From the relationship, Elizabeth became pregnant. She gave birth to their son Damian Charles Hurley on April 4, 2002. But, Steve denied being his father. Hurley fought legally to prove Bing as the biological father of her baby. After the nasty legal paternity battle, a DNA report finally proved Damian as Elizabeth and Steve’s son.
The 19-years-old Damian is following in his mother’s footsteps. He has played the character in the primetime soap opera The Royals. Also, Damian is signed by the top international modeling agency, IMG Models.

Steve inherited $600 million from his grandfather Leo S. Bing, a real estate developer. Now, after the death of Bing, his father, Dr. Peter Bing, went to court to cut off their inheritance, claiming they were born without ”wedlock.” He also told instead of giving the wealth of ‘grandchildren trust‘ which was set up by him to Damian and Kira, it will apply to Steve’s sister Mary’s daughter Lucy and Anton.
Damian’s mother, Elizabeth, and Kira’s mother, Lisa, also went to court claiming their kid should get an inheritance even if they were born without a marital relationship.
