Simon Cowell is officially a father
On Friday, Feb. 14, Cowell’s rep confirmed that the “X Factor” judge, 54, and his girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, welcomed a bouncing baby boy in New York City.
Eric, who was named after Cowell’s father, arrived at 5:45 p.m. and weighed in at 6 lbs., 7 oz. What a Valentine’s Day gift! Immediately following the birth of his first born, Cowell tweeted the following announcement…
Very happy to say Eric was born at 17.45pm. Healthy and handsome.

Last July, Cowell shocked the world when he announced that he and Silverman were expecting a child. Lauren was still married to his close friend Andrew Silverman.
Congrats to the couple on the new edition to the family. – ruthie hawkins/@ruubabie
