The divorce of Lauren Silverman – who is pregnant with “X Factor” impresario Simon Cowell’s baby — from her real estate mogul husband Andrew has been finalized.
The settlement they reached in August was approved and signed by Manhattan State Supreme Court Justice Ellen Gesmer, it was disclosed Thursday.
No details were given but The Post reported in August that Lauren will get about $2 million, half of what was believed to be a $4 million pre-nuptial agreement.
TMZ reported Thursday that one of the settlement conditions would require Cowell to pay Andrew Silverman a $50,000 penalty if he goes near the Silvermans’ 7-year-old son, Adam.
The agreement also says that Andrew Silverman cannot badmouth Cowell to Adam. Lauren and Silverman agreed to prevent Adam from calling anyone other than them “mother” or “father,” TMZ said – meaning that Cowell cannot be treated as the boy’s father.
The cause of the divorce has been changed from adultery to “broken down irretrievably.” And Lauren gets $3,000 a month in child support, TMZ said.
The Silvermans were married for 10 years. Cowell, the former “American idol” star, was named as a correspondent when divorce papers were filed in July.
Page Six’s Emily Smith reported in August that Cowell and the cuckolded Andrew Silverman, who had been close friends, cleared the air at a meeting before Lauren signed the divorce papers.
“Cowell wanted a face-to-face meeting to clear the air and make sure Andrew wouldn’t speak out about him. No money changed hands, but Simon made Andrew feel good, said he feels bad about the situation, he will take care of everything and he hoped they will remain friends,” a source said.
Andrew and Cowell had been close friends for years after meeting in Barbados, and took regular trips on the mogul’s yacht along with Lauren and the rest of Cowell’s harem of ladies.
