His music mogul father recently admitted he already has an eye for talent.

Although he has made numerous appearances on the X Factor, little Eric Cowell, two, was world's away from hunting for the next big star alongside his dad Simon as he had a wealth of fun with his mum Lauren Silverman in LA on Thursday. 

Walking down the street in the California sunshine on the last days of summer, the tot was adorable in a pair of cut-off denim shorts, simple white tee and mini converse.

Treated to ice cream on his day out, the sweet youngster playfully swung from his mum and a friend's arm.

Channelling a 70s look, mum Lauren, 39, slipped into a pair of form-fitting light-wash denim flares that hugged her honed pins to perfection as she strolled down the street with her little tot.

Adding to her folk inspired ensemble, the American beauty teamed her on-trend jeans with a blue partially sheer blouse - which she stylishly layered over a nude vest.

The stunner's eye-catching shirt complemented her denims as it boasted a three-quarter length sleeve that flared out to add to the floral motif.

Entertaining her youngster on the pavement, Lauren injected some height into her slender frame with a warm beige mule as she casually draped her chic cross-body bag over her shoulder.

Adding a touch of sparkle to her ensemble, Lauren opted to place a simple diamond stud in each ear as she decorated her wrists with a statement gold watch and simple bracelet.

Lauren shielded her eyes from the burning Californian sun with a pair of retro inspired sunnies which rested upon her impressive high cheekbones.

'He's brilliant,' Cowell said. 'He's very good to watch funnily enough, because I can see when he's bored and when he's up dancing. He's a good critic already. He's unpaid but he's helping me!'

He added that having children had made him a 'softer' judge, as it had changed the way he views young people on talent shows.

'There's no question when you actually have a kid, it does make you feel different because you understand how you would feel if it was your son up there,' he said.
