With a very public divorce behind them and the rest of their lives ahead, Andrew and Lauren Silverman are moving on.
Lauren, who’s five months pregnant with Simon Cowell’s baby, has excitedly jumped into her new life with the “X Factor” honcho by meeting up with him in the South of France, at her new Manhattan apartment and, most recently, in Los Angeles, since her late-summer split from Andrew.
Confidenti@l can now report that Andrew has found a new love, too.
“Andrew has a new girlfriend,” says a source close to the Silvermans. “She has two kids — a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old.”
SIMON COWELL'S EX EXPLAINS 'HEARTBREAKING' ABORTION
A friend of Andrew’s confirms he’s been dating a thirtysomething widow and that they were introduced through a friend after the Silvermans’ mid-August divorce. We hear the pair has been dating for several weeks.
“Why he’d want to get involved with two more kids, I have no idea,” says our first snitch, wishing Andrew and his new gal pal luck. Andrew and Lauren share joint custody of their 7-year-old son, Adam.
Like Andrew, his new love endured tough times before getting back in the dating game — her ex-husband died last year.
Meanwhile, “X Factor” judge Simon Cowell and Lauren are being pretty cheeky, says a pal of the pair. Thursday night, Cowell posted a Twitter photo of himself holding two puppies and wrote, “Two new arrivals … Any suggestions for names?” A Cowell confidant tells Confidenti@l that he and his baby mama might be taking name suggestions for a far-less furry arrival — their love child, due in February.
“I know they’re trying to think of baby names,” says the pair’s pal.
SIMON COWELL, LAUREN SILVERMAN SEEN ARGUING IN NEW YORK
As we reported last month, Lauren and Cowell are expecting a bouncing baby boy.
Lauren is scheduled to return to New York this week to resume expectant-mommy duties. Cowell is set to stay out West until “X Factor” concludes shooting in December. And Andrew has a kid-free week ahead of him to romance his new girlfriend.
‘GRAVITY’ TALK NOT TOO ATTRACTIVE
A Q&A with “Gravity” stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney at a Manhattan theater was “a disaster,” according to one attendee, who tells us the audience had to sit in the dark while the actors answered questions from guests. Our tipster says the crowd outside the Regal Cinema on 42nd St. waited hours to get in and some were denied admission, despite being invited. “Then there were no lights, Clooney’s voice in the dark. How is that different from any other fantasy I have had?” the source asked.
HIS FASHION IS GOING ROCK STEADY
Rock-star outfitter John Varvatos admitted he still gets dazzled by living legends like Lou Reed, who did a Thursday book signing of “Transformer” at Varvatos’ Bowery store. “If you look at the numbers, we’re ‘aging rockers,’ but I don’t look at the numbers anymore,” the youthful fiftysomething haberdasher told Confidenti@l. He then laughed, “Of course, it’s easier to say that now than when you’re 25.” Also in attendance were photographers Mick Rock and Bob Gruen and author Salman Rushdie.

L.A. IS UP TO SOME NEW TRICKS
Rising star magician Daniel Fernandez is fast becoming the best-loved party guest in Hollywood. Fernandez had Gene Simmons, Chris Evans and Karina Smirnoff spellbound by his card tricks at the “Machete Kills” after-party in L.A. last week. They join a long line of his celeb fans, including Jim Carrey, Josh Brolin, Will.i.am, Bryan Cranston and Oscar winner George Clooney, who we hear told him, “You have a big future.”
BIG DAY FOR SMART SET
Jennifer Lopez boy toy Casper Smart was without his famous girlfriend when he was mobbed by a group of Latina women who wanted to take photos with him at the Redbury Hotel in Hollywood this week.

WAKEUP CALL FOR NAOMI
No, Naomi Watts hasn’t given up and resorted to a life in her robe and pajamas. The 45-year-old actress is just walking to the set of her new film, “While We’re Young,” now shooting in downtown Manhattan. The movie stars Watts and Ben Stiller as a married couple who befriend newlyweds Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried — who was recently spotted filming scenes in a pair of tighty whities.
XTINA TO DO MOMMY TRACK
“The Voice” judge Christina Aguilera plans to spend more time with her little boy and less time being one. “If I have to choose between working out and spending time with my son after a hard day, it’s not even a question,” Aguilera says in November’s Redbook magazine. As for her “Voice” co-stars Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton, Aguilera says, “I know these guys so well, they really are like my brothers, no joke. There’s a 12-year-old-boy in me who loves to come out and play with them.”

READERS FLOCK TO ‘DUCK’ GUYS
Quack, quack, Kardashians. “Duck Dynasty” is America’s new first family of tabloid magazines.
Mag sales from last week have stunned the publishing industry, with Us Weekly’s surprising cover featuring the cast of A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” proving to be a monster hit.
“Us Weekly has been averaging sales of around 500,000 copies a week. Early numbers show the ‘Duck Dynasty’ cover did at least 600,000,” a magazine insider says. “It may have even outsold the industry leader, People magazine, with Michael Douglas on the cover. It’s too early to definitively tell who won.”
Our insider says this could be the biggest-selling Us Weekly of the year.
It’s an unexpected hit for the weekly, which normally might have opted for a cover on a Bravo or E! series. “Dynasty’s” Robertson clan became wealthy through producing and selling the Duck Commander, a popular duck call.

CLIMAX AHEAD IN ‘MASTERS OF SEX’
In his new Showtime series, “Masters of Sex,” Michael Sheen plays a doctor studying sex 60 years ago. “I’m hoping that I can just sit in a house having sex with myself constantly, having little babies that look like me,” Sheen told Confidenti@l about what sex will be like 60 years from now. “And I hope that everybody else will be doing that as well, having sex with me and having little babies that look like me. That is the future!” One can only hope.
PLAX’S SHOT AT BEING VEGAN
New vegan and former Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress hit New York for some chow, and was spotted at the Suite 36 grand opening in midtown with his wife. “He was throwing back water and requesting specially made vegetarian dishes that were not on the grand-opening menu,” a spy tells us. “He never moved from the VIP area except for one bathroom trip with security in tow.”
