Simon Cowell’s late mum ‘would have been delighted’ at engagement claims brother Tony
SIMON COWELL’s brother Tony has revealed the pair’s late mother would have been “delighted” at the news that, at the age of 62, he is finally settling down and getting married.
Simon Cowell had once been ambivalent about the idea of settling down into domesticated, married life. TV’s notorious Mr Nasty, who is currently overseeing auditions on a brand new series of Britain’s Got Talent, had never been married before.
However he now has seven-year-old son Eric to consider, and news has broken the doting father is finally due to marry the mother of his child, Lauren Silverman.
The ecstatic bride to be broke the news to Simon’s brother at 4:30 in the morning.
“When I first heard the news… I immediately thought of our mum, Julie,” Tony told Best magazine.
“She would have been overjoyed with the news, and it’s sad to think she is not here to see her son finally tie the knot.
“She always wanted him to settle down with a family.”
He added: “I picture her looking down and saying, ‘And about time, Simon!'”
Lauren is Jewish, an identity she shares with Simon’s father, so there is a link between the two families.
