Cowell recently opened up about the importance ofgetting his son’s feedbackwhen it comes to his decisions about talent.

“When I watch the shows before they go out, and I’m kind of looking at Eric out of the corner of my eye, going ‘Does he like something? Does he not like something?’ and annoyingly he’s normally right,” said theAmerica’s Got Talent: All-Starsjudge during an appearance on the UK talk showLoose Women.

“I’ve got a good idea of what he’s going to be when he’s older, I think, which is a really cool thing,” Cowell added, without naming the profession. “He’s got his own opinion. He’s his own man, which is really, really important. Yeah, he’s a sweetheart.”

Cowell was then asked if he has finally achieved balance now that he has settled into family life with Eric and Silverman.

“I’m certainly getting there,” he shared. “Yes, for sure, where I currently am in my life, my career, being a dad – I mean, I was late to the party. It was the best thing that ever happened to me.”
