Here’s a side of Simon Cowell you might not expect. Sure, we all know him for his sharp critiques and no-nonsense attitude on America’s Got Talent. But behind that stern exterior lies a soft spot for his four-year-old son, Eric. Simon recently revealed that he hopes Eric will one day join the family business. However, don’t think for a second that Eric will just waltz into a cushy job. No way, Jose. If Eric wants to follow in his dad's footsteps, he’s going to have to earn it. And trust me, that’s classic Simon.
“I’d do with Eric exactly what my dad did with me. I’d start him off as an intern and make sure he learns the ropes,” Simon, who serves as both executive producer and judge on AGT, told Extra. “The idea that one day he might be doing this or something similar? That would be a dream come true for me.”

Simon’s vision for Eric’s future is more than just a passing thought. It’s a driving force that keeps him motivated. “Honestly, the thought of Eric taking over one day is the best incentive I’ve ever had. It pushes me to keep everything running smoothly for the next few years,” Simon admitted. This isn’t just about work for Simon. It’s about leaving a legacy that his son can be proud of.
Eric, born in February 2014 to Simon and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman, has quickly become Simon’s right-hand man. “Eric’s old enough now to be my buddy. We’re constantly in touch, and I’d say we’re more than just father and son—we’re friends,” Simon shared. “He’s got this incredible sense of humor that cracks me up. Honestly, he’s a riot to be around!” It’s clear that Eric isn’t just a source of pride for Simon; he’s also a source of joy and laughter in his life.
Even Simon, the perfectionist extraordinaire, finds amusement in Eric’s quirks. “You know what cracks me up? He eats with his mouth open. It’s so random, but it makes me laugh every time,” Simon revealed. It’s moments like these that remind us that even the toughest critics have a soft side. And honestly, isn’t that what makes life beautiful?
