Sinitta has spoken out after sparking rumours her friend Simon Cowell has married his fiancée Lauren Silverman thanks to her comments in a new interview.

Simon, 64, proposed to partner Lauren, 47, in 2021. The couple share son Eric, 10, together.

The Britain’s Got Talent boss has previously kept his wedding plans close to his chest. However, Sinitta recently addressed Simon and Lauren’s marriage status and hinted they had tied the knot.

Sinitta and Simon Cowell

When asked if Simon and Lauren have set a date for their wedding, Sinitta told Woman: “Oh, are they not married yet?”

She was then asked if they’ve secretly tied the knot. Sinitta replied: “I’m not saying anything, but I’m sure they are married. I call her Mrs Cowell anyway, so they may as well be.”

I’m not saying anything, but I’m sure they are married.

In a new statement, Sinitta clarified her comments. She said: “Apologies to everyone, I would like to clarify a comment I made in response to a question about when Lauren and Simon might tie the knot.

When asked, I playfully responded by pretending to be confused and joked, ‘Wait, aren’t they already married? I’m pretty sure they are?’ My intention was to deflect the question with humor, not to suggest that they had secretly married.

“To be clear, if they had married in private and I were aware of it, I would respect their privacy and not disclose
such information.

“I kindly ask that in future conversations, you refrain from asking me about their wedding plans or potential future
children, as I genuinely do not have any information on these topics. I enjoy engaging in light-hearted conversations, but this particular comment has unintentionally led to misinformation. I appreciate your understanding.”

ED! contacted reps for Simon for comment.

Simon on Lucy Spraggan’s wedding

Elsewhere, Simon recently had an important and special role at another wedding celebration.

Simon walked X Factor star Lucy Spraggan down the aisle as she married her wife Emilia.

Speaking about the role, Simon gushed to HELLO!: “Being asked to walk her down the aisle made me realise the significance and importance of that role.

“And throughout the day, I was thinking even though it’s been a relatively short time, we do feel like family. And we share a very special bond.”

Lucy added: “Simon and I were standing outside the door and my song started playing. I was already crying, and Simon definitely had a tear in his eye.

I was linking arms with him but then I realised I was holding on to his arm. He kept saying, ‘You’re OK, you’re all right.’ Then when Emilia walked in with her dad I just sobbed.”
