Elizabeth Hurley and her son, Damian Hurley, are paying their tribute to Shane Warne, Elizabeth's ex-fiancé.
On Saturday, the English actress paid tribute to Warne on Instagram after his untimely death.
Elizabeth, 56, shared a series of throwback photos of herself and Warne from their early-2010s relationship on Instagram. Images of the two sharing a kiss and sitting side-by-side at a cricket match while holding each other's hands are among the photos.
"I feel like the sun has been hidden behind a cloud for a long time. @shanewarne23, my beloved Lionheart, rest in peace. "The Royals' star added a caption to her Instagram post.
After being discovered unresponsive in his villa on the Thai island of Koh Samui on Friday, Warne died of a suspicious heart attack at the age of 52. In a statement, his management company affirmed his death.
The statement stated, "It is with great sadness that we advise Shane Keith Warne passed away of a suspicious heart attack." "Despite medical staff's best efforts, he was unable to be revived. The family asks for privacy at this time and will provide more information when the time comes."
After learning of Warne's death, Elizabeth's son Damian, who was 9 years old when the star became engaged to the legendary Australian cricket player in 2011, expressed his sadness.
"I'm still trying to wrap my head across this," Damian, 19, wrote alongside a carousel of photos of himself and Warne in happier times in his caption. "SW was always a father figure to me for the majority of my childhood and was truly one of the best guy I've ever known. My heart is shattered. All of SW's family is in my thoughts and prayers."
Elizabeth and Warne first became romantically involved in 2010, and the late athlete proposed to her in 2011. The former couple thanked their fans on Twitter as they announced their engagement. However, in 2013, the two parted ways.
Despite their breakup, the ex-couple remained close friends. Warne discussed his relationship with Elizabeth in an interview with The Mirror in 2018, saying, "I miss the love we had together. With Elizabeth, I had the happiest years of my life."
