Music mogul Simon Cowell has taken off to St. Tropez on a month-long break leaving all the furore over his pregnant companion behind.
The 53-year-old left California from a private airport and he will join friends on board the Slipstream yacht in St Tropez, in the South of France, reports dailymail.co.uk.
He will tour Europe and take time to evaluate on how exactly to proceed further after it was revealed that the New York socialite Lauren Silverman, who is married to his friend Andrew Silverman, is expecting his baby.
Cowell is expected to be joined by ex-girlfriend, singer Sinitta, and ex-fiance Mezghan Hussainy.
