Is 'Alpha Male' Simon Cowell Ignoring Girlfriend Lauren Silverman?

Body language expert Judi James gives her take on The X Factor judge's recent appearance with his baby mama

When we spotted music mogul Simon Coweel out on the town with girlfriend Lauren Silverman, we couldn't help notice their awkward poses.

The parents attended the Katy Piper Foundation charity ball in London last night and were papped on their way home looking less like a happy couple a more like random acquantiances.

Lauren, 37, was only to happy to pose for pictures while The X Factor judge kinda looked like he needed the loo.

We asked our body language expert Judi James to give us her thoughts on what these odd poses could possibly mean for the couple...

"Since becoming a father Simon has adopted a brand new signature body pose that reflects a very macho, alpha sense of pride and achievement. He’s never been knowingly undersold in the chest display department, but now the bear-hair and open-neck shirt look has the addition of an exaggerated splaying of the chest and shoulder area, which is an animal signal of strength and courage.

"This new ritual is likely to reflect his new life role and protective thoughts on baby Eric, but in terms of pose-signals with girlfriend Lauren the messages are a lot more ambiguous.

"Never a guy to embrace the PDA, Simon’s pose here is very self-contained and his enigmatic facial expression suggests a sense of detachment, as though he’s thinking of things other than the shots. Rather than sporting a smile, his mouth appears sucked-in and his eye-gaze is reflective and distant-looking. He holds his arm between them as a body-barrier (Checking his belt or what?) and overall looks deadpan rather than taking steps to perform an active display of mirrored togetherness.

"In contrast Lauren is really working her pose like a proper celeb, taking to the camera attention like a duck to water. Her eyes are engaged and sparkling and her head is tilted back slightly from Simon as though happy to take that attention in her own right. Her torso faces his and the closeness turns this into a ‘couples’ pose, but that is more her activity than his."
