozy snaps with a friend he called his ‘lover’ on Monday.

Another added: ‘I’m so happy for you two!’
Elizabeth has been helping her son Damian, her only child from a previous relationship with American businessman Steve, forge his own path as a budding film director.
His first feature film Strictly Confidential, written and directed by the 22-year-old, received lukewarm reviews in 2023.
Much of the criticism revolved around Hurley herself, whose starring role in the film includes a raunchy lesbian sex scene with a woman 30 years her junior, filmed by her son.
“It’s pretty interesting because I’m a single mom and he’s a single son, so by default we spend a lot of time together,” she explained last month.
‘When he was very young, he became fascinated with my business. He started taking photographs and making mini-movies when he was nine or ten years old. I gave him a camcorder and he made me star in all his movies.
“I was always playing the Evil Queen. My mother was in them, Hugh was in them, my ex-husband, everyone had to be in his movies, as he progressed from baby movies to more adult movies.
“Anyway, he’s been managing me for ten years, so nothing really changed. I was used to it.

Liz became a household name overnight when she arrived arm in arm with Hugh Grant in a Versace dress at the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral.
And she credits their relationship for helping her get through a crucial time in her life.
However, the star recently admitted that they no longer see each other, despite remaining firm friends after their amicable split in 2000.
Appearing at the Bazaar At Work summit in London last month, she said: “I was with my ex, Hugh Grant, so it happened to both of us at the same time.”
‘Like me, he had also worked a lot and thought he was doing pretty well, until Four Weddings and a Funeral came out and suddenly he was completely different: he was a phenomenon.
‘The film was a huge success and everything changed. But there were two of us and I think that helped enormously. When you suddenly become the center of attention, your lives are not prepared for it.
And he added: “You have no protection.” It was alarming. The press was much ruder in the 90s and 2000s than it is now. I really think people aren’t allowed to be as rude as they were back then.

‘I think it creates a bond when you go into the trenches with someone. I mean, he’s married and has five kids. I hardly ever see him, but I still hold him very close to my heart.’
Reflecting on her iconic dress, which she borrowed as a last-minute favor from Dean Aslett, then director of women’s fashion and atelier at Versace, Hurley admits she was stunned by the attention she received.
“It was very strange,” he recalled. ‘I had been working for a few years and, in my opinion, I thought I was quite famous; I had been in some things.
‘For my family, I was a success; but I had no idea what it really meant to be in the public eye. This was a real shock to one’s psyche.’
