Simon Cowell looked every inch the family man when he was pictured out and about in Malibu with his partner Lauren Silverman and their son Eric, six. And a source has told new that his outlook on life has changed massively since his life-threatening accident in August.

The 61-year-old X Factor judge broke his back in three places after falling off his electric bike and hadn’t been seen in public since. And now a pal close to the star has told us that since the terrifying incident Simon has realised the only thing that matters is his family.
