Simon Cowell Baby Daddy DRAMA PHOTOS: Impregnates Friend's Wife, Lauren Silverman, Celebrities React To 'X Factor' Judge News, Andrew Silverman Takes Couple To Court
Simon Cowell is expecting his first child by his good friend's wife, Lauren Silverman. According to the Daily News a source says the news was a shock to the former Idol judge, "The pregnancy has taken him by surprise. He assumed she was using birth control," the source added, "Simon thought this was a casual relationship - friends with benefits. The pregnancy was not planned."
Lauren's husband, Andrew Silverman filed for divorce after finding out the news and plans on dragging in Cowell for the ugly divorce battle. The real estate mogul filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court as a no-fault divorce, which is not applicable in New York.
Although, Cowell never seemed fond of settling down and went back-and-forth on the idea of having any children, his mother Julie seems to be ecstatic if the news were to be confirmed by her son, "I've not heard anything officially. But if it's true then I'm absolutely delighted. It's wonderful! He'll make a fantastic father. He'll be great."
Former Flame Carmen Electra, told E! News "I'm so happy for him!" She added, "What I witnessed working with him on Britain's Got Talent and coming to see him during X Factor is that the people he truly believes in, he stands up for them and supports them. So I obviously think that his child will be very well taken care and very, very loved. I'm going to call him as soon as I get in the car after the event. I want to know if it's a boy or a girl. It's awesome, I'm super happy for him."
Celebrities and fans could not wait to joke about Simon's very "Maury" moment with numerous tweets:
Jimmy Fallon âªtweeted, "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." âª#fallonmono."
ScotVoices / Ian ⪠tweeted, "When is Simon Cowell's child due? If the antichrist is coming, I'd at least like to know when."
