Love is in the air — and they don’t care who knows it! Now that Simon Cowell‘s relationship with pregnant New York City socialite Lauren Silverman is out in the open, the parents-to-be are happily indulging in some low-key public displays of affection. Reuniting in the French Riviera on Aug. 21, the couple held hands and kissed for all to see.
“They had so much to catch up on, and there were no distractions,” a source shares in the Sept. 9 issue of Us Weekly, on stands now. “Plus, they love that they don’t have to hide anything anymore.”
The X Factor judge, 53, is “very attentive to Lauren,” pal Michael Hunter adds. Case in point? A source tells Us that Cowell treated his 14-weeks-pregnant girlfriend to a romantic trip to Cannes and a $12,000-a-night suite at the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc during their recent reunion.
