Apparently the woman due to give birth to Simon Cowell’s baby wants to do what no other woman has managed to do before: marry him.

Yesterday it emerged that the music mogul is having a child with Lauren Silverman, the estranged wife of his estate agent friend Andrew Silverman (they’re apparently divorcing so that makes everything okay).

 

Lauren and Simon are reportedly having a baby together.

An insider told the Daily Mail: “Lauren loves Simon, she says she wants to marry him. And with the baby she’s going the right way about it!”

But looking back at Simon’s love life, we’re not exactly holding our breath for the sound of wedding bells.

As yet the 53-year-old hasn’t confirmed the news despite the fact that many of his friends and colleagues have commented on it.

Sinitta was one of many who addressed the news on Twitter this week. 

David Walliams wrote: “Oh yeah, and @SimonCowell is doing a baby with a lady... For the record @SimonCowell and I tried to have a baby together for many years. But I just couldn’t get pregnant.”

Television host Jimmy Fallon also had a laugh at The X Factor star’s expense. He tweeted: “Simon Cowell is expecting a baby! He was at Baby Gap shopping for T-shirts & said, “Hey, I should get some for the baby too.”

But not everyone was as happy about it. Simon’s good friend (and former flame) Sinitta seemed to reference the news a few days ago. She described it as “half miracle, half nightmare.”
