Simon Cowell's Fiancee Lauren Explains Why She Already Took His Last Name

Introducing Mrs. Cowell!

Simon Cowell‘s fiancée, Lauren Cowell, confirms in the music mogul’s new Netflix docuseries that she has already taken his last name.

Lauren, 48, explains in Simon Cowell: The Next Act, which began streaming on Wednesday, December 10, that she initially chose to keep the last name of her ex-husband, real estate developer Andrew Silverman, because they share a son, Adam. (The former couple were married from 2003 to 2013.)

“I kept it for him,” Lauren says of Adam in episode 3, noting that she wanted to have the same surname as her son while he was growing up.
