Simon Cowell's family

Simon Cowell is a proud family man. The creator of the show, 64, is engaged to his long-term partner Lauren Silverman with whom he shares son Eric, 10. 

Simon is often sharing sweet snippets of family life, including photos on his social media and even bringing his son along to work.

Eric has made the odd appearance on the shows, including the UK version, alongside his famous dad.

Simon is also a stepfather to Lauren's older son, Adam, 18, who she shares with her ex-husband, Andrew Silverman.

In a recent podcast interview with Steven Barlett on his show, Diary of a CEO, Simon explained how losing both of his parents left him wracked with grief, before finding light when he met and fell in love with Lauren.

Upon finding out his partner was pregnant, Simon recalled: "And it changed everything. It made me happy again, it was perfect."

Simon's bond with son Eric

In a recent interview with HELLO! to celebrate and raise funds and awareness for the London Music Fund, Simon explained how parenthood with his fiancée has changed him for good.

"Twenty years ago, I would have said I didn't think I was going to have kids because I thought I was too old. 

"So when I got the news I was going to be a dad - and the first time I saw his scan - I was literally obsessed. Something changed and I looked at life in a completely different way.

"Every decision I make now I am thinking about Eric. Is it the right decision for him?"

The couple, who wed in 2005 on a beach in Mexico, announced their divorce in 2012. At the time, they said: "We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. 

"This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition."

Two days later, on July 19, 2023, Joe filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences".
