Simon Cowell to be a dad: Lauren Silverman prregnant

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Cowell is going to be a daddy! The X Factor judge and music mogul is expecting a baby with New York socialite Lauren Silverman.

Silverman is married to Cowell’s close friend Andrew Silverman, a real estate mogul in NYC. She plans to leave her husband to be with the father of her child.

“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.”

Simon has previously confessed he’s not cut out to be a dad.

“God, no. I couldn’t have children. If I had them here drawing on the walls I’d go nuts,” he said in 2009.

“With kids, you’ve got a routine you can’t escape from. You’ve got to be up at a certain time. Got to listen. When all you want to do is sit in a corner thinking.”
