Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman were spotted having a heated argument on Thursday in New York.

The couple, who are expecting their first child together, were photographed in the backseat of an SUV raising their voices at one another.

This is the first time the pair have been seen unhappy together, since the scandal broke that Silverman was pregnant while still married to Cowell's pal Andrew Silverman. (See the photos.)

The pair apparently got over the lovers spat and were later spotted holding hands and smiling in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood.

Silverman, who has divorced from her husband, has been seen enjoying PDA-filled days with Cowell.

Cowell recently gushed that he is the happiest he has ever been with his new girlfriend.

"I'm the happiest I've ever been," the X Factor judge told In Touch. "I'm really looking forward to [fatherhood]. My dad was a great influence on me, and I hope I can teach my child some of what he taught me."

“I’m not sure I’m that great with babies, so I’m going to need to get a lot of help with that part. There are all those things to think about, like how you hold them and stuff like that," Simon tells In Touch. ”But I’m pretty good with kids, especially when they’re at an age where they can talk. I like the idea of having a pal!" he added.
