According to OK!, Simon Cowell has banned baby mama Lauren Silverman from “The X Factor” set.

“He needs ‘me time’ when he gets to work,” a so-called “source” tells the outlet.

The OK! insider says, “Meanwhile, she really wants to be a bigger part of his work life, and has surprised him several times. She was crushed and embarrassed when Simon told her he wasn’t happy, and asked her to never do it again. He called his driver to take her home.”

Silverman is also allegedly upset that Cowell “still speaks to many of his exes — some of whom are regulars at his offices,” explains the magazine.

“But they are from that world and she isn’t,” says the OK! source. “She doesn’t understand that Simon can’t concentrate with her around, asking questions.”

Maybe the magazine should start asking better questions itself.

OK! has written sensationalized stories about Cowell’s professional life before, and this report is just another example.

Cowell’s spokesperson tells Gossip Cop the Silverman story is “completely made up.”

The music producer told his former “American Idol” colleague that finding out he’s having a baby with Lauren Silverman, who was still married to Cowell’s friend at the time, wasn’t the easiest news to process.

“[But] Lauren and I get along really well and once I got used to the idea I thought, ‘I think this is going to be very good,” explained Cowell.

So, does he plan to put a ring on it?

Cowell coyly replied, “Let’s put it this way, I wouldn’t expect her to be a single mother.”

There is one rite of passage, however, that’s definitely out for Cowell — watching Silverman give birth.

“I know this sounds awful, but it’s like you don’t want to go in to the restaurant while they’re making your dinner,” said the “X Factor” judge. “I think there are certain things you shouldn’t see and that is one of them. I’ll be very close by, but no.”

Simon Cowell is still wrapping his mind around the idea that he’s going to be a father.

“I went to see a scan today and it is just surreal,” he tells The Times of London. “You literally see this thing which is now alive moving around. I feel very paternal right now. So, I am very happy.”

News that Lauren Silverman is expecting Cowell’s baby broke in July; she and her estranged husband Andrew subsequently reached a divorce settlement.

Cowell publicly confirmed the pregnancy for the first time at August’s One Direction: This Is Us premiere.

“Things are changing in my life right now, for the better,” he said. “I’m proud to be a dad.
