Simon Cowell is set to marry fiancée Lauren Silverman in a lavish ceremony next month, it has been reported.
The media mogul, 62, proposed to Lauren just five months ago but is said to believe that there’s “no point in delaying” the wedding.
Lauren, 44, and Simon welcomed a son together eight years ago and reportedly want to make sure that he is front and centre of the ceremony.
An insider told The Sun : “He has taken charge of the planning and the date has been set for June.
“The ceremony is going to take place in London, with their son Eric front and centre, naturally.”
They added that the couple were looking forward to celebrating the day with family and friends and that Simon “wants to get Lauren up the aisle as quickly as he can”.
It comes after Simon opened up about his decision to settle down last month, explaining that lockdown brought himself and Lauren closer together.
He also explained how his consideration for his son’s future influenced his decision – and how the absolute horror at the mere prospect of ever dating anyone in the future convinced him to get down on one knee.
He told The Sun: “We were in the same house for over a year and I thought, ‘Well, actually, we get on really, really well’.
“And for Eric, as he gets older, he will be asked more and more about his parents, and I thought it was the right thing to do for him.
“I also just couldn’t see myself ever dating anyone again. The idea of going out on a first date now is too weird.
“My mum and dad had an amazing marriage and I used to call them best friends, and I think that’s a big part of it.
Simon went on to explain that he is taking a very hands-on approach to the wedding and is undertaking all the planning himself in order to avoid an overblown celebration.
He said he doesn’t want to have “600 people” on the guestlist like he had at his 50th birthday 12 years ago – and he has also banned working with a wedding planner.
And he even claims that the wedding plans are so secret that even Lauren doesn’t know when or where it is going to take place.
