Lauren Silverman: What to know about the woman allegedly having Simon Cowell’s baby

Perennial bachelor Simon Cowell is reportedly expecting his first child. The 56-year-old music mogul has repeatedly stated that he doesn’t want children, but it appears he might be expecting his own little American Idol with a woman named Lauren Silverman.

So, who is the alleged mother of Simon Cowell’s future child? Join us as we look over everything we know about her so far.

She’s a socialite
The 36-year-old New Yorker is a socialite who regularly attends theatre and book launches.

She’s getting a divorce from one of Simon’s friends
Although technically still married to real estate tycoon (and Simon Cowell’s close friend!) Andrew Silverman, Lauren reportedly started divorce proceedings on July 15. "Lauren and Andrew have been unhappy in their marriage for some time, and their divorce has been in the works for a while," a source told US Weekly. "As their marriage deteriorated, she and Simon became close."

She’s already a mum
Lauren already has a 7-year-old son with her estranged husband and is rumoured to want to tie the knot with Cowell in the future.

She looks a lot like Cowell's exes
There’s a striking similarity between Cowell’s new belle and some of the previous women he’s dated, including Jackie St. Clair, Terri Seymour, and former fiancée Mezhgan Hussainy.

The pair has vacationed together before
As the news broke, photos have started to appear online showing Cowell yachting with Silverman while on vacation in St. Barts in August 2012. The pair has also stayed in St. Tropez in 2011 and were snapped leaving the theatre together in London in March of this year.
