Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell, who is currently a father to his son, Eric, whom he shares with his partner, Lauren Silverman, recently expressed his desire to have another child during an interview with The Sun.
โJust two days ago, I was thinking, โIt would be nice to have anotherโ,โ Cowell, who is also one of the hosts of America’s Got Talent, told the news outlet. โBeing a dad is the best thing thatโs ever happened to me. I love every second I spend with [Eric]. So then Iโm thinking the next step is heโs going to be a teenager.โ

The TV personality discussed the strong bond between him and his son and how he enjoyed Eric’s childhood. “I had such an amazing experience all through those years,” the 63-year-old said, “and I was thinking about it probably because of that.”

However, Cowell expressed uncertainty about whether Eric is open to the idea of having a sibling. โBut you never know with kids if theyโre happy being on their own or how would he feel if there was another one?โ he told The Sun. โSo look, will it happen? I donโt know. But I would love another kid. I really like being a dad.”
The 63-year-old explained that keeping up with a young child could be very challenging. โI am 64 this year, and Ericโs nineโโฆ and when Iโm playing football with him, my God,” Cowell added. “I have to get fit just to play with him. His energy is off the chart, it really, really is.โ

He also addressed recent rumors and jokes about his apparent weight loss and facial changes, stating that he has not had any plastic surgery. โI mean it just makes me laugh,” Cowell said. “I havenโt had a facelift or anything. So when I hear about this stuff, honestly, it does make me laugh.โ
He concluded that he has not given much consideration to the speculations made by some critics about the possible procedures he may have undergone. โI donโt google myself,” Cowell added, “so I genuinely donโt have a clue what everyone is saying about me until we do things like BGT.โ
