Simon Cowell steps out in black suit alongside fiancé Lauren Silverman for Broadway opening of highly anticipated musical & Juliet in NYC
Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman were stylish figures as they arrived at the highly anticipated opening night of the musical & Juliet on Thursday
The 63-year-old America’s Got Talent judge and his 45-year-old fiancé opted for a simple yet stylish look ahead of the opening night performance at New York City’s Stephen Sondheim Theater.
The coming-of-age musical features the music of Swedish pop mastermind Max Martin and a book by David West Read that focuses on a “what if” scenario where Juliet survives at the end of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

& Juliet initially received critical acclaim on London’s West End in 2019 and was nominated for nine Laurence Olivier Awards in 2020, including Best New Musical.
Before the show, Cowell and Silverman made their way to the red carpet, where they struck a few poses for the line of photographers.
The former American Idol judge looked stylish in a classic black suit that he wore with a white shirt, which he left unbuttoned several times.
The London native also wore a pair of black dress shoes and had his dark hair cropped short and styled back from his face, along with a stubble beard.

Heading to the altar: The creator and judge of America’s Got Talent proposed to Silverman last Christmas Eve in front of their children
Silverman, an entrepreneur and socialite, showed off her fashion sense in a cream skirt that fell to her ankles and a black cropped blazer over a matching top.
She also wore a pair of black boots and carried a small matching handbag during the evening out on the town.
For the grand opening night, Silverman, 45, had her raven black locks styled long, straight and wavy down her chest and about mid-back with a center parting.

The pair famously met in 2004 and began an affair while Silverman was still married to one of Cowell’s close friends. They subsequently welcomed a child, Eric, and have been together ever since.
The television personality and record executive proposed to Lauren while on a romantic holiday in Barbados last Christmas Eve by getting down on one knee in front of their eight-year-old son and Silverman’s son Adam, 16, from her first marriage to Andrew Silverman.
