Simon Cowell has told his pregnant lover to stay away from him.
Lauren Silverman - who is expecting a child with the music mogul following a passionate affair- is eager to join the star on his Mediterranean yacht after settling her messy divorce with ex-husband Andrew Silverman earlier this week, but Simon has warned to her keep her distance until the dust has settled.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Simon thought the divorce would take longer to finalise and he is insisting he needs time to sort out his head.
"Lauren has asked Simon to charter his private jet so she can join him but he is making excuses and just doesn't know what to do."
Simon's former pal, Andrew - who filed for divorce four weeks ago after discovering Lauren was pregnant - listed 'The X Factor' boss as the co-respondent in the legal documents, as well as alleging adultery and "cruel and inhuman treatment" as the reasons behind his marriage failing.
However, the 53-year-old star avoided the court hearing - which saw the former couple agree on shared custody of their seven-year-old son, Adam - by holidaying with a bevy of beauties aboard his £30 million Slipstream vessel in St. Tropez, France.
A source explained: "The yacht is the ultimate floating bachelor pad. There are magnums of Dom Perignon champagne in ice buckets all over the place.
"Simon is spending a lot of time alone in his cabin. The atmosphere is very sedate."
