It’s a boy! Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman welcomed a baby boy, Eric, at 5:45 p.m., sources said at Lenox Hill Hospital.
The bundle of joy weighed in at 6-pounds, 7-ounces, sources said.
Cowell was widely anticipated to call his son after himself, but instead decided on Eric after his father
Earlier on Valentine’s Day, Cowell had rushed to New York to be by the side of his pregnant girlfriend, Silverman, to the Upper East Side hospital after she’d gone into labor.
Cowell was reportedly meant to attend “Britain’s Got Talent” auditions in London today, but he instead jumped on a jet when Lauren, 37, went into labor two weeks earlier than her due date, which was Feb. 28.
