Over the years, the media mogul has undergone multiple facial injections and botox. He was among the first male TV personalities to admit taking Botox, according to Hello Magazine.
In 2018, Cowell informed the Sun he underwent a non-surgical “sewing bioplastic-infused thread” facelift.
“You can accomplish lots now. “You don’t have to load your face with filler and Botox,” Cowell told Hello.
“It hurts like hell but removes sun damage and unplugs all the crap.” Clean skin is now my priority. Clean skin looks better. Yet some of this stuff requires extreme caution.”
Simon is now a family guy while still running multiple businesses.
He and Lauren Silverman announced their first pregnancy in 2013. Eric was born on February 14, 2014.

Simon fell off his electric bike in his Malibu, California, courtyard last year, causing another devastating accident. He was hospitalized for back surgery.
Post-surgery, Cowell was “doing fine.” That could have been worse.
Advice… “Read the manual before riding an electric trail bike for the first time,” Cowell tweeted, thanking fans and friends for their “kind messages.”
His fans found his message relaxing, but it wasn’t.
Cowell told ExtraTV that the X-ray stunned him.
I knew I shattered my back as I fell. “That hurt,” he remarked. “It could have been worse. After seeing the X-ray, I nearly smashed my spine and couldn’t walk.”
He walked two days after surgery, according to People.
“I was thinking, ‘I’ve got to get back into the house because I can’t lie there’, and made myself kind of get dragged into my bedroom, which is right there at the beginning of the house, and I’m lying there and I’m kind of passing out… “Surreal,” he said.
Eric and Simon Cowell tested a new electric bike. He hated healing at home in front of his son.
“I was really humiliated about coming home looking like 100 because I couldn’t walk, and I have these metal rods in my back and these screws,” Cowell said. “
Lauren, I don’t know how to explain it to Eric. He came in and said, ‘Daddy, you’re like Ironman,’ and I thought that was the loveliest thing and meant a lot.”
Accident recovery took time. It also showed us that Cowell is determined to return to normal.
Simon walks around 40 miles a week to heal from his injury, according to Daily Mail. He walks for hours and has morning business meetings. Others admire the music mogul’s efforts to return to normal.
“He feels fitter than ever and is keeping to a normal routine rather than staying on the phone until the early hours of the morning,” the insider claimed.
Simon made millions by establishing his empire. The music refuses to share the money with his child.
Money is important, and having wealthy parents should make things simpler, right?
Celebrities have stated that their children will not inherit any of their wealth. Simon Cowell is one because he believes his children should make their own money.
Someone will inherit my money. Kids and dogs—probably a charity. Simon told The Mirror:
“Your legacy needs to be that hopefully you provided enough people an opportunity to perform well, and you gave them your time, taught them what you know.”
Simon Cowell has one child, 8-year-old Eric.
Lauren Silverman, Eric’s mother, was married to Cowell’s friend Andrew Silverman when they met.
They announced their first kid in 2013. After a year, Lauren and Andrew split.
Eric was born on Valentine’s Day 2014, and Cowell struggled at first. Simon was ashamed of his affair.
I didn’t want to injure anyone. “That happened.”
He’s thrilled today. The father-son combo has numerous similarities. Simon says they like Scooby Doo, Disney movies, and dog jokes.
He’s fantastic. “I love him,” America’s Got Talent judge stated.
Eric is named after his father, Eric Selig Philip Cowell, who died in 1999. Simon recently complimented his son for forcing him quit receiving facial fillers and injections. Eric’s father’s face scared him.
“I may have overdone it. Simon told The Sun, “I saw a picture of me from ‘before’ the other day, and didn’t recognize me at first.”
Eric went crazy. Enough. My face has no filler. X Factor judge stated zero.
