Simon Cowell's fiancée talks babies

Back in 2015, Lauren spoke exclusively to HELLO!, revealing: "I think if you have one child it would be lovely to have a girl.

"When I was pregnant with Eric I was told by the doctors he was a girl. But he just fooled them. There were a few names floating around but we had our name picked out and it would be lovely to have a girl."

She jokingly added: "The only problem is that I will feel sorry for her when she is older because she won't be able to leave the house, and no man would dare come near here because Simon would be so protective."

Simon himself spoke about the subject of expanding the family, telling The Mirror in 2018: "If you’d have asked five years ago would I have one now, I’d be thinking, 'I might have left it a bit late'.

"But once you’ve had one you think, how could you imagine him not being here? So when it happens, it happens." The TV star continued: "I can’t really think about life before Eric, so yes I would consider another child."

Speaking emotionally on stage as Simon accepted an award for his 'Exceptional Generosity in Philanthropy', Lauren told the audience: "Simon has been teaching our son Eric the value and the importance of helping others - now I'm going to cry.

"It means so much to me as a mom for our son to have a father, and my elder son Adam to have a stepfather who is such an amazing role model in so many ways."
