Back in June, Cowell opened up about how his son Eric saved him after both of his parents died.
Speaking on an episode of The Diary Of A CEO podcast released on June 10, Cowell shared how his son saved him during a dark period amid the loss of his parents, Julie and Eric, and his life being consumed by work. Cowell’s father Eric, whom his son was named after, died in 1999, while his mother Julie died 16 years later.
“I think particularly when I lost my mum, I was on a downward spiral at that point,” said the music industry executive. “I lost everyone, you know, I’ve lost my parents. It’s finality now. What I said about the material things I’ve got, everything just meant nothing at that point.”
But the TV personality said when he heard that his fiancé, whom he has been dating since 2004, was pregnant with their first child, it turned everything around.
A Woman Gives Birth To Her Son at the Age of 62, But Wait Till You See Her Boy At 17
Wrapped snugly against the winter chill, Patricia Rashbrook, Britain’s eldest mother, cradles her infant son close, radiating the joy of newfound parenthood after years of anticipation.
The revelation of JJ Farrant’s birth stirred a national dialogue, shining a spotlight on Rashbrook’s remarkable journey to motherhood at the age of 62. Born through elective cesarean in July, JJ’s arrival marked the culmination of Rashbrook’s fervent desire for motherhood.
A child therapist by profession, Rashbrook embarked on her unconventional path to parenthood through assisted means, seeking aid from donor eggs in Russia, a country known for its leniency toward older mothers.
Despite Rashbrook’s three grown children from a previous marriage, the prospect of fatherhood was uncharted territory for her second husband, 60-year-old John Farrant. Yet, their decision to welcome JJ into their lives wasn’t impulsive; rather, it was a meticulously considered choice born out of a deep longing to expand their family.
Months of contemplation preceded their decision, eventually leading them to seek the expertise of controversial fertility specialist Professor Severino Antinori. Though their initial attempts at IVF proved fruitless, the eventual success of Rashbrook’s pregnancy with JJ was met with overwhelming joy, even amidst public scrutiny.
Critics decried their actions as selfish, yet Rashbrook remains resolute in her conviction that age alone does not dictate parental capability. Emphasizing their robust health and preparedness for parenthood, Rashbrook dismisses naysayers as uninformed, asserting their commitment to meeting JJ’s every need.
As they venture forth into parenthood, Rashbrook and Farrant cherish each moment with JJ, cherishing their first Christmas as a family with palpable delight. With JJ nestled safely in his car seat, they embark on a day trip from their home in Lewes, East Sussex, epitomizing the pure happiness of newfound parenthood.
