Simon Cowell heads out for lunch with partner Lauren Silverman and their son Eric in Malibu

He’s been recovering well from his bike accident, which saw him break his back last year.

And Simon Cowell appeared in good company as he joined his partner Lauren Silverman and their son Eric for a lunch date in Malibu on Saturday.

The music mogul, 61, looked typically stylish as he teamed a grey jumper with white shorts during his casual outing.

Maintaining a dressed-down appearance, the X Factor star rounded off his outfit with chunky trainers, circular-framed shades and a single bracelet.

Socialite Lauren, 43, cut an equally chic figure in a knitted cardigan, a grey crop top and denim jeans.

Holding hands with her seven-year-old, the New Yorker swept her tresses into a low ponytail and opted for minimal make-up. 

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

In August, the media personality 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 music 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 insider also added that Simon would return to America’s Got Talent at the end of the month to film the new series.

However, the British edition of the competition show has been cancelled this year as the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic continues to wreak havoc.
