Simon Cowell reveals son Eric’s adorable role in proposal to Lauren Silverman

thesun.co.uk:

SIMON Cowell has revealed his eight-year-old son played a part in his proposal to Lauren Silverman. The music mogul, 62, proposed to his partner of nine years in January while on holiday in Barbados and has now explained their son Eric helped him pop the question.

Appearing on Entertainment Tonight, Simon said: “One hundred percent he had to coach me.  “And we planned it. He was a big part of it." The TV star went on to explain the pandemic had made him reconsider his stance on marriage - having previously branded it “boring”.

He continued: "I think after everything all of us had gone through over the past two years, it has changed our lives in so many ways. “Family is everything and that is what I kind of took away from it." Lauren's 16-year-old son, Adam, was also there for the proposal.

Lauren, 44, was said to have "burst into tears" when he got down on one knee on Christmas Eve and presented her with a £250,000 diamond ring. @font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:500;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-HeavyNarrow.woff2').
