Does Simon Cowell Have Kids? Meet the ‘America’s Got Talent’ Judge’s Son Eric Cowell

Simon Cowell is known for his blunt personality on TV, but at home he’s just 'dad' to his son, Eric Cowell. Fans are often curious about his only child.

Shortly after his firstborn’s arrival, the American Idol alum revealed that his son was named after his late father, Eric, whom he was very close with. Prior to Eric’s birth in 2014, the well-known critic said he was consumed with work, but confessed having a child drastically changed things in his life. It seems like Eric wants to follow his father into the entertainment world as Simon revealed that his son has aspirations of performing the drums in a rock band and auditioning for Britain’s Got Talent.
