Simon Cowell, 61, has enjoyed some quality family time over dinner in Malibu with his long-term girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their son Eric, seven.

The group seemed in good spirits as they exchanged conversation at the beach steakhouse restaurant.

Simon cut a casual figure in his trademark black jumper and mid wash denim jeans combo, while he shielded his eyes from the Californian sun with dark sunglasses.

Simon’s partner, 44, looked stunning as she modelled a cream and red printed strapless dress, which boasted a plunging sweetheart neckline.

The raven beauty tied her tresses into a low bun and sported a subtle yet glamorous makeup palette.

She stepped out in a pair of stylish brown heeled mules and carried her essentials in a matching brown and cream woven handbag.

Their guests also dressed up to the nines in beach-worthy chic, with Terri modelling a cream and red dotted-patterned midi dress and her partner in a breezy aqua shirt and white jeans combo.

The brunette looked lovely in the sleek summer dress, which featured a shirred upper and floaty skirt whilst she stepped out in brown strappy sandals.

Her partner stepped out in a pair of smart brown dress shoes as he took hold of his daughter’s hand – who was adorably dressed in a white floral dress and red sandals.

Simon’s family outing comes as he is reportedly gearing up to launch a new TV car show.

The music mogul is said to consider the decision a ‘no brainer’ having been approached by a ‘number of well-known car experts and racing drivers wanting to partner with him over the years’.

Simon is currently developing the new show – will rival Top Gear – and ‘eyeing up’ producers.

A source told The Sun: ‘Simon has always been a huge car lover — and a car show is always something he has been interested in doing.’

‘He loves talking cars [and] right now there feels like an especially large appetite. The idea of a new car show is really a no-brainer for him.’

It was reported in July that X Factor had been axed after 17 years.

Simon is said to have pulled the plug on the ITV talent show – which launched in 2004 and last aired in 2018 – because he doesn’t want it to ‘become a bit of a joke.’
