Britain’s Got Talent boss Simon Cowell dropped a shock baby bombshell last year.

The 64-year-old reality show judge, who shares 10-year-old son Eric with fiancée Lauren Silverman, previously expressed hopes to have a second child.

Simon suggested he wanted to experience the toddlers years again, as well as providing Eric with a sibling.

“Just two days ago I was thinking, ‘It would be nice to have another,'” he said in 2023.

“Those years when they’re young…I had such an amazing experience, and I was thinking about it probably because of that.”

He continued to The Sun: “You never know with kids if they’re happy being on their own or how would [Eric] feel if there was another one?”

“So look, will it happen?” he added. “I don’t know. But I would love another kid. I really like being a dad.”

He continued that his horror accident in 2020 also helped him become healthier and stronger.

While at his Malibu home, he fell off an electric bike, which led to serious injuries. Simon had extensive surgery to recover, including having a rod put into his back.

However, the incident saw him prioritise his health. Simon lost three stone, as well as cut back on his 80 cigarettes a day smoking habit.
