Simon Cowell Says Planning His Upcoming Wedding to Lauren Silverman Has Been ‘Easy’
Wedding planning has been a breeze for Simon Cowell.
The music mogul told reporters including PEOPLE that he has found organizing his big day to partner Lauren Silverman “easy” as he walked the America’s Got Talent season 18 red carpet in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Asked about taking the reins when it comes to planning the nuptials, Cowell, 63, said with a laugh, “Is that unusual?”
“It depends on how big or small you make it,” he continued. “Don’t forget, we’ve known each other a long time, so trust me, this is not gonna be a thousand people turning up or whatever. It’s easy.”
Cowell proposed to Silverman, 45, on Christmas Eve 2021 in Barbados, where they first met. PEOPLE confirmed the news in January 2022.
The AGT judge and executive producer revealed he is taking the lead with wedding planning in an interview last year.
He told British newspaper The Sun in April 2022, “I am planning it all, otherwise I know what will happen — there will be 600 people and it’ll get out of control, like my 50th birthday party. No one knows when it’s going to be — that’ll be a surprise, even for Lauren.”
The father of one added, “I don’t want to have one of these ghastly wedding planners and all the arguments that happen, and who you do invite and who you don’t invite. The whole thing just seems like too much hassle.”
Cowell also told the U.K. publication in December 2022, “I like to make everything spontaneous, and doing that will make it a lot more fun. I don’t think we’ll be getting married in Las Vegas, but whatever we do will definitely be fun.”
