Simon’s love for his pooches is well known – and it seems the 55-year-old’s son, 17 months, is a chip off the old block.
In fact, Si thinks Eric loves Squiddly and Diddly so much that he mind end up barking.
Speaking to the Daily Star he said: “I have no idea what he is going to talk like, because his mum is American, I am English and a lot of the girls in my house are from the Philippines.
“He spends most of his time with Squiddly and Diddly. He is going to end up barking.”
This is not the first time music mogul Simon has shown off just how alike he and his little boy are.
Last month he shared a photo on Twitter of Eric going through his wallet and throwing dollars around the bed.
Simon joked: “Oh No! He is Dad’s little boy [sic].”
But it seems Eric will have to work for his money, just like Simon did. Despite being worth an estimated £350 million – he insisted his son will not be inheriting a penny.
“I’m going to leave my money to somebody. A charity, probably – kids and dogs,” he told the Mirror.
“I don’t believe in passing on from one generation to another. Your legacy has to be that hopefully you’ve gave enough people an opportunity, so that they could do well, and you gave them your time, taught them what you know.”
