Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman are planning an intimate wedding after revealing they "don't want a showbiz style wedding".
The 62-year-old music boss and his fiance, 44, jetted off to his £25million Malibu mansion to plan the ceremony.
A source told The Sun: "Simon and Lauren don't want a big showbiz style wedding."
"Simon and Lauren are ridiculously, nauseatingly in love - incredibly, lockdown brought them closer than ever," they added.
"'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 X Factor founder is also planning for their son Eric, eight, and Lauren's son Adam, 16 to attend the event.
Simon said how his son played a "big part" in his proposal to Lauren, who he was with for 13 years before he popped the question.
The record label boss told Entertainment Tonight: "One hundred percent he had to coach me. And we planned it. He was a big part of it.
He said how the pandemic brought him and Lauren even closer together, and made him change his mind on marriage.
Simon had previously called marriage "boring", but he has clearly changed his tune.
"I think after everything all of us had gone through over the past two years, it has changed our lives in so many ways."
"Family is everything and that is what I kind of took away from it."
Lauren was allegedly "stunned" by Simon's proposal and "burst into tears", according to another source.
"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."
A friend of the couple told People magazine: "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."
The pair started dating when she was still married to millionaire property developer Andrew Silverman.
