Simon Cowell says that being a father has changed his life in ways beyond measure. In a profile written by Piers Morgan that appeared in the Daily Mail, the media mogul, who has a four-year-old son called Eric with his long-term partner Lauren Silverman, said his "happiness level has definitely gone up to a nine" because of his son.

"My life is very different since he came along. It was my 59th birthday last week and it started with me taking Eric out cycling, with him dressed as an alien. Then I bought him yogurt, watched him play in his hamster wheel on the grass, we had a swim and I taught him how to ride a quad bike," Cowell shared with Morgan.
