Eric is also not shy of facing the camera and enjoys tagging along with his father in various media events. While he is a much-loved young celebrity, Eric’s birth was surrounded by various rumors and controversies. Lauren Silverman was married to her then-husband Andrew Silverman when she became pregnant with Eric. In July 2013, Andrew filed for divorce from Lauren on grounds of adultery and named Simon Cowell as a co-respondent. Soon after, the reports of Lauren’s pregnancy started to come out and it became a subject of larger debates amongst various news and media houses.

In August 2013, Lauren and Andrew Silverman decided to settle their divorce out of court. Not long after, Simon Cowell came out and confirmed that Lauren was indeed pregnant with his child.

In an interview with The Sun, Simon shared how his life was “99 percent work” before Eric came into the picture. He talked about his obsession with work and mentioned how he used to work till the wee hours. In the same interview, he also credited his son for helping him tone down his smoking habit. According to Simon, his son schools him, in a strict demeanor, if he ever catches him smoking. Humorously, he has to sneak around his house to get a “few puffs.”
