Now that she’s pregnant with Simon Cowell’s baby, scheming Manhattan social climber Lauren Silverman wants the filthy-rich “X-Factor” mogul to marry her, sources said.
And Cowell – who has been named as a co-respondent by Silverman’s outraged husband Andrew in their messy divorce – has said he will do his baby mama’s bidding, according to the sources.
“He promised to marry her after learning she was pregnant, and she is trying to make sure she keeps his promise.” a source close to the situation told The Post today.
“Simon says he will do the right thing for the baby.”

Cowell and Lauren had been carrying on their illicit trysts for more than a year, right under the nose of spurned spouse Andrew, several sources noted.
“She was sleeping with him on his yacht, while Andrew was there,” said one insider.
A few months ago, Lauren boldly posted photos of herself in a bikini, snuggling with Cowell on his yacht, with the caption, “Me and my little Simey monster.” She recently deleted the shot, and several others of herself with Cowell, from the social media site.

When Page Six asked Lauren about the photo and her alleged affair in May, she burst into tears and said, “Simon is my best friend, but please don’t write we are having an affair…it would destroy my family.”
Lauren had pretended to treat Cowell as just a close pal as they yachted and hobnobbed together — only to blindside her real estate developer husband Andrew, 37, well after the affair was in full swing, sources said.
“It is an unbelievable story of betrayal. It is a sad story and a tragic story,” Andrew’s brother, Alexander, told The Post.
One friend of the shapely brunette said that the Silvermans “weren’t estranged, as some friends of Lauren have claimed.
“The suggestion that she was an estranged wife who fell into another man’s arms is not the case.”
In fact, Andrew had been so oblivious to the sordid, under-his-nose affair that he recently upgraded Lauren’s engagement ring with a 10-karat diamond, a friend said.
“She is a total gold digger,” one pal said.
Another added, “The pregnancy was by design.”

Andrew is so livid, he’s seeking revenge on both Cowell and his straying wife — who is 10 weeks pregnant with Cowell’s baby. He’s taking the highly unusual step of embarrassing Cowell personally by naming him as a co-respondent in divorce papers, which were filed under the radar in Manhattan Supreme Court two weeks ago.
