Who is Simon Cowell’s fiancée, Lauren Silverman?
Lauren Silverman is a New York socialite who shot to global fame in 2013 when details of her affair with judge Simon Cowell broke.
She was married to one of his good friends, Andrew Silverman, at the time.
Andrew introduced Simon to his wife in Barbados in 2006.
After the initial meeting, Lauren and Andrew would often holiday together with Simon.
Real estate mogul Andrew filed for divorce when Lauren's pregnancy with Simon's child was revealed.
Simon was mentioned in the divorce papers, which were submitted on the grounds of adultery.
Their child, Eric, was born in 2014.
The Sun previously reported that Lauren had a bust-up with Simon's fellow Britain's Got Talent judge, Alesha Dixon, over her belief that the two had grown too close.

The Sun revealed that Simon got down on one knee during the couple’s 2021 holiday in Barbados.
Romantic Simon popped the question in front of the couple’s seven-year-old son, Eric, and stepson Adam, from Lauren’s first marriage, on Christmas Eve.
A source said: “Simon and Lauren are ridiculously, nauseatingly in love - incredibly, lockdown brought them closer than ever.
“Lauren was absolutely stunned and never in a million years expected Simon to pop the question.
"She burst into tears - happy tears - and obviously said ‘yes’ straight away.
“It was important to Simon that the kids were there too, as he adores them both and the family they’ve become.
Whilst Simon never thought he was the marrying type, he’s realised he’s met the woman of his dreams - and couldn’t be happier

“Lauren has been Simon’s rock over these past few years - supporting him when he broke his back, and through thick and thin generally.
"They make a wonderful couple.
“Whilst Simon never thought he was the marrying type, he’s realised he’s met the woman of his dreams - and couldn’t be happier.
"In the words of Beyoncé, it was time to put a ring on it.”
In February 2022, Simon revealed to that their son, Eric, played a role in the proposal.
He said, "One hundred percent he had to coach me. And we planned it. He was a big part of it."

How many children do Simon and Lauren have?
Lauren and Simon Cowell's son, Eric, was born on Valentine's Day in 2014.
He is their only child together.
Lauren also has an older son, Adam, from her marriage to Andrew.
After their divorce, Adam stayed with his dad in Manhattan so he could continue at his same private school, but Lauren and Andrew have joint custody.
Simon and Lauren have a residence in New York City, and she visits her eldest son every other week.
In 2017, Cowell revealed he hadn't ruled out adding to the brood but said it isn’t entirely in his hands.
He reportedly said: "Would I like more babies? I don't make that decision. As you know, these things happen."
