GIRL ABOUT TOWN: Simon Cowell buries the hatchet with property mogul Andrew Silverman after stealing his wife four years ago
When Simon Cowell stole property tycoon Andrew Silverman's wife Lauren from under his nose in 2013, the two men fell out so spectacularly they vowed never speak to speak again.
Now, against all the odds, the warring pair have buried the hatchet – and, amazingly, it is Andrew who first offered an olive branch to Simon with a series of text messages.
I'm told they are even considering a holiday together next year with their new families. Lauren and Simon have a three-year-old son, Eric, while Andrew recently married wealthy widow Samantha Zimmerman, who has been dubbed 'a Lauren lookalike'.

Famously, the protagonists were pictured together on a yacht during a 2012 holiday when the affair between Lauren and the X Factor mogul was at its height. Simon told this paper in 2015: 'I'm not proud of the circumstances. I can't hold my head up about it.'
At one point, relations were so bad that Andrew reportedly banned Simon from being in the same room as his son Adam during Lauren's visits to see him in New York.
A source said: 'Simon has always been keen to put the message out that relations were cordial for the sake of Adam. In reality, everything was extremely acrimonious. Now things really are cordial – in fact they are amicable, friendly even. Everyone is really surprised. There is even talk of a joint family holiday like the old days. It's bizarre.'

A source close to Simon added: 'Yes, in short they have all buried the hatchet and things are good and respectful.
'Andrew and Simon are in touch – they have mostly exchanged texts on various important occasions such as when Simon's mother passed away. Everyone has moved on.'
Lauren flies to New York on a weekly basis to visit Adam. The source added: 'Andrew and Lauren have kept everything respectful for Adam's sake. That is their number one priority.'
