Simon Cowell has revealed how becoming a father was life-changing for him after he fell into depression over his intense work rate.
The former X Factor boss welcomed his first child, son Eric, now eight, with longtime partner Lauren Silverman on Valentine’s Day in 2014.
In January 2022, the couple confirmed they were engaged and are currently preparing to tie the knot.
However, before he became a family man, Cowell, 63, was best known as TV’s so-called Mr Mean as a judge on popular reality shows such as The X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and even America’s Got Talent overseas.
Now looking back at his fast-paced lifestyle, which included staying up through the night brainstorming new ideas to take his shows to the next level, Cowell admits he was on a dark path.
