Former American Idol judge Simon Cowell and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman are new parents!
Lauren gave birth to their baby boy on Valentine’s Day, February 14th at Lenox Hill Hospital. The couple took their newborn baby boy back to their hotel on Sunday and Simon, 54, was snapped carrying his little one in a stroller.
The proud papa hasn’t stopped gushing over his son, Eric since his arrival, and has been sharing photos of him on Twitter.

“Mum, Dad and Eric. Now two days old,” the X Factor judge captioned together with a black and white shot of himself, Lauren and Eric laying in bed at the New York City hospital. “Very happy to say Eric was born at 17.45pm. Healthy and handsome,” he tweeted, and added, “Lauren in great shape. Thanks for all of your kind messages.”
