Katie wrote in her column last month that ‘people have affairs for all sorts of reasons’ and that people shouldn’t feel regret over extra-marital affairs.
She referred to Simon Cowell’s affair with married Lauren Silverman (who was also his best friend’s wife) wrote in her NOW column: ‘People have affairs for all sorts of reasons- because they’re bored, crave taking a risk or want to inject some spice in their life.’
‘Some can be short lived, some are secrets taken to the grave and others become the beginnings of a new relationship.’
‘These things can and do happen- and they’ll continue to happen,’ she added.
Katie then continued, highlighting that something positive had come out of Simon and Lauren’s affair.
She wrote: ‘From their own relationship, Simon and Lauren have brought a baby, Eric, into the world.’
‘Many believe life should be lived by the rules set by society but sometimes it just doesn’t happen- people change over time; relationships don’t always continue as they first began. So don’t have regrets, Simon. Live your own life with your family and don’t worry about what other’s think.’
Judging by Katie’s positivity over Simon Cowell’s affair, could she be persuaded to give Kieran another chance?
