Simon Cowell enjoys a family day out with Lauren Silverman and their son Eric as they indulge in some retail therapy in Malibu

He is still recovering after breaking his back in an electric bike accident last year.

And Simon Cowell made sure his health was a priority as he sported a protective face mask while out with partner Lauren Silverman and their son Eric amid the Covid pandemic. 

The music mogul, 61, kept his look casual and sported a navy round-neck jumper as he enjoyed a day with his family in Malibu on Tuesday.

He opted for comfort in a pair of black trainers and added white knee-length shorts to his ensemble as he held his son’s hand.

Lauren, 43, also cut a laid-back figure as she sported a V-neck brown top and skinny jeans. 

Opting for beige accessories, she paired some sandals with a Yves Saint Laurent bag that she draped over her shoulder.

The couple held hands with their seven-year-old son, who donned a bold blue T-shirt with the word ‘dude’ across it.

He sported a bright blue mask and wore trainers like his father which he paired with grey joggers. 

Last week, it was reported that Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon walks over 40 miles a week to help him recover from breaking his back in an electric bike accident last year.

In August, Simon was rushed to hospital to undergo six hours of surgery after injuring himself in the accident, forcing him to cancel all his planned TV work for the rest of the year.

But now the record executive is determined to do everything he can to ensure he makes a full recovery, including walking for several hours a day and holding business meetings at 9AM so that he no longer lives like a ‘vampire’.  

Of his new fitness regime, a source told MailOnline: ‘Simon said how he hasn’t worn trainers as much as this in 20 years.

‘He feels fitter than ever before and is keeping to a normal routine rather than being on the phone until into the early hours of the morning.’

The source also added that Simon would return to America’s Got Talent at the end of March to film the new series.

Adding to this, The Sun also reported that Simon was set to start filming the reality competition show as a source said he was excited to be back.  

The insider told the publication: ‘Simon can’t wait to get back to doing what he loves. He’s been focused on his return for months.’

Last year, reports claimed Simon was considering legal action against the manufacturers of his electric bike after breaking his back.

The TV mogul and his team were said to be ‘weighing up’ legal options and have been ‘pressing’ the manufacturers, Swindon Powertrain.

One lawyer claimed that a successful lawsuit could see Simon get up to £10million for medical bills and loss of earnings, The Sun reported once more.
