Simon Cowell’s son Eric is his famous dad’s double in unearthed throwback photos
t may have taken Simon Cowell a while to come around the idea of becoming a parent, but now he couldn’t be more of a doting father to his son Eric, named after his grandfather who passed away in 1999.
Eric is the America’s Got Talent judge’s eight-year-old son with his fiancée Lauren Silverman, who he has been with since 2013. He is also a stepfather to Lauren’s son Adam, 17, who she shares with ex-husband Andrew Silverman.
Though throughout his career, the star, 63, has always been known for his icy and stern demeanor, he has previously admitted that having a son has totally softened him, and what’s more, it has brought him a total twin! Eric is Simon’s true mini-me, as you can see in all of the throwback photos below.
Simon previously gushed about what a wonderful change Eric’s arrival in 2014 brought to his life, during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2021.
“He’s the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. I adore him,” he endearingly declared to the daytime show host and first-ever American Idol winner.
