Gold digger Lauren Silverman is the reason Simon Cowells fiancée dumped him and now the pregnant social climber wants the X-Factor mogul to make an honest woman of her, sources told The Post.
He promised to marry her after learning she was pregnant, and she is trying to make sure she keeps his promise to take care of them both, a source told The Post yesterday.
Leggy beauty Mezhgan Hussainy was still blissfully planning her wedding to Cowell when the married Lauren began bedding the TV star, friends said.
Lauren has been telling friends she has been sleeping with Simon since the end of 2011, or the start of 2012, a source said.

OBSESSED: Socialite Lauren Silverman, pregnant with Simon Cowells baby, steps out of her Hamptons home yesterday.
She slept with Simon when he was engaged, which is why he and Mezhgan broke off their engagement, another said.
Another said, She says she is in love with Simon and would do anything to keep him. She is obsessed with him.
Another source said, There was a long time between when he broke up with Mezhgan and got together with Lauren.
Now that shes pregnant with 53-year-old Cowells child, Silverman, 36 who is still married to Manhattan real-estate developer Andrew Silverman wants to tie the knot and has demanded the notoriously altar-shy star come through.
Shes been bragging about it for months that she and Simon are in love and that they are getting married, another source said.
Last spring, Lauren boldly posted an Instagram photo of herself in a skimpy bikini, snuggling with Cowell on his yacht with the caption, Me and my little Simey monster.
When The Posts Page Six asked Lauren in May whether the two were having an affair, she burst into tears and said, Simon is my best friend, but please dont write we are having an affair . . . It would destroy my family and my son.
Many of the duos mutual friends believe Cowell wont marry his baby mama.
Cowell who once observed that the truth is you get married and in a year or two they clean you out called his engagement to Hussainy a big mistake after confirming their breakup in 2012.
He likes his freedom too much. But he is always very generous to his girlfriends and ex-girlfriends, said a source in the Cowell camp, noting he bought Hussainy a $5 million house when they split.
He is happy about being a father and will do the right thing. He wants to get things straightened out as soon as possible for the sake of the child, although, of course, Lauren is still married.
Laurens furious, cuckolded husband is gearing up for a nasty divorce battle after naming Cowell as a co-respondent in court papers filed July 15.
Friends yesterday said Lauren has a $3million to $4 million prenup but the pregnancy could change that.
The Silvermans and Cowell have been friends since 2004, when Lauren spotted the star producer in Barbados and got his attention by parading by his room in her bikini, a source said.
Cowell and the couple soon became fast friends, vacationing together with a bevy of Cowell beauties, including his ex-girlfriends, TV presenter Terri Seymour and pop star Sinitta.
Simon likes having a harem of women on his boat who compete for his attention. a source said.
Another source said, Friends assume [Andrew] knew they were sleeping together but turned a blind eye because he was star-struck by Simon and loved going on a free vacation on his massive yacht.
Now Andrew thinks he can go after Simons money by naming him in the divorce papers.
But pals of Andrew said he was clueless.
Andrew factually did not know this was going on, or at least didnt believe it, one said. He thought everyone was just jealous of her. And she made it seem like Simon was just her best friend.
Lauren and Andrew, 37, who have a little boy, had been trying to have another child, family pals say.
She has been trying to get pregnant again for so long. What happens if she miscarries and Simon owes her nothing? Then she is left with nothing. one mused. But maybe Simon is in love with her.
Lauren is riding out the scandal in the Hamptons with her son and mom. Last night, she released a statement that said, I am committed to sorting things out with Andrew as amicably as possible.
When asked about the situation at a TV-industry event in LA last night, Cowell said, I havent read the newspapers. Am I missing anything? then added he couldnt comment, saying, There are a lot of things I will eventually clear up.
Andrew issued a statement yesterday saying, My top priority is protecting my 7-year-old son while working to resolve all outstanding issues with my wife.

