Lauren Silverman was spotted enjoying a day at the beach in Malibu with son Eric on Thursday, as her partner Simon Cowell continues to recover from back surgery.
The brunette beauty, 43, cut a chic figure in a black off-the-shoulder romper, which she teamed with a wide-brimmed white hat, as she and her friends watched their children try their hand at boogie boarding in the surf.
Her outing comes as her 60-year-old partner has been nicknamed ‘The Terminator’ by his pals after bouncing back following the six-hour surgery to repair his broken back, caused by a horror accident on an electric bike at his Malibu home.
Life’s a beach: Lauren Silverman was spotted enjoying a day at the beach in Malibu with son Eric on Thursday, as her partner Simon Cowell continues to recover from back surgery.
Shielding her eyes with a pair of stylish sunglasses, stunning Lauren looked carefree as she watched her seven-year-old offspring bond with his pals.
Joining in on the fun, she also waded into the Pacific Ocean for a cooling dip amid the sweltering late summer temperatures over much of Southern California.
Wearing a pair of swimming shorts, adorable little Eric appeared keen to show his doting mother his boogie boarding skills during their two-hour visit to the beach.

Surgery: Lauren’s outing comes as her 60-year-old partner Simon Cowell continues to recover from six-hour surgery to repair his broken back, caused by a horror accident on an electric bike
On Saturday, Simon was pictured for the first time since his horrific bike accident, as he headed to a Malibu hospital for a check-up.
The TV personality injured himself a fortnight ago after testing his new electric bike in Los Angeles.
He broke three vertebrae in the fall and has had a steel rod inserted in his back after the painful accident.
A source told The Sun: ‘One of his friends joked that the metal holding him together makes him The Terminator – which amused Simon. He won’t mind if that sticks, but the main thing is that he’s on the mend.
Chat: She sat on the golden shore as she chatted and laughed with the small group of friends

‘The experts are pleased with how things are looking and he’s doing physiotherapy at home every day. It’s looking good.’
Speaking exclusively with MailOnline after the accident, sources close to the family said: ‘He’s in good spirits and knows he had a lucky escape and that this could have been worse.’
And within two days Simon was already said to be back on his feet walking around and even taking work calls despite reportedly facing ‘weeks’ of physiotherapy.
The family sources added: ‘He’s doing really well considering everything.
‘He’s been walking around already, obviously he has to be careful, which is expected considering surgery was only one day ago.
‘Simon has even been working yesterday and also today he’s been on emails on his iPad since early morning.’
‘He’s in good spirits and knows he had a lucky escape and that this could have been worse,’ they added.
Despite his speedy recovery, it’s been confirmed that Simon will not appear in the Britain’s Got Talent finals, which are due to start filming at the end of this month.
While it had been hoped Simon could make appearances via video call, bosses confirmed on Sunday that Diversity star Ashley Banjo will be replacing him.
A source also told The Mirror: ‘It was decided that the idea of having him judge the BGT finalists via a link was just not feasible – nor sensible.
‘Everything is fixed, he just needs healing time. Flying halfway across the world is not part of the plan and he has agreed to put his health first.’
