I'm Corey with the story, bringing you the latest in entertainment and pop culture. Lauren Silverman and her partner, Simon Cowell, used to have a firm no-phone policy for their 12-year-old son, Eric. But she recently reversed course after catching him secretly using Snapchat on her own device. Interestingly, Simon has not owned a mobile phone for eight years. Now Eric has his own phone, but only for texting and calling friends and family. Social media remains off limits to shield him from his downsides. Lauren notes that kids today rely on texting to make plans, share laughs, and build friendships. Without it, they can feel left out of the group.

Fans have praised her balanced approach online, calling her a smart role model for setting these boundaries. She enforces rules like no phones in bedrooms at the dinner table or during family outings. Meanwhile, Simon quit phones back in 2018 to boost his focus and happiness, saying it helped his mental health big time. Support for this episode comes from our sponsor. See the description.
