The model, 49, who was stopped by Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live", said they ended their longterm relationship amicably.
"I love him, but he's very annoying," Hurley told host Andy Cohen.
Hurley said the bothersome personality trait that led to the end of their 13-year relationship in 2000.
"My friends used to call him Grumpelstiltskin. He is grumpy," she added.
But Hurley said the British hunk is a hands-on father.
"He's a spectacular father... He sees all three of them every single day... All the kids have come to stay with me before and he's really come into his own."