Not only is it repulsive, it's disgusting and vile. Simon's huge ego is getting a reality check here.
Yea... I'd rather just have some money dumped into my bank account lol.
Wouldnt gift tax be huge if he gave someone a home? so maybe he owns/ maintain it, and they get to live there until he decides they don't.
*scrolls back to pic of them all smiling vacationing together
I can't even try to comprehend that which is Hollyweird.
We think alike. What good is a big house if you can't maintain it in a few years?
Exactly!! lol
Truth!!!
this lauren silverman lady looks a lot like this woman who takes classes at the exercise studio I go to. 
I hope she comes back so I can stare and wonder more closely!
I hope she comes back so I can stare and wonder more closely!
I don't believe for a second that this pregnancy was 'accidental' on her part. She planned this whole thing. She wants his $$$$.
I think she planned it and Simon was dumb enough to get with her. I mean her husband is a friend I don't care if their marriage was in trouble you don't go there. She probably planned this she knew per prenup wouldn't keep her in the style she is accustomed to .
Pictured: Cowell 'kissing married lover Lauren on yacht'... LAST AUGUST as husband’s friends reveal ‘she was always totally into Simon’ but that he knows ‘plenty’ if the divorce gets ugly
The estranged husband of Simon Cowell's pregnant lover believes she was 'totally into Simon' for years before the pair embarked on an affair, sources today told MailOnline.
It came as photos emerged today of the X Factor supremo sharing an intimate moment with New York socialite Lauren Silverman during a cruise off the coast of the French Riviera in August 2012.
Meanwhile, American websites including the New York Postand TMZ.comsuggest that the pair had in fact begun their 'affair' long before Lauren's marriage ended.
A source close to the Silverman family told MailOnline: 'This affair has been going on for a long time - much longer than anyone would think.'
Surprisingly, a source close to the wealthy property developer today said Andrew believes the affair only started earlier this year, adding: 'He knew Lauren was always totally into Simon, but as far as Andrew is concerned it was this spring when things went to another level.

Expecting: Lauren Silverman and her young son pick up lunch in the wealthy enclave of the Hamptons today. The New York socialite fled to the country after news of her shock pregnancy broke this week
He appealed for privacy for his wife - who is said to be 10 weeks pregnant with Cowell's baby - and his seven-year-old son Adam.
Andrew had even joined his wife and good friend Cowell while house hunting in Los Angeles in October.
The source admits: 'Andrew maybe was in a little bit of denial about this. He knew Lauren had star f***ing tendancies - not literally - and that she enjoyed being around celebrities, but he had no real clue.'
Having filed for divorce after discovering his wife is pregnant by the man he had thought his friend, Andrew now hopes that the divorce will be speedy and the couple can come to an agreement over their son.
However, in a chilling threat, if it does go to court, real estate millionaire Andrew knows 'plenty about Simon', according to friends - which could prove to be extremely embarrassing for the X Factor supremo.

Andrew was dressed casually in flip flops, grey shorts, a black t-shirt and sunglasses with a cap on as he arrived back at the property in Bridgehampton, New York, at 4.45pm in a Mercedes Gullwing sports car having left at 9am after spending the night.
Looking stressed and tense, he told reporters: 'This is a very difficult time. Please keep your distance.'
This week, it was revealed that Andrew has taken the unusual step of naming Cowell as a co-respondent in the divorce papers he filed two weeks ago.
According to TMZ, Andrew is alleging adultery to end his marriage to Lauren.
And he makes clear his intention in the legal filing, saying, "The nature of this action is: to dissolve the marriage between the parties based upon (1) the commission of acts of adultery by the defendant and (2) defendant's cruel and inhuman treatment of the plaintif.'
[FONT="]Lauren has a prenup that gives her $3 to $4 million, a friend told the New York Post but her pregnancy could change that.[/FONT]
The paper claims that Lauren's relationship with Cowell began as early as 2011, with a source quoted as telling the publication: 'Lauren has been telling friends she has been sleeping with Simon since the end of 2011, or the start of 2012.'
Lauren was a constant fixture during Cowell's X Factor USA live shows back in late 2011, around the time he split from former fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy.
Lauren was regularly seen sitting in the front row and directly in Cowell's line of sight during the shows.
While it is unknown if any romance between Cowell and Lauren caused their split, Mezhgan looked in good spirits and smiled widely as she arrived at the mogul's Beverly Hills home on Thursday in the wake of the shock pregnancy announcement.
Mezhgan is still close friends with Cowell and continues to do his make-up for the X Factor shows, touring the country with him for recent auditions.
And a friend said: ‘Mezghan is good, she’s been really supportive.'
Cowell and Lauren met in 2007 on the beach in Barbados, when she was on holiday there with her husband Andrew, it was confirmed today.
The reality show judge is a creature of habit and has stayed at the five-star Sandy Lane Hotel during New Year and the month of January for many years.
He has stayed at both the hotel and the private apartments next door, jetting off on his annual vacation after filming The X Factor UK, which he quit in 2011.
Although over the past three years, he has tried to win some more privacy for him and his coterie of guests and has hired a yacht, the Slipstream, which can cost between $450,000 and $900,000 to hire per week.
It was in January 2012, that he was pictured with Lauren and Andrew on board, although at the time they were named as just 'friends' – and had yet to become household names.
By August 2012, Lauren had joined Cowell on board the Slipstream again, joined by his harem including fashion designer Rachel Roy and Sinitta, in St Tropez in the South of France.
As his engagement to Mezhgan fizzled out – something he called his ‘big mistake’ in Tom Bower’s tell-all book - Lauren began to accompany him everywhere, travelling from her home in New York to London, and joining him at Britain’s Got Talent filming.
In January, the couple were so close that Rachel Roy Instagrammed a picture of the pair curled around each other in the sunshine, with Lauren in a bikini hugging Simon – who she called 'my Simey Monster' from behind. She called them: ‘Host number one and host number 2.’
In one picture, take on that fateful vacation, Cowell's ex-fiancee Mezghan stands at the end of the group of friends while Cowell playfully puts his hands around Lauren’s neck – and Andrew Silverman stands to the side laughing

