The hubby of Simon Cowell’s baby mama knew the “X Factor” judge had been flirting with his wife and might have been aware of their extra-marital affair.
Andrew Silverman was even present for hours-long phone conversations his now-estranged wife Lauren Silverman had with Cowell, friends told TMZ.
Friends close the couple are split in their view of Lauren’s cheating with Cowell, according to TMZ.

One group believes Andrew Silverman had complete knowledge of the affair while the other insisted he only sees the “warning signs” now, looking back with 20-20 hindsight.
It was earlier reported that Silverman carried on her secret trysts with Cowell by telling her husband she was going to Miami to visit her mother.
Sources exclusively confirmed to Page Six that Lauren would sneak off with the acid-tongued judge by telling her husband hubby she was visiting her mom — and then she and Cowell would meet up.
Most recently, Lauren flew to England for the final of Cowell’s show “Britain’s Got Talent” on June 8. It is believed she became pregnant around that time.
One source said, “Interesting that Lauren used her mother as her cover story.” Another source said, “At the same time she was telling Andrew they should give their relationship another try, possibly to take them over the ten-year mark” as stipulated in their prenup.
