Tuesday night could People reveal that former “America’s got talent” judge Simon Cowell (62) and girlfriend Lauren Silverman (44) had become engaged after a 13-year relationship as boyfriends.
According to the American magazine, Cowell got engaged while going for a beach trip with their son Eric (7) and Silverman’s second son Adam (16) who she has from a previous marriage.

Peace on Christmas Eve
The couple spent the Christmas holidays at Cowell’s holiday home in Barbados, which is also the same island where they first met. It was on Christmas Eve itself that the 62-year-old took the opportunity to get down on his knees when he received a “yes” from Silverman.
Representatives for Cowell confirmed the engagement to People and a source told the magazine that the engagement did not come as a big shock to the couple’s closest friends and since they have been lovers for so long.
Made a big impression
The couple met in 2004, while Silverman was still married to real estate investor Andrew Silverman, who according to People was a good friend of Cowell.
It was not until 2013 that the former couple applied for a divorce, when it became known that the former “Americas got talent” judge and Lauren were expecting their first child.
In 2014, the couple had their first child. Cowell, who is known for his strict charisma, told last year when he visited The Kelly Clarkson Show that becoming a father had brought out a softer side of him, and that it was the ultrasound images that first made a big impression on him.
– He’s the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. I love him, said the “America’s got talent” judge when he visited the talk show.
Cowell has previously written on Twitter that becoming a father has been a milestone for him.
