Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Simon Cowell celebrated Easter in the U.S. surrounded by loved ones, including his fiancée Lauren Silverman and their 10-year-old son Eric, who is quickly growing up and looking just like his dad.

Cowell, 62, and his little family were joined by Silverman's son, Adam Silverman, 18 as well as appearances from his former partner Terri Seymour, 51, her current partner Clark Mallon, 33, their daughter Coco, 9, Terri's mother, Margaret Seymour, and Simon's Britain's Got Talent colleague, Bruno Tonioli.

The photo, shared by Seymour, showed the group posing in a picturesque garden, with the TV host standing close to his fiancée and son. Silverman, 46, wore a white floral dress, while both her sons and the AGT judge kept it casual in dark t-shirts and jeans. Adding a playful note to the photo, Tonioli wore bunny ears and blue joggers, standing out in the portrait.

Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Cowell and Seymour have kept a friendly and warm connection. Seymour, a renowned entertainment reporter, took the opportunity to share moments from the day on Instagram, captioning the post, "Easter with my favorite bunnies."

The Easter celebration photo really highlighted the notable growth of young Eric. Cowell has openly discussed the huge impact fatherhood has had on his life, especially after the loss of his parents.

"After I lost my parents, I genuinely felt ... I would never feel that kind of love for anyone ever again. I thought that was it ... until I saw the scan of him for the first time," he shared on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2022. "From that moment I saw the scan, I was like 'That is it, I'm besotted.' Now I just cannot imagine my life without him. He's the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. I adore him."

Eric was born on Valentine's Day in 2014, and played a significant role in preparing his proposal to Silverman. In a 2022 interview with ET, Cowell admitted, "One hundred percent he had to coach me. And we planned it. He was a big part of it."
