After it was revealed on Wednesday that Andrew Silverman’s estranged wife Lauren is 10-weeks pregnant with X Factor creator Simon Cowell’s child, Silverman’s divorce papers have surfaced. In the documents, Silverman actually names Cowell.
As we previously reported, the the pregnancy was confirmed by Us Weekly, which cited a source that said Lauren is 10-weeks pregnant.
“Lauren and Andrew have been unhappy in their marriage for some time, and their divorce has been in the works for a while,” Us Weekly’s source said. “As their marriage deteriorated, she and Simon became close.”
Now, The New York Post is reporting that Silverman filed for divorce in Manhattan Supreme Court two weeks ago, but it went unnoticed until now. Silverman names Cowell as a co-respondent in a fault divorce filing, citing adultery as the reason. That means that Cowell may have to take the stand, revealing his finances and details about the affair with Lauren.
“She is a total gold digger,” one friend of Silverman’s said about Lauren. Another said, “The pregnancy was by design.”
Andrew’s brother even told the Post, “It is an unbelievable story of betrayal. It is a sad story and a tragic story.”
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports that Lauren was spotted with her 7-year-old son Adam outside their New York home yesterday and Cowell was seen at the X Factor studio in Los Angeles.
Cowell’s reps haven’t issued a statement yet, but a source for People says that Lauren is “ecstatic” to be pregnant with Cowell’s baby.
