Hurley was a relatively unknown actress when she met Hugh Grant in 1987 while working on a Spanish production called Remando Al Viento. In the 1990s, Hurley became known mostly as Grant's girlfriend. In 1994, as Grant became the focus of international media attention due to the success of his film Four Weddings and a Funeral, Hurley accompanied him to the film's London premiere in a black Versace dress, which gained her instant media attention.
While dating Hurley, Grant gained notoriety for soliciting the services of a sex worker in 1995. Hurley stood by Grant and accompanied him to the premiere of his film Nine Months. After thirteen years together, Hurley and Grant announced an "amicable" split in May 2000.
On 4 April 2002, Hurley gave birth to a son, Damian Charles Hurley. The baby's father, American businessman Steve Bing, denied paternity by claiming that he and Hurley had a brief, non-exclusive relationship in 2001. A DNA test established Bing as Damian's father. Grant is one of Damian's godfathers. Hurley is godmother to Patsy Kensit's and Liam Gallagher's son Lennon and two of David and Victoria Beckham's sons Brooklyn and Romeo.
In late 2002, Hurley began dating Indian business person Arun Nayar. They married in 2007. Hurley lived on a 400 acre organic farm in Barnsley, Gloucestershire, with her son and husband. In December 2010, Hurley announced that she and Nayar had separated several months earlier. Hurley filed for divorce on 2 April 2011, citing Nayar's "unreasonable behaviour" as the cause, grounds for divorce under English law. The divorce was granted on 15 June 2011.
In late 2011, three months after her divorce, Hurley became engaged to Shane Warne, a former Australian cricketer. In 2012, Hurley and Warne bought the Grade II–listed mansion Donnington Hall, near Ledbury, Herefordshire, as their main home. In December 2013, Hello magazine reported the couple's separation. Warne died of a heart attack on 4 March 2022, at age 52, and Hurley paid tribute to her ex-fiancé. In April 2025, Hurley announced on social media that she was dating American musician Billy Ray Cyrus.

She was dropped after one series because her bosses reportedly believed she was too wooden.
