THE married lover pregnant with Simon
Cowell’s baby openly flirted with the TV guru because her husband
thought they were “just good friends”, it was revealed yesterday.
Financier Andrew Silverman shrugged it off when he saw vivacious missus
Lauren, 36, with the 53-year-old X Factor mogul, a close pal of the husband
and wife told The Sun.
Last night the New Yorker, 37, was still feeling “deeply betrayed” after
wrongly dismissing his wife’s saucy antics during the trio’s frequent
holidays together as “innocent” fun.
The chum said: “Andrew and Lauren had a great time with Simon. They were
friends for over six years and often vacationed together.
“Andrew knew she was flirtatious — it’s in her nature.
“To Andrew it wasn’t a big deal. But there’s a big difference between friends
flirting and friends being sexual.”
The hubby, who has cited Cowell in divorce papers, was also said to be fuming
last night at his cheating wife and her family blaming HIM for the
affair.
Relatives claim Lauren, who has a young son, was lonely because the wealthy
property developer was away at work too much. The friend scoffed: “It’s
pretty impressive that someone who has been impregnated by a man who is not
her husband would have the audacity to try to lay the blame on anyone but
herself.
“The more talking her family do the worse she looks. They should probably quit
while they’re behind.”
