Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman welcome their baby son on Valentine's Day.

The 54-year-old music mogul's girlfriend gave birth to the couple's first son in New York City at 17.45 EST, weighing 6lbs 7oz.
Simon revealed on Twitter hours after the birth that he had named the child after his own deceased father Eric Cowell.

Cowell tweeted just hours later, giving away the infant's name: 'Very happy to say Eric was born at 17.45pm. Healthy and handsome.'
Adding an explanatory note: 'Named after my dad'.

Simon was spotted just hours after Lauren gave birth catching some fresh air outside of the hospital.
The television personality looked in high spirits as he wore a trench coat, blue jeans, and leather boots.
The X Factor judge previously said of his father Eric, who passed away in 1999 of a heart attack at the age of 81, 'My dad was a brilliant mentor.’

Eric Selig Phillip Cowell worked in the music industry as an executive, paving the way for Simon's own illustrious career.
