Simon Cowell tweets son’s birth announcement
I never knew how much love and pride I would feel.
~ X Factor creator Simon Cowell, taking to Twitter to announce the birth of son Eric with girlfriend Lauren Silverman, as quoted by People.com, February 16
Also, according to the People article:
The realization that he was going to be a father came when Cowell first saw a scan of his baby on the way….
“You literally see this thing which is now alive moving around. I feel very paternal right now,” he said following the ultrasound.
Cowell and Silverman previously made headlines when Silverman became pregnant by Cowell while still married to Cowell’s friend, real estate mogul Andrew Silverman.

This “thing” which is now alive ??? EESH !
Though I don’t approve of the circumstances behind the conception of this child, I hope the couple will marry and have a sibling for this cutie.

Cute kid, but I still think he and his baby momma are lowlifes, despite all their cash.
Congratulations to Simon and Lauren!
I don’t think Simon was using the word, “thing” to be disparaging. I’m happy for them, despite the circumstances.
Though I don’t approve of the circumstances behind the conception of this child, I hope the couple will marry and have a sibling for this cutie.

He already has an eight year old half-brother. I feel sorry for that kid, he’s going to have some issues. I also feel bad for her ex-husband.
Welcome to the great big complicated world, Eric!
A woman who opts to give birth at the expense of her adultery being set center-stage… sounds like just the sort of situation that underlies the argument that abortion is a ”hard choice that needs to be protected” (Eric might not be here if she had opted to be more “discrete”). This forum shouldn’t be a place where we have fingers and tongues wagging. Sorry folks, but it just felt like it needed to be said…
