Lauren Silverman Publicly Adopts Cowell Surname Ahead of Any Wedding Plans

She says the switch signals a unified family identity.

Overview

  • Silverman, 48, debuted an Instagram account as Lauren Cowell and stated, “I am Mrs. Cowell,” in comments to the Daily Mail reported Friday.
  • She said Simon Cowell and their 11-year-old son, Eric, influenced the choice as a visible sign that the family shares one name.
  • She kept the surname Silverman after her divorce for the sake of her older son, Adam, 20, before deciding to align with Cowell.
  • The pair have been engaged since a Barbados beach proposal on Christmas Eve 2021 but have not planned a ceremony, describing any future wedding as low‑key and unconventional.
  • Reports note Cowell has expressed reluctance about marriage because he values personal space, which she says she respects during difficult periods such as Liam Payne’s death.
