Simon Cowell’s partner Lauren is a 41-year-old socialite from New York.
She was first introduced to The X Factor judge through her ex-husband Andrew Silverman in 2006, when the pair were close friends.
Simon, 58, and Lauren got together in 2013 reportedly while she was still married.
It is believed Andrew filed for divorce from Lauren when she was pregnant with Simon's baby Eric, who was born in 2014.
Lauren and Andrew also have a 12-year-old son together named Adam.
Simon addressed their alleged affair in 2014, telling The Mirror: “In this situation you are not going to come out of this well because of the circumstances.
“It is not something I am proud of or wanted to happen in terms of hurting anyone.
“It just happened. You have to deal with it and man up to it. You have to accept the responsibility and the criticism.”
Before meeting Lauren, Simon revealed he wasn't interested in marriage or children.
However, following the birth of his first born, he said it was “the best” thing in the world.
He previously told The Daily Star: “Eric is absolutely incredible and so funny.
“It [being a father] is the best thing that ever happened to me.”
Back in May, Simon’s Britain’s Got Talent co-star David Walliams, 47, flippantly pressured Simon to propose to Lauren during a live show.
Judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, David and Simon had just finished watching romantic double act Ellie and Jeki when he made the plea.
David told the act: “It was a very romantic celebration of your story and a very happy ending.”
He turned to Simon and said: "It's romantic Simon, two people getting married. This would be an ideal moment to propose to Lauren."
However, the mogul remained tight-lipped as Lauren looked on from the audience awkwardly while the crowd cheered.
Last year, a source claimed Simon’s partner was “getting tired” of waiting for a proposal from the music mogul.
An insider told Now Magazine: “Lauren has told Simon straight that she wants a ring on her finger before the year is out.
“He is, of course, laughing it off but knows he’s running out of time.
“Simon always says Lauren is the only woman to ever succeed at turning him into a respectable man, but walking down the aisle is something he’s never even imagined.”
Meanwhile, the talent boss was honoured with a Hollywood Walk Of Fame star in California.
It is believed he will joined guest speakers at a ceremony in front of the Hollywood and Highland complex on Hollywood Boulevard.
