Summary
Lauren Silverman said on a June 16 podcast that discovering she was pregnant with Simon Cowell’s son Eric while married to Andrew Silverman was "one of the hardest times" of her life.
The 48-year-old said she does not regret her life with Cowell, 66, but wishes the relationship had begun differently because of the pain caused to her ex-husband, her son Adam and other family members.
Silverman described feeling unable to embrace the pregnancy amid public backlash, saying she moved between New York and London while feeling marked by tabloid scrutiny and judgment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
More than a decade after the scandal ended her 2003-2013 marriage, she said she has made peace with the fallout and no longer cares what others think.
