A sneak peek from Netflix’s upcoming docuseries Simon Cowell: The Next Act shows Simon Cowell, 66, and his wife Lauren Silverman, 48, in an emotional exchange over attending Lauren’s son Adam’s graduation. The series, premiering December 10, follows the music mogul behind global hits like One Direction, Westlife, and Little Mix, as he searches for the next big musical talent.
The clip reveals Lauren in tears as she talks to Simon about balancing family and work. She explains, “Work for Simon is not just work. It’s his passion, his hobby, his life. I worry about burnout. The hardest part is keeping our family together, especially with my other son, Adam, living in another country.”
Simon, trying to clarify, asks, “Do I have to be there for the whole graduation?” Lauren firmly replies, “Yes, you have to be there. It’s one thing I’m asking for.” Simon reassures her, saying he wants to attend but was unsure of the schedule as he’s never been to a graduation before.
Netflix captioned the sneak peek: “Creating the next great boyband will require sacrifices from everyone—including Simon himself.” Fans have praised the couple for their honesty and are excited for the six-part series.
