Lauren Silverman breaks her silence on filming Netflix show with Simon Cowell as she says ‘I’m private and this is absolutely terrifying’

by

Lauren Silverman has spoken out about filming a Netflix series with her husband, Simon Cowell, admitting it was a ‘terrifying’ experience.

The 48-year-old socialite has been in a relationship with music executive Simon Cowell, 65, since 2013. Fans recently noticed she changed her Instagram username to ‘Simon Cowell,’ leading to speculation that they may have gotten married.

They first crossed paths in Barbados in 2004, but their romantic relationship didn’t begin until about 2012. They had a son, Eric, in 2014, and became engaged in 2021.

Lauren recently shared her anxieties about the upcoming release of Simon’s Netflix show, which will prominently feature her, despite her generally private nature.

The new trailer revealed several moments with Lauren, showing her worried about her husband’s well-being. At one point, she became upset during filming and briefly walked off set after an argument.

Lauren shared the trailer on social media Tuesday and explained it was her first Instagram post ever. She added that, given how private she usually is, working on the project for the past two years had been a completely new experience for her.

Our family has been dedicated to this project daily, and I’m incredibly proud of Simon and everyone involved.

It’s both scary and thrilling! I’m really hoping everyone enjoys the series when it comes out on Netflix December 10th. – Lauren X

Creating Britain’s next successful boy band has been challenging for Simon Cowell, so much so that he needed to be put on a drip while filming his new show, Simon Cowell: The Next Act.

He’s searching across the UK for talented individuals for a six-part documentary series. The show will document the journey of hopefuls, from the initial open auditions to the launch of the group’s first song.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always excited when we get a real inside look at someone’s life, and that’s exactly what this streaming service is promising with Simon Cowell‘s new project. Their website says it’s like having an ‘all-access’ pass – you won’t miss a single moment of what he’s up to next!

Even though I enjoy my work on television, I really miss the early days of discovering and working with musicians,” Simon explains in the preview. “There’s a huge potential out there, and I’m going to find the next big boyband.

The famously critical TV personality admits the odds are stacked against him – he believes there’s less than a 10% chance of success – as he describes the search process as chaotic.

Lauren seemed overwhelmed and, during a heated moment, asked for her microphone to be turned off. She then left while Simon was sitting in a chair, receiving vitamins through an IV drip.

She insists she doesn’t mind helping, explaining, ‘When you care about someone, you just show up for them.’

As she leaves, Simon is heard saying: ‘Oh Lauren.’

I was really worried seeing him again, especially noticing how much his health seemed to be on his mind. We had a quiet moment in the car where I tried to share my concerns with him, hoping he’d open up.

She observed that Simon’s job isn’t simply a way to earn a living, but a central part of who he is. Then, reaching out to him, she commented, ‘You seem really stressed.’

Lauren has every right to be worried, especially after supporting him through several frightening health issues lately.

In August 2020, Simon suffered a broken back while test-riding an E-bike at his Malibu home. The injury needed a six-hour surgery to stabilize his spine with a metal rod and screws.

Two years later he broke his arm and was hospitalised when he crashed an E-bike in London.

The music manager, estimated to be worth £475 million, recently missed appearances on Britain’s Got Talent due to migraines. Stacey Solomon filled in for him temporarily before he rejoined the show’s judging panel.

Simon has a long history of discovering new performers. Starting in 2001, he’s been a judge on popular reality shows like Pop Idol, American Idol, Britain’s Got Talent, America’s Got Talent, and The X Factor.

For 14 years, The X Factor had a huge impact on British music, launching the careers of major artists like One Direction, Leona Lewis, Little Mix, JLS, and Olly Murs.

With fewer people watching and reports of past contestants being mistreated, ITV announced in 2021 that the show wouldn’t be returning for another season.

Simon, still actively seeking out the next breakout success, signed a major agreement with Netflix last year. He’s since argued that record labels aren’t discovering enough new talent, as aspiring artists now face intense competition online.
