Congratulations go out to Simon Cowell!

The "X Factor" mentor welcomed son Eric, with girlfriend Lauren Silverman on Friday (Feb. 14), People confirms. Baby Eric arrived at 5:45 p.m. in New York City and weighed in at six pounds, seven ounces.

Cowell took to Twitter shortly after the birth to announce his happy news:

Cowell, 54, and Silverman, announced their relationship after her husband Andrew Silverman filed for divorce in July 2013. They confirmed reports that Lauren was expecting a baby shortly after.

This is the first child for Cowell and the second for Lauren, who has an 8-year-old son Adam with Andrew.

Congrats again to the happy family!
