Simon Cowell and his fiancee Lauren Silverman sat down for an exclusive interview. at the London Music Fund event.
Simon and Lauren were incredibly proud and honoured to have helped organise a lunch to raise funds and awareness for the London Music Fund, a trust which helps young musicians from low-income families access their talent.
Lauren delivered a passionate speech about the fund, which offers scholarships including an instrument, tuition, a mentor and concert visits to talented youngsters.
"I really wanted to get involved - not just because it's something I am passionate about, but it fits in with what Simon does with giving young people opportunities to explore their talents I feel any creative outlet is such an important thing we can give to our children."
In a joint interview with Hello magazine, Simon spoke about how much his family means to him "Twenty years ago, I would have said I didn't think I was going to have kids because I thought I was too old.
"So when I got the news I was going to be a dad - and the first time I saw his scan - I was literally obsessed. Something changed and I looked at life in a completely different way.
"Every decision I make now I am thinking about Eric. Is it the right decision for him?"
"Every decision I make now I am thinking about Eric. Is it the right decision for him?"
Lauren agreed, saying: "Becoming a dad filled a void in his life. He has changed considerably from the days when he first found worldwide fame on his shows."
"He would stay up until crazy hours and sometimes wake up to two o'clock in the afternoon. But obviously I'm a mom and life doesn't work that way.
"I always try to help him to find that balance, because he's a workaholic. He loves his work, which is fantastic.
"But he sometimes needs me and Eric to push him to do more normal things and get up at a reasonable hour. And I guess in that sense, we've helped him - and he's definitely got a lot better since we first met, that's for sure."
