Simon Cowell 'Named In Divorce Papers Filed By Alleged Baby Mama Lauren Silverman's Husband'
Simon Cowell has reportedly been named in the divorce papers filed by his friend Andrew Silverman, after it was alleged the 'X Factor' boss is having a baby with his wife Lauren.
The New York Post reports Andrew filed for a 'fault divorce based on adultery', following Us Weekly's previous claims that Lauren and Simon only became close 'as her marriage deteriorated'.
Andrew's brother is said to have told the paper: "It is an unbelievable story of betrayal. It is a sad story and a tragic story."
The Daily Mail have also obtained a screen grab of court records which show Simon named as a co-respondent in the divorce case.
Due to Andrew's claim, Simon could face being hauled into court to reveal details of his relationship with Lauren.
"It's really a signal to the spouse who cheated that the wronged spouse is very angry and that it's going to be a very nasty, scorched-earth, high-profile litigation," divorce attorney Martha Cohen Stine reportedly told the NY Post.
However, a source previously told Us Weekly that the divorce had been in the works "for a while".
"Lauren and Andrew have been unhappy in their marriage for some time, and their divorce has been in the works for a while," they said.
"As their marriage deteriorated, she and Simon became close."
According to the magazine, New York socialite Lauren is around ten weeks pregnant with Simon's baby.
