He then added, "I appreciate the question. Unfortunately I have to keep this, for the moment, private. It's just one of those things."

Lauren is reportedly 10 weeks into her pregnancy.

Sources told Us Weekly that "Lauren and Andrew have been unhappy in their marriage for some time, and their divorce has been in the works for a while," the source went on to claim, "As their marriage deteriorated, she and Simon became close."
