Simon Cowell says he felt 'kind of lost' following death of parents, Entertainment News
Simon Cowell felt "kind of lost" following the death of his parents. The 65-year-old music mogul — who has 11-year-old son Eric with his fiancee Lauren Silverman — lost his dad in 1999 and then his mother in 2015, and admitted that becoming a father himself has "had a huge impact" because he was able to have that sort of love again. He told People: "[Fatherhood has] had a huge impact on me because I loved my parents so much, and once they left, I was kind of lost for a while, and then Eric kind of saved me. "Because that love comes back a hundred times more powerful. "I mean, it's extraordinary and it never goes. "So I didn't expect that, and when it happened, it was like, 'Wow.' I mean, it's incredible." The Syco founder has helmed the Got Talent franchise since its inception almost 20 years ago, and has even found that his role as a judge on the American iteration of the competition series has "got easier" over time because he is able to incorporate things that his son might like into the show. He said: "[Being a judge on AGT] got easier since I became a dad, because as Eric got a little bit older... I suddenly started to watch acts through his eyes thinking, 'Would he like that?' "Because you want your kids and their friends to love the show. So when he comes down with his friends, they're having the best time. "And that's a great feeling." What's more, the former X Factor judge — who has been responsible for introducing acts such as One Direction, Little Mix and Fifth Harmony to the world — has realised since starting a family that some things in life are "more important" than work. He said: "You realise that there are other things more important actually than your career. "I know it sounds corny, but I mean, it is the truth. If I wasn't where I am in my life today, I think it would feel quite empty."

Sofia Vergara Promotes Her Skincare Brand as She Heads in a Daring One-Piece: ‘Summer Is Almost Here'
Sofia Vergara is ready to embrace the summer sunshine as much as we are, and she's doing it in style! On May 27, the Modern Family alum shared a series of photos of herself looking as radiant as can be. She shared the photos on her Instagram with the caption reading, 'Summer is almost here!!🌞🌞🌞 @totyeurope @toty.' More from SheKnows Patrick Dempsey Shares Photo of His Rarely-Seen Twin Sons' HS Graduation - & One of Them Is His Lookalike Along with tagging her popular skincare brand, Toty, we see Vergara looking so gorgeous in a purple, tied-up one-piece that shows off her glowing skin and stunning curves. We see her pose in the new look around a rather picturesque lounging area, and sending fans into a frenzy. And we couldn't be more excited for summer time as well! Vergara is one of the highest-paid actresses, working on America's Got Talent, sitcoms, and a bunch of advertisements, along with being a modern-day beauty icon. In a previous, rare interview, Vergara talked to Home Business Magazine about her beauty icon status. 'Well, it's great that at this age I'm still considered a beauty icon because you know after you start feeling time goes by, things change,' she said. So of course, I love it, I think it's great that I'm showing a little bit more of the Latin looks all over the world, I'm showing a little bit of my ethnicity off.' And in a more recent interview with E! Online in 2024, she talked about wearing bikinis throughout her life. 'Swimsuits are always difficult for women, no matter what age, what size, what race. We all have our insecurities. But once you get older, it's even more because we don't look the same,' she said. 'When you reach a certain age, you know life more. That's one of the fun things about getting older: You realize what's important in life and what is not.'Best of SheKnows Elizabeth Hurley & Billy Ray Cyrus, & More of the Best Red Carpet Debuts From Celebrity Couples Over the Years Yoko Ono's Daughter Kyoko, & 22 Surprising Celebrities That Were In or Linked to a Cult 7 Ways Chrissy Teigen Has Altered Her Appearance Over the Years: Plastic Surgery & More
