Everything to need to know about Lauren Silverman as Simon Cowell proposes
Before getting engaged to Simon Cowell, Lauren Silverman had previously been married to Andrew Silverman
Speaking during her Heart Breakfast radio show, Holden said: “Simon said he would never get married, and obviously Lauren has been by his side and you know they’ve been through so much together, and I think she’s the one, but I don’t know if she ever thought he would put a ring on it!”
She added: “And then last night we all got the text saying “it’s happening” and we couldn’t believe it, and I knew it would be in the papers today if we got the text last night. So I was like: ‘Oh my goodness!’”
Asked by her co-host Jamie Theakston if the wedding will happen this year, she said: “I would love to think so. I’m literally messaging them as we speak, going: ‘Do I need to book flights to Barbados because I want to get in before the prices go up, let me know.’
How did they meet - and how long have they been together?
Cowell and Silverman got together in secret whilst she was still married to her husband, but after Silverman became pregnant in 2013 with Cowell, the two were forced to reveal their relationship.
“All I can say is, my advice to you is if it happens to you, you just have to deal with it a day at a time and own up to your responsibilities.”
He said: “Covid-19 was the real test. Like everyone, we were in lockdown for a long time and that’s when you realise whether or not you actually enjoy each other’s company or not. And we really did.
