Simon Cowell and his fiancée Lauren looked happier than ever during a sun-soaked getaway as they shared a rare insight into their home life with a post shared to Instagram on Friday.
The music mogul, 66, and the socialite, 48, who share son Eric, 11, put on an affectionate display as Simon wrapped his arm around her while sitting on the back of a boat.
In the snap, Lauren looked effortlessly chic in a red one-piece bathing suit and black-tinted aviator sunglasses.
Meanwhile, shirtless Simon looked relaxed in a pair of black shorts and his signature sunglasses.
The couple were seen smiling together as they soaked up the sun while cruising along the sea.
Lauren captioned her Story, ‘Us’ accompanied by a line of red love heart emojis.

Simon and Lauren share their son Eric and five dogs – three Yorkshire Terriers named Freddie, Squiddly and Diddly, as well as Daisy and Pebbles.
Lauren also has a son called Adam, Simon’s step-son, from her previous marriage.
Simon has recently said a wedding is on the horizon after Lauren legally changed her surname to Cowell.
The music mogul and Lauren have shared their lives in the new Netflix docuseries The Next Act, which follows Simon’s nationwide search for young, talented musicians.
In between scenes of the X Factor star at work are slices of family life with Lauren and Eric, and one episode shows Lauren signing paperwork to formally change her name by deed poll to Simon.
Now, Simon, who has previously been vocal about his reluctance to marry before proposing to Lauren on Christmas Eve 2021, has insisted the two will wed.
‘I always shied away from saying it’s going to happen whenever,’ he explained. ‘When we decide to do it, it will be private, then people will know about it, but obviously the fact that she talks about changing her name, it’s quite obvious where all this is leading to.’
‘We have a very, very close bond. I adore her. We are a very happy family, genuinely,’ he gushed.

Simon revealed that whilst he had to persuade Lauren to appear in his new show, the experience only strengthened his love for her.
‘She was a bit reluctant [to be on camera] in the beginning, and then she got more used to it,’ he told Us Weekly.
‘The funny thing about her is that she is identical on the show as she is in real life. When I was watching the show back, I was absolutely cracking up at some of the scenes.’
In the name change scene Lauren, who was previously married to businessman Andrew Silverman, is seen explaining that she has decided she no longer wants to go by her old married name.
‘Look, I am Mrs Cowell,’ she says. ‘I have created a life with Simon, we have a child together, we have a solid relationship.’
The name change, she says, was about aligning with Simon and Eric.
‘This is more about the unity of our family and us having the same name. When we discussed it, Simon said, “Yeah, I would really like you to change your name.”
‘It wasn’t a dramatic statement, it was just: “This is who I am, and this is who we are”.’
The couple first met in Barbados in 2004, but didn’t start dating until around 2012. They welcomed their son Eric in 2014 and got engaged in 2021.
