Durign a recent interview, Sinitta Malone was asked if she had any idea about Simon Cowell's wedding plans with Lauren Silverman.

Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman’s love story 

Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman’s love story has been anything but conventional.

Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman first met in 2004 while vacationing at the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados. At the time, Lauren was married to Andrew Silverman, a close friend of Cowell's, Hollywood Life reported.

In 2013, it was confirmed that Lauren was pregnant with Cowell's child. Initially, adultery was cited as the cause of their split, but it was later changed to “broken down irretrievably".

Lauren and Andrew's divorce was finalized in November 2013, per People.

“[The affair] is not something I am proud of or wanted to happen in terms of hurting anyone. It just happened. … But then, of course, you have a baby, and you look at the baby and you kinda go, ‘This is what happened from it'," said Cowell.

Despite the controversy, Cowell and Silverman have built a life together, welcoming their son, Eric, 10, in 2014. 

After 13 years together, Cowell finally proposed to Silverman in December 24, 2022 during a family trip to Barbados.

The couple was recently spotted attending a VIP screening of 'Griselda' at The May Fair Hotel in London on January 10, 2024, a testament to their enduring bond amid a dramatic past. 

Cowell recently opened up about the emotional toll following the deaths of his beloved parents, Julie and Eric, a period he describes as a “downward spiral," as per Page Six.

“I lost everyone, you know, I’ve lost my parents. It’s finality now. What I said about the material things I’ve got, everything just meant nothing at that point. I was desperately unhappy.”

In a candid moment, Cowell admitted that it was his son Eric who saved him during this dark time.

“He’s my life,” he shared. “I love him so much and the fact that he loves the show as well. I mean, it’s everything I could have hoped for.”
