Simon Cowell To Father First Child With Friend's Ex-Wife And Is Also Caught Up In Their Divorce Drama

X-Factor boss Simon Cowell who is about to father his first child with his friend's ex-wife Lauren Silverman, has gotten himself wrapped up in their divorce drama. The 53-year-old star has been identified as a co-respondent in the divorce papers as the reason for his friend and property tycoon Andrew Silverman ending his marriage with Lauren Silverman. He also risks being forced to stand as a witness to reveal his fortune worth over $350million dollars and the details of his affair with Lauren.

While many are speculating that their marriage had been on the rocks, friends and family members insist that's far from the truth and he (Andrew) was completely shocked to find out his wife was 10 weeks pregnant for his friend Simon Cowell. This is serious, he probably had been sleeping with Lauren while she was still married to Andrew.

According to Alexander Silverman, Andrew’s brother, he told the New York Post newspaper: ‘It is an unbelievable story of betrayal. It is a sad story and a tragic story.’ A source added: ‘[They] weren’t estranged. The suggestion that she was an estranged wife who fell into another man’s arms is not the case.’Another friend said, ‘she is a total gold digger’, while another accusingly ranted, ‘the pregnancy was by design’.
 

Simon met with Andrew and Lauren Silverman on holiday seven years ago at the upmarket Sandy Lane resort in Barbados and regularly holidayed with the couple ever since, even double-dating his ex-fiancé Mezhgan Hussainy.
