Simon Cowell changes his views on marriage after falling in love with Lauren Silverman<\/p>\n

Strict Britain\u2019s Got Talent Judge Calls The COVID-19 Pandemic a \u201cMake-or-Break\u201d Moment for Relationships<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For\u00a0Simon Cowell<\/em>, one of the biggest names in the British entertainment industry, the lockdown period was a time of reflection. While many relationships struggled, it brought him and his longtime partner\u00a0Lauren Silverman<\/em>\u00a0even closer, making him realize just how much they truly belonged together.<\/p>\n

Despite never having married before\u2014preferring the freedom of an unattached lifestyle\u2014Cowell revealed that he no longer wanted to date anyone else. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine myself ever dating someone new again. The idea of a first date now feels so bizarre,\u201d he told\u00a0The Sun<\/em>.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest reasons behind his proposal, however, was their 8-year-old son\u00a0Eric<\/em>. The\u00a0X Factor<\/em>\u00a0creator admitted: \u201cAs Eric grows older, he\u2019ll be asked more and more about his parents. I felt this was the right thing to do for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Cowell shared that he had always admired his parents\u2019 wonderful marriage and believed that he and Lauren would also continue to bring joy and laughter to each other\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

Simon Cowell Opens Up About His Proposal\u2014No Kneeling, No Over-The-Top Romance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Recalling the moment he proposed to his 45-year-old girlfriend\u00a0Lauren Silverman<\/em>,\u00a0Simon Cowell<\/em>\u00a0admitted that he wasn\u2019t romantic and didn\u2019t even get down on one knee.<\/p>\n

The entertainment mogul popped the question during their vacation in\u00a0Barbados<\/em>, in front of their son\u00a0Eric<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Adam<\/em>, Lauren\u2019s son from a previous relationship. However, Cowell revealed he wasn\u2019t nervous about her answer, as they had previously discussed the type of ring Lauren wanted.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>\u00a0judge also shared that he is personally planning their wedding and wants it to be a surprise\u2014even for the bride. He hopes for a small, intimate ceremony, saying,\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m planning everything myself. Otherwise, I know exactly what will happen: 600 people will show up, and everything will spiral out of control\u2014just like my 50th birthday party did.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Simon Cowell\u2019s Unexpected Proposal\u2014A Shock to Friends and Fans<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>\u00a0powerhouse judge first met his girlfriend,\u00a0Lauren Silverman<\/em>, in 2004 when she was still married to real estate mogul\u00a0Andrew Silverman<\/em>\u2014who happened to be one of Simon\u2019s close friends. Over time, the two developed feelings for each other and began an affair. In 2013, Lauren became pregnant, leading to a quick divorce and her moving in with Simon.<\/p>\n

Despite dating multiple women over the years,\u00a0Simon Cowell<\/em>\u00a0had always been devoted to his bachelor lifestyle. In 2008, he famously declared that he didn\u2019t believe in marriage and even admitted his concerns about what would happen to his fortune if he were to tie the knot. The entertainment mogul, born in 1959, currently has an estimated net worth of\u00a0$600 million<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Amanda<\/p>\n

Perhaps this mindset explains why he avoided discussing marriage with\u00a0Lauren Silverman<\/em>\u00a0for nearly a decade, even after making their relationship public. So, when\u00a0Cowell<\/em>\u00a0finally proposed, it came as a huge surprise\u2014not just to fans, but also to close friends and colleagues.\u00a0Amanda Holden<\/em>, Simon\u2019s longtime fellow judge on\u00a0Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>, confessed that she was completely stunned, as Simon had always insisted he would never get married.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
