Relationship with Simon Cowell explored
Lauren was reportedly introduced to Simon by her then-husband, Andrew, in Barbados, back in 2006. The Sun reports that following their initial meeting, Lauren and Andrew often holidayed together with the America’s Got Talent judge.
Andrew filed for divorce after reportedly learning about Lauren’s pregnancy with Simon’s child.
The Sun previously reported that Lauren had a confrontation with Simon’s fellow Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon over her belief that the two had grown too close.
After the alleged BGT incident, Lauren reportedly made allegations, in a string of messages, that Spice Girl’s star Mel B had an affair with Simon.
However, it looks like the couple has managed to reconcile after all the struggles and hiccups.
Simon pops the big question to his girlfriend
An insider told The Sun that Simon popped the big question in front of the pair’s seven-year-old son, Eric, and his stepson, Adam.
The 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.”
Simon’s representative also confirmed the engagement to People.
