X Factor Judge, Simon Cowell, has welcomed the birth of his first child.
Simon flew from London to New York by private jet to be with his partner, Lauren Silverman, at the birth of his son.
Baby Eric arrived two weeks early, but both he and his mother are in good health.
Eric was named after Simon’s father and is already a much loved addition to the Cowell family.
