Simon Cowell And Lauren Silverman Affair 'An Unbelievable Story Of Betrayal,’ Her Brother-In-Law Claims

Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman's affair has received a lot of media attention, but Lauren's brother-in-law doesn't have any kind words for their love story.

Lauren Silverman divorced from her real estate tycoon husband Andrew, while expecting a child with Simon, the 53-year-old media mogul.

Andrew's brother, Alexander, told New York Post newspaper: ''It is an unbelievable story of betrayal. It is a sad story and a tragic story," Xpose Entertainment reports.

The Silverman brothers must also find it embarrassing that Lauren recently reunited with Simon in the French Riviera on August 21, where they were spotted holding hands, kissing, and overall PDA-ing in tons of photos.

"They had so much to catch up on, and there were no distractions," a source shared in the September 9 issue of Us Weekly. "Plus, they love that they don't have to hide anything anymore."

Andrew was reportedly livid after Lauren's "betrayal," and is seeking to name Cowell as a co-respondent in divorce papers, which were apparently filed in Manhattan Supreme Court two weeks ago, Xpose Entertainment reports.

However, New York City is a "no-fault" divorce state, meaning Andrew's move could be seen as a way to seek revenge and to embarrass Simon, who would have to reveal his finances and details of their romance on the witness stand, Xpose Entertainment reports.

Noted divorce attorney Martha Cohen Stine explained: ''It's really a signal to the spouse who cheated that the wronged spouse is very angry and that it's going to be a very nasty, scorched-earth, high-profile litigation.''

Another top matrimonial attorney, William Zabel, has agreed, adding: ''It's very nasty. I assume it's to embarrass them and get them to settle.''
