It is said that the extramarital affair between the two led to the much-publicized divorce. The couple shortly welcomed their son Eric to the world in 2014. Lauren Silverman had a son from her previous marriage as well.
An alum of American Idol, Ryan Seacrest asked Simon Cowell on his radio show about marriage plans to which Cowell promptly replied “let’s put it this way, I wouldn’t expect her to be a single mother.”
The reality TV executive recently shed light upon his relation with Silverman stating that they have been “closer than ever as the romance is still alive between them.”
Cowell further stated “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. So to answer your question… yes, the romance is still alive!”
