She burst into tears - happy tears - and obviously said ‘yes’ straight away.” The insider added, “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.” The source concluded, “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.”
