Simon Cowell Reveals He's 'Petrified' of His Son Eric, 11, Having This One Item: 'I’m Very Worried'

While making an appearance on ITV's 'This Morning,' Simon Cowell opened up to Jeff Brazier about one of his biggest parenting fears. Cowell, who welcomed his son Eric, 11, in February 2014, revealed that he's worried about his son getting a cell phone and "having access to anything."

While making an appearance on ITV's This Morning, the former American Idol judge, 65, opened up to Jeff Brazier about one of his biggest parenting fears. "My mom used to say, manners make the man, and my dad was very good about respecting other people, and I’m trying to do the same thing with him," he shared. While Cowell may have gained a reputation as a harsh critic during his tenure on American Idol, the birth of his son has definitely softened him — and he’s the first one to admit it.
