And asked whether Simon , who has been engaged to Lauren since 2021, has set a date for his wedding yet, Sinitta replied: “Oh, are they not married yet?”

Simon’s close friend, Sinitta, added: “I’m not saying anything, but I’m sure they are married. I call her Mrs Cowell anyway, so they may as well be.”

The Sun has approached Simon’s representatives for comment.

Simon’s fiancée Lauren is a New York socialite who shot to global fame in 2013 when details of her affair with Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell broke.

She was married to one of his good friends, Andrew Silverman, at the time.

Andrew introduced Simon to his wife in Barbados in 2006.

After the initial meeting, Lauren and Andrew would often holiday together with Simon.

Real estate mogul Andrew filed for divorce when Lauren’s pregnancy with Simon’s child was revealed.

Simon was mentioned in the divorce papers, which were submitted on the grounds of adultery.

Their child, Eric, was born in 2014.

The Sun revealed that Simon got down on one knee during the couple’s 2021 holiday in Barbados.

Romantic Simon popped the question in front of the couple’s son Eric, and stepson Adam, from Lauren’s first marriage, on Christmas Eve.

A source said: “Simon and Lauren are ridiculously, nauseatingly in love – incredibly, lockdown brought them closer than ever.

“Lauren was absolutely stunned and never in a million years expected Simon to pop the question.

“She burst into tears – happy tears – and obviously said ‘yes’ straight away.

“It was important to Simon that the kids were there too, as he adores them both and the family they’ve become.

“Lauren has been Simon’s rock over these past few years – supporting him when he broke his back, and through thick and thin generally.

“They make a wonderful couple.

“Whilst Simon never thought he was the marrying type, he’s realised he’s met the woman of his dreams – and couldn’t be happier.

“In the words of Beyoncé, it was time to put a ring on it.”

In February 2022, Simon revealed to Entertainment Tonight that their son, Eric, played a role in the proposal.

He said, “One hundred percent he had to coach me. And we planned it. He was a big part of it.”
