Since the time he welcomed his first baby into the world, Simon is very happy for being a father on Valentine’s Day. But, luck wasn’t on Simon’s luck last Tuesday night as his car got hit by a large block of ice. Fortunately, Simon, 54, his girlfriend Lauren Silverman, 36, and their five-day-old baby son were nowhere near the car when it happened. The Range Rover has played its part baby Eric's short life. Simon used the car to drive his family home Lenox Hill Hospital on Sunday. Though new for being a father, Simon had turned from the formerly acid-tongued reality show TV mogul into a happy and contented man. He even posts some pictures of his newborn on his twitter account every now and then. On one of the pictures, it was shown that he and his girlfriend, Lauren were stroking the head of their newborn. In another photo, the X Factor judge was patting his son's forehead as young Eric as firmly holding his thumb with the text: '…. now you can see how very handsome little Eric is.' In the last photo, Simon was looking at his child as he was holding it next to his chest with the little boy’s eyes closed. Lauren gave birth to the couple's healthy baby boy, that weighs 6lbs 7oz, on Friday evening – which make little Eric a Valentine's Day baby. According to MailOnline, Lauren’s mother and sister were waiting in the delivery room when she was giving birth. Simon’s mother wasn’t there, but looking forward to meet the boy back in the UK. Hours later, Simon tweeted: 'Very happy to say Eric was born at 17.45pm. Healthy and handsome.' Later on, he added that the name came from his late father. Shortly after that, he revealed that the middle name comes from his closest friend, Sir Philip Green. Eric Cowell, the father of Simon Cowell died aged 81 in 1999. That was the time when his group becomes number one. He said: ‘I phoned him to tell him about the Number One, because that’s what I did - when something good happened, I called my dad. His mother couldn’t tell him at first that his father was dead, but she later called back and finally told him that his father was dead. The best and the worst thing happened in just one day. Simon was shocked that time since he always shared everything with his dad. Unfortunately, he can’t share this one with his dad.
