Lauren Silverman, who is said to be expecting a child with Simon Cowell, allegedly spent hours on the phone to him and her husband Andrew heard “the whole thing”.

According to TMZ.com, friends of the couple say that Andrew Silverman knew that Lauren and Simon Cowell were having a s**ual relationship too.

However, the site also reports that other sources claim that Andrew Silverman wasn’t aware of what was going on.

“Andrew is telling them looking back there were plenty of <<warning signs>> but he just didn’t pick up on them.”

In January Lauren Silverman, 36, posted a cryptic message about soulmates to her Instagram page.

The socialite uploaded an image with the words: “Throughout life you will meet one person who is unlike any other.”

Lauren Silverman and Simon Cowell have allegedly been having an affair since 2009 and perhaps the message described her feelings for the Syco boss.

Along with the image Lauren Silverman also added her own words to the message and commented: “True friendship and true love are rare like diamonds. To be cherished and treasured and to be hold onto with all you’ve got. Be kind. Love with raw passion and with all your heart. And finally, strive to learn and practice the act of forgiveness. X”

A source close to Lauren Silverman told Us Weekly magazine: “Lauren has loved Simon forever. And they started having an affair four years ago.”

The source added that Lauren Silverman and Simon Cowell were originally only hooking up sporadically but they are more serious now that Lauren is pregnant.

The insider added: “Simon and Lauren are together. They talk 100 times a day.”
