Hugh's Coochy-Coos

Liz Hurley has described how ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant is learning to love her baby son Damian.

The pair recently sparked rumours of a rekindled romance after reportedly booking into the same hotel in New York then slipping away for dinner.

But Grant, who is the little boy's godfather, has always claimed he didn't like babies and was bored by them.

Things have changed since Damian was born four months ago, however.

Liz has revealed the About A Boy actor is a regular visitor to her home in South Kensington, west London.

"He's seen quite a bit of Damian because he lives a few houses away from me still and I'm very honoured that he's a godfather," she told Hello! magazine.

"He's pretty good with him.

"But, yeah, he does a little bit of coochy-cooing and he tickles him. He's great with him. He's sweet."

Grant confessed last year that he had no paternal feelings.

"I don't particularly like babies. I don't mind them for about four minutes. That's my max," he said. "A baby is a baby. I'm more interested when they can speak."

But the birth of Damian, whose father is US multimillionaire Steve Bing, seems to have softened him up.
