"   While I am certain we&amp;#039;d all be way more comfortable thinking that 53-year-old Simon Cowell reproduces asexually, like a snarky English starfish, it seems that he produces his spawn the usual way. Except for the fact that the lady allegedly pregnant with Cowell&amp;#039;s first kid is his friend Andrew Silverman&amp;#039;s wife, Lauren, according to an exclusive from Us Weekly.    While New York socialite Silverman, 36, has reportedly been estranged from her real estate mogul husband, a close friend of Cowell&amp;#039;s, the two are not yet officially divorced, and the rumors make it sound like the romance between Lauren and Simon happened while the Silvermans were still co-habitating, or at least still making snippy, passive-aggressive conversation over $300 sushi at their solid gold dinner table.   She is now planning to ditch Silverman for good and be with Cowell. An insider says: &amp;quot;Lauren and Andrew have been unhappy in their marriage for some time, and their divorce has been in the works for a while. As their marriage deteriorated, she and Simon became close.&amp;quot; Yeah, close like a fox, apparently.   And If you thought &amp;quot;estranged from her real estate mogul husband&amp;quot; was the most bougie sentence fragment you will read today, think again: Lauren has been a regular on Cowell&amp;#039;s visits to St. Barts.   If anyone happens to run into Andrew Silverman, buy him a tequila shot and some Valium for me.  Follow Anna on Twitter.   Image via Getty "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
