Simon Cowell has enjoyed an Easter day out in Los Angeles with girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their baby, Eric.

The music mogul and his family spent Easter Sunday eating lunch in West Hollywood where Simon, 54, played the doting dad, according to the Daily Mirror.

X Factor boss Simon swapped his usual unimpressed expression and critical eye for smiles and coos as he cradled his son, born on Valentine's Day this year.

Simon also kissed and cuddled Lauren, 36, during lunch at The Ivy in Beverly Hills.

His right-hand woman Sinitta recently told Hello!: "He seems so much more calmer and more grounded. It's stressful being an international star, but Eric has given him something bigger.

"It has altered his perspective on life, give him a new identity. But no, I don't think he's changed any nappies yet."
