Simon Cowell will spend three months planning wedding to Lauren in Malibu as friends say ‘plans will surprise everyone’
SIMON Cowell will spend three months in Malibu with fiancé Lauren Silverman as they plan their wedding.
The 62-year-old proposed to Lauren, 44, in January during a romantic holiday to Barbados.
Now The Sun can reveal The X Factor judge Simon will jet to his house in Malibu so he and Lauren can work on their dream day - and we're told they're going to surprise everyone with the plans.
A source said: "Simon and Lauren don't want a big showbiz style wedding.
"They really just want an intimate affair with close family and friends, which may surprise a lot of people."
While Simon, who shares eight-year-old son Eric with Lauren, is there to share his thoughts on the big day, he's letting her make all of the big decisions.
The source added: “Simon will spend three months in Malibu going through the details and finalising plans. Lauren is excited to plan their perfect day."
Romantic Simon popped the question in front of Eric and step-son Adam, from Lauren’s first marriage, on Christmas Eve.

Last night a source said: “Simon and Lauren are ridiculously, nauseatingly in love - incredibly, lockdown brought them closer than ever.
“Lauren was absolutely stunned and never in a million years expected Simon to pop the question. She burst into tears - happy tears - and obviously said ‘yes’ straight away.
“It was important to Simon that the kids were there too, as he adores them both and the family they’ve become.
“Lauren has been Simon’s rock over these past few years - supporting him when he broke his back, and through thick and thin generally. They make a wonderful couple.
“Whilst Simon never thought he was the marrying type, he’s realised he’s met the woman of his dreams - and couldn’t be happier. In the words of Beyoncé, it was time to put a ring on it.”
The mogul, worth £360million, has been dating the stunning American socialite - who is also a millionaire in her own right - for 13 years.
