EXCLUSIVE - 'You can’t go to sleep with a Gucci handbag': Simon Cowell's pregnant lover cheated on husband because he was never there.

• Stepfather claims 36-year-old had affair with X-Factor creator because she was lonely
• Mother-to-be Lauren Silverman seen shopping at a Hamptons toy store
• Husband is staying with her at seaside home but couple are said to be barely talking
• The two have been arguing over custody rights ever since news broke that she was expecting a baby with longtime friend Simon Cowel

The married socialite who is pregnant with Simon Cowell’s baby cheated on her husband because ‘cuddling up to five Gucci bags’ at night did not satisfy her longing for a man.Lauren Silverman, who has enjoyed holidays on Cowell's yacht - sometimes with her husband and sometimes just with the X-Factor creator, lived a life of luxury that was empty without her husband Andrew around because he was often away on business, the man who raised her has claimed.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Stewart Eisenberg said that Lauren slept with Cowell because she was lonely and you ‘can’t put a credit card under your arm when you go out to dinner’.

He revealed that in her youth Lauren ‘broke a lot of hearts’ and had men lining up to date her as she was ‘breathtaking’ in her beauty.
Her mother Carole also has a checkered romantic history as she lured Mr Eisenberg away from the woman he was seeing when they first met - and married her next husband ‘five minutes’ after they eventually divorced.
Mr Eisenberg, 73, was Carole’s second husband and was married to her for 20 years until they divorced in 2004.

He spoke out as Lauren, 36, and husband Andrew, 37, continued their crisis talks at their $4 million home in Bridgehampton, New York, over her infidelity.
The couple are said to be hardly talking but are staying in the same house to try to keep things normal for their seven-year-old son Adam, who has been staying there while attending a nearby summer camp.
Lauren meanwhile is 10 weeks pregnant with Cowell’s child, after having an affair which may have been going on for more than a year.
Mr Eisenberg, a real estate mogul who lives in Miami, said that Andrew’s long hours and frequent trips away from the family’s New York-based Andalex Group property company may have left Lauren feeling like a bored housewife.
She had a driver, fancy clothes, holiday homes and a lifestyle few could dream of - but no man around to dote on her.
Instead she began taking holidays with Cowell, who was a friend of the couple’s and was more than happy to have her on his yacht.
Mr Eisenberg said that for the past six summers the Silvermans and Cowell have ‘all spent time together’ - illustrating the depth of what Andrew’s brother Alexander has called ‘an unbelievable story of betrayal’.
Mr Eisenberg said: ‘I think he is smitten and overwhelmed by Lauren as she is with him. She was not too happy in her marriage and got swept away. 
‘I mean she had the money but you can't cuddle up to five Gucci bags and a credit card or take them under your arm when you go out to dinner.
‘I don't think either one intended to plant the seed, but I think they will rise to the occasion and make everything all right.’

Mr Eisenberg was full of praise for Andrew and called him a ‘bright, very intelligent man but he doesn't make random choices’.
He said: ‘Things have not been great between he and Lauren for a while.
‘She is certainly not a gold digger. That's ridiculous. She is very talented and had her own career in fashion and Andrew was very successful in real estate. She doesn't need Simon's money.’
Carole married Mr Eisenberg in 1989 having met him at the Cricket Club, a country club in Miami.
He was working out a lot and Carole ‘spotted’ him and, though he was with someone at the time, they got together because the ‘timing’ felt right.
