The 46-year-old, who is engaged to Australian cricketer Shane Warne since October, dated Grant for nearly 13 years before splitting up in 2000. The duo have since maintained a healthy friendship, reported Sun online.
"It is hard for six months to compete with 20 years on a friendship level. I do not think either of us can imagine not having the other in our lives. Shane and Hugh get on very well and that's very important to me," Hurley said.
The actress later went on to marry Indian textile heir Arun Nayar but filed for divorce after four years.
Hurley also has a son named Damian Charles Hurley with Steve Bing, with whom she had a brief relationship in 2002.
