The X Factor boss explained: “Twenty years ago, I would have said I didn’t think I was going to have kids because I thought I was too old. So when I got the news I was going to be a dad – and the first time I saw his scan – I was literally obsessed. Something changed and I looked at life in a completely different way. Every decision I make now I am thinking about Eric. Is it the right decision for him?”
I think I was actually physically and mentally exhausted.
Lauren also agreed that she had seen a positive change in Simon due to this. She weighed in:”[Simon] would stay up until crazy hours and sometimes wake up to two o’clock in the afternoon. But obviously I’m a mom and life doesn’t work that way. I always try to help him to find that balance. Because he’s a workaholic. He loves his work, which is fantastic. But he sometimes needs me and Eric to push him to do more normal things and get up at a reasonable hour.”

He explained how meeting Lauren helped him through this heartbreaking time. Simon explained: “When it got quite dark, everything kind of opened up for me. I hoped something good would happen. Because, I remember when I was working flat out, even though everything was going fine, I was miserable because I think I was actually physically and mentally exhausted.”
Lauren agreed that before herself and Eric came along, she could see that Simon was left with a “void” to fill.
