It’s been a little over two years since Simon Cowell last gave us a peek into his personal life through Instagram. So, when the beloved America’s Got Talent judge decided to surprise his 1.3 million followers with a heartwarming post this past weekend, fans couldn’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia. Simon shared a delightful photo of his 5-year-old son, Eric Cowell, snuggled up in his racecar pajamas while reading his new favorite book, Come Find Me, which happens to be illustrated by none other than his friend Terry Crews. This rare glimpse into Eric's life has fans melting over the adorable mini-me moment.
For those who don’t know, Simon and his girlfriend, Laura Silverman, have always been very protective of their children’s privacy. Laura, a socialite, is also a mother to her son Adam Silverman, 13, from her previous marriage to businessman Andrew Silverman. This means we don’t often get to see much of Eric on social media. But this time, Simon decided to share a sweet slice of his family life, and we’re all here for it. Scroll down to take a look at the adorable picture Simon shared!

Simon’s fans were quick to notice just how much Eric resembles his dad. When Simon posted the photo, it marked his first Instagram update since June 2017, and the comments section lit up with admiration. One user wrote, “Wow, Simon, Eric is so big. Looks just like you. You are an amazing Dad.” Another commenter gushed, “God, he’s the image of you!” It’s clear that Simon has done an incredible job raising his son to be a little version of himself—only cuter.
Simon Cowell: A Softer Side
Over the years, Simon Cowell has built a reputation as a sharp, no-nonsense music mogul with a penchant for brutal honesty. But since the birth of Eric in 2014, fatherhood has softened his edges and revealed a tender side we hadn’t seen before. “He’s madly in love with his son,” a close source once told Closer Weekly. “Simon openly shares his deep feelings for Eric with friends. He’s become this big softie around him.”
Life as a Dad: Simon’s Perspective
Simon has worn many hats in his life—music producer, TV judge, and business mogul—but being a dad has become one of his most cherished roles. Speaking to Us Weekly at the America’s Got Talent season 14 red carpet kickoff on March 11, Simon opened up about his journey as a father. “Time flies like you wouldn’t believe,” he admitted. “I said to someone the other day, ‘It’s much easier than I thought.’ And then you can’t imagine ever not having him… It’s the most amazing feeling.” Clearly, Simon and Eric have formed a bond that’s nothing short of magical.
