BGT boss Simon Cowell has been the daddy of talent shows since the ITV series launch since 2007. But did you realise his actual son, Eric Cowell, is now 11 years old?
The proud father previously admitted when Eric was very young he was worried his son ‘didn’t like him’.
But Simon, now 65, explained at the time how he and Eric bonded one day when it “clicked” between them.
Since then, Eric – who Simon shares with partner Lauren Silverman – has popped up in the public eye occasionally, including an appearance on BGT last year when he smacked the Golden Buzzer to send Haribow through to the final.
Here’s a closer look at the relationship between Simon and Eric…

Simon Cowell’s son Eric has a half-brother
Eric may be Simon’s son and heir, but Lauren, 47, is also mum to teenage son Adam from her previous marriage.
The blended family have been snapped together on plenty of occasions, going back several years. One notable moment when they all got together came in 2018 when Simon was awarded a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
I would love another kid. I really like being a dad.
Adam and Eric were also pictured together in Easter 2023 when Simon and his family spent time with the showbiz mogul’s ex Terri Seymour and her loved ones.
Could another sibling for Eric and Adam ever make an appearance? A couple of years ago Simon indicated he may be broody, so watch this space!
“I would love another kid. I really like being a dad,” Simon told The Sun in April 2023.
