Despite his previous staunch vows to never walk up the aisle, an insider previously claimed the past two years – in which the global pandemic hit and the star broke his back – have made Simon change his stance.
The source told People: ‘They have fun together, as well as being each other’s rock.
‘They are both passionate but really do bring out the very best in each other. As a family, they all have such an incredible bond.
‘A lot of things have happened in the last few years and just like for everyone else in the world, these things have all been a reminder about what is precious to them.

Simon previously admitted that he can’t see himself ever dating again as he opened up on changing his mind about marriage after falling in love with Lauren.
He said he decided to propose to his long-time girlfriend in January after feeling like they were already engaged while living together during lockdown.
He described the Covid-19 pandemic as a ‘make or break’ moment for relationships and said lockdown helped him and Lauren to grow closer and realise how much they get on.
Simon, who has never been married, admitted that he can’t see himself dating ever again as he leaves his bachelor lifestyle behind to tie the knot with Lauren.
He told The Sun: ‘I also just couldn’t see myself ever dating anyone again. The idea of going out on a first date now is too weird.’
Despite previously insisting that he ‘didn’t believe’ in marriage, the father-of-one has reassessed his views after falling in love with Lauren.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge revealed another reason he decided to propose was because he felt it was the right thing to do for their son Eric.
‘For Eric, as he gets older, he will be asked more and more about his parents, and I thought it was the right thing to do for him,’ he added.
American socialite Lauren also has son Adam, 16, from her previous relationship with businessman Andrew Silverman.