As they were: Andrew is gearing up for a divorce battle with Lauren - but wants it to be quick and painless
The couple were seen in March leaving a performance of the Mouse Trap in London and smoking in the back of a chauffeur driven car.
Cowell had split from long-term girlfriend Terri Seymour in 2008 because he didn’t want to get married – and today a source said Terri and Lauren were not – and had never been friends.
However, despite the claims coming out of America, other sources insist that Cowell and Lauren's romantic relationship did not begin until after she had officially separated from Andrew, again reiterating this today.her friend Mzia Shima claimed Lauren’s friendship with Cowell did NOT turn into romance until recently – and only because Andrew was frequently abroad on business.
Mzia, who has known Lauren for 10 years, told MailOnline: ‘Lauren and Andrew were never separated but Andrew works long hours, he’s often not in New York.
‘She and Andrew were always invited to things together by Simon but if Andrew couldn’t go, sometime Lauren would go on her own.
'They were close friends and then one day it turned into something else. This is all fresh. Lauren didn’t plan any of this. It’s not some kind of trick.'
She added :”I know one, thing for sure, they are in love with each other. I hope they will get married and be happy forever.;
Shiman, who owns a day spa in Manhattan, revealed that she saw Lauren a week ago, adding: 'She told me she was pregnant with Simon’s baby. She was glowing. She has a tiny little belly but even that looks good on her because she is so stunning. I said:”Lauren, are you happy?” and she said: 'Yes, I’m thrilled'.
'She told me that Simon is happy to have a child. She was a little bit stressed, of course, because it’s a difficult situation. But she is in love and she is happy.'
Mzia calls says her friend a 'wonderful mother' and says she is different to the other women that Cowell surrounds himself with. “Lauren never took anything from Simon, she never expected anything. I think that’s why, for Simon, Lauren is special. She’s not some bubblehead. She’s very smart and very intelligent.
Mzia insisted that Lauren’s first priority was her son Adam, adding: ‘It wasn’t that Andrew was a bad husband. She has never spoken badly of him. It was that she and Simon fell in love. Maybe she felt something different with Simon – more loving, more caring.
'I know that she wants to do this in as dignified a way as possible. Her concern is for her little boy and for the baby.'
Although both the men in Lauren’s life had been fond of each other, Mzia said she did not know their feelings now, adding: ‘Andrew was very fond of Simon and vice versa. I really believe Andrew will find it in his heart to do the right thing.'
She added that her friend will be a “wonderful mother” to Cowell’s baby, saying: 'Her son Adam is her life. She is a devoted mother. She even sits at the table with him and counts the bites he takes to make sure he eats enough.
'She never wanted to leave Andrew because of her little boy. But these things happen, marriages break up, and I know she and Andrew will do everything they can to make sure Adam is OK.'
