Simon Cowell "wants to marry Lauren Silverman".
The 61-year-old music mogul broke his back when he fell off his electric bike at his Malibu home 10 weeks ago and friends say the accident was a wake-up call for Simon leading him to reassess his relationship with Lauren, 43, the mother of his son Eric, six.
A source told MailOnline: "He definitely no longer feels invincible and this has been a wake up for him about his health and lifestyle. He feels lucky to be recovering at all. The fall was of life-changing seriousness. Some in his circle think it might even make him think again about making a commitment of marriage to Lauren. Never say never."
Simon and Lauren have been spending more time together during the Covid-19 pandemic and their relationship is going from strength to strength, with friends calling her "thoroughly decent, kind, loyal and supportive".
