Simon Cowell and Carmen Electra enjoyed a brief romance but when the pair split, Lauren Silverman was in fact the reason behind the break-up.
A source has claimed that Carmen Electra called it quits with Simon Cowell after finding him in a compromising position with Lauren Silverman, who is now pregnant with his child.
“Carmen was at Simon’s house in L.A. when she literally busted him with Lauren,” an insider told E! News.
“Simon called her a friend, but there was nothing platonic about what was going on, if you know what I mean.”
The source added that Carmen Electra “high-tailed it out of there. There was no way she was going to stick around and be a third wheel”.

“I’m so happy for him!” Carmen Electra said.
“What I witnessed working with him on Britain’s Got Talent and coming to see him during X Factor is that the people he truly believes in, he stands up for them and supports them. So I obviously think that his child will be very well taken care and very, very loved.”
She added: “I’m going to call him as soon as I get in the car after the event. I want to know if it’s a boy or a girl. It’s awesome, I’m super happy for him.”
