Andrew and Lauren Silverman divorced in December 2013

Andrew and Lauren, who have a nine-year-old son Adam, were married for ten years but divorced in 2013. The split came after Lauren and Simon began a relationship and she became pregnant with his baby.

The ex-couple seem to be on good terms, however, and recently spent the day together with Andrew's new fiancée.

"Samantha, Lauren and Andrew spent a day together this summer on Adam's camp visit day and had a really great day," the source added. "Everyone is on good terms and Adam is away at the moment on vacation with Lauren and Simon."

Few details are known about Andrew and Samantha's relationship, as the real estate businessman likes to keep his personal life out of the spotlight. According to reports, Samantha is a mum-of-two and was married to Bear Sterns executive Matthew Zimmerman, but he sadly passed away in 2012.

Speaking a few months after his split, Andrew said that his priority was his son Adam, who lives with his dad on the Upper East Side in New York.

"It was a very difficult time in my life," Andrew told The Observer. "I learned a lot, moved forward. I learned a lot about myself as an individual, the importance of family. My focus has been on my son throughout the whole ordeal."

"Being in the public spotlight is not something I envy. It's never been my way," he added. "Privacy has tremendous value. I've tried to be as quiet as possible even though everyone wants to hear about this hoopla."
