Simon Cowell and his fiancée Lauren Silverman stepped out for a rare public outing in London on Wednesday evening to support the music mogul's America's Got Talent co-star, Sofia Vergara, for a VIP screening of her upcoming Netflix series, Griselda.
The Syco boss, 64, and his fiancée, 46, were dressed to the nines for the glitzy night out and, at one point, Simon braved the cold in just a grey T-shirt showing off his physique and impressive tan.
Another snap showed the couple smiling for photographers before heading into the screening to watch the show alongside other celebrity guests including the leading star herself, Sofia, who looked stunning in a one-shoulder floor-length black gown, and statement gold earrings.

The 46-year-old paired her gorgeous gown with a matching woven-detail clutch and brown croc-effect court shoes. The pair were also photographed inside the exclusive May Fair Hotel, smiling alongside Sofia and other guests.
The Colombian actress plays Griselda Blanco, a savvy and ambitious mother-of-three who becomes a ruthless and ambitious boss of a growing drug empire. The show will land on Netflix on 24 January and also stars Karol G and Vanessa Ferlito.

This was further emphasised when he suffered a health scare in 2020 after falling from his electric bike while riding it on the grounds of his huge home in Miami. Simon broke his back in three different places and underwent surgery to have a metal rod implement in his spine.

The move left Simon in "constant" fear. Over £1 million worth of jewellery was taken from their home.

I've kind of looked after my body through diet, and exercise, pretty well over the years, but what have I done about my brain and my mind?'"
He added: "The answer is nothing and now's the time to do it. So, it was almost like my head going to the gym… I made the appointment and I sat down, really embarrassed and I said, 'Look, I just don't know where to start.' But within about 20 minutes it was as if I'd known him for 10, 20 years."
