“Mum, Dad, and Eric. Now two days old” captioned Cowell in this intimate tweet.

Cowell has certainly changed his tune with regard to having children. In the past, the British bachelor had admitted that becoming a father wasn’t his first priority.

“I do really, really like kids, because I can talk to them and listen to them. The problem has always been how much time you need to devote to bringing up kids and I’ve always dedicated all my life to work” Cowell said.

However, the arrival of Eric has seen a huge change of heart. “He’s incredible!” the new dad gushed to reporters waiting outside the hospital.

Rumours predict that the lothario bachelor is set to propose to Silverman once she recovers from the birth.

The baby is a happy ending to what has been a rather scandalous relationship ride for the couple. New York socialite Silverman, 36, left her real estate mogul husband Andrew Silverman to be with his best friend Cowell last year and the pair announced their pregnancy not long after their relationship went public.
