Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman met up in the South of France to discuss the baby they are having together and plan for the future after several weeks apart.
People Magazine reports that sources say Cowell is very happy that Silverman's divorce is about to be finalized and is also looking forward to spending quality time with her. "He wants to make sure that she and the baby are doing okay. He is getting more and more excited about the baby," the source said. "The former judge of American Idol recently even told BBC that he was proud to be a dad.
Silverman is a socialite who was married, up until recently, to Andrew Silverman, a close friend of Cowell's. The Daily Mirror reported that she landed at Nice Airport in France before she met up with Cowell at a villa near the yacht that he has been vacationing on recently. Silverman, 36, is thought to be about 12 weeks pregnant and due in February. The recent divorcee has a son from her previous marriage.
Despite his excitement at the prospect of becoming a father, some sources close to Cowell say that he is not planning on living with Silverman permanently or getting married to her. However, the same source added that Cowell might eventually change his mind because he's a "softy at heart" and that no one would have expected him to react so happily to the news of an unexpected pregnancy.
