Simon Cowell is set to marry fiancée Lauren Silverman in a lavish ceremony in London next month, according to reports. The 62-year-old media mogul proposed just five months ago but believes there is "no point in delaying" the wedding.
The couple, who have an eight-year-old son named Eric, want him to be 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."
Cowell recently opened up about his decision to settle down, explaining that lockdown brought them closer. He said: "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."
The X Factor star also admitted he could not imagine dating again, saying: "The idea of going out on a first date now is too weird." He is taking a hands-on approach to the wedding, planning it himself to avoid an overblown celebration, and has banned using a wedding planner. He even claims the plans are so secret that Lauren does not know when or where it will take place.
