Lauren, 47, appears to have launched a brand new Instagram and notably, she’s now going by Lauren Michelle Cowell. Her page is currently set to private, but eagle-eyed fans noticed that she deleted her previous account and that one of her best pals, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, is already following her new one. The couple, who first met in 2004 and began dating years later, got engaged on Christmas Eve in 2021 in Barbados, where they first met. At the time of the proposal, a source told People, “They are both super happy. They’ve been together a long time now and adore each other so it’s not a huge surprise to their close friends.” “They have fun together, as well as being each other’s rock,” the insider added. “They are both passionate [about one another], but really do bring out the very best in each other. As a family, they all have such an incredible bond.” Back in 2022, Cowell told The Sun that he was in control of planning their wedding. “I am planning it all, otherwise I know what will happen — there will be 600 people and it’ll get out of control, like my 50th birthday party,” Cowell said. “No one knows when it’s going to be — that’ll be a surprise, even for Lauren.” He added, “I don’t want to have one of these ghastly wedding planners and all the arguments that happen, and who you do invite and who you don’t invite. The whole thing just seems like too much hassle.” It comes after Cowell opened up about his battle with depression, revealing that at one point he “didn’t care” if he lived or died. On the Diary of a CEO podcast, the America’s Got Talent judge, 65, recalled the heartache of losing his mother Julie in 2015, after having already lost his father Eric in 1999. He said it sent him on a “spiral” that culminated in him feeling as though he was “dying inside”. “I was on a downward spiral at that point,” Cowell said. “I lost everyone, you know. I’ve lost my parents. It’s finality now. What I said about the material things I’ve got, everything just meant nothing at that point.” The TV judge said one of the hardest parts of the whole experience was having to still be on television while pretending he was happy. “I felt like a clown because I’m dying inside, and yet I’ve still got to do what I’m being paid to do as best as I could,” he said. “I’d put on a ton of weight, I was eating junk. If I had got hit by a bus the following day, I’d be dead, but I wasn’t worried about anything like that.”
