Former “American Idol” judge Simon Cowell is engaged to longtime lover Lauren Silverman. Cowell, 62, proposed to the 44-year-old socialite during a recent family getaway to Barbados.
Cowell got down on one knee in front of the couple’s 7-year-old son, Eric, and Silverman’s son from a previous marriage, Adam.
The spouses-to-be met in 2004 when Silverman was still married to real estate mogul Andrew Silverman, a good friend of Cowell’s.
After 10 years of marriage, Lauren and Andrew finalized their divorce in 2013. That same year Lauren and Cowell went public with their relationship.
Cowell later admitted to having an affair with Lauren while she was wed to Andrew.

“The affair is not something I am proud of or wanted to happen in terms of hurting anyone,” he said in an interview years ago. “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.’”
Cowell said in a 2021 interview with UK’s OK! Magazine that he realized his relationship with Lauren was special after surviving quarantine during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic together.
“COVID-19 was the real test. Like everyone, we were in lockdown for a long time and that’s when you realize whether or not you actually enjoy each other’s company or not. And we really really did. The romance is still alive. We’re closer than ever, ” he said.
