Welcome to the family! Simon Cowell asks ex Sinitta to be baby Eric's godmother

SIMON Cowell's close relationships with his exes leave many baffled – we'd cringe at running into a former flame in the supermarket, never mind bringing them on holiday.

But The X Factor boss has gone a step even further with his relationship with ex Sinitta – and has essentially welcomed her into the family.
The So Macho singer has revealed that her former boyfriend has asked her to be his son's godmother.
The bonkers star, famous for THAT palm tree dress on The X Factor, tweeted: "Wanted you to be the first (well after my mom and children) to hear about my next Serious New Role..Drum Roll ....
"At Mothers Day lunch with Mom, Magdalena, Zac, @JasonJGale @SimonCowell I was asked to be GodMother to Baby Eric !!!X"

THE EX FACTOR: Sinitta has got over her "betrayal" [WENN]

Along with the excited tweets, Sinitta shared a snap of herself staring down and holding Eric, who looked content swaddled in a cosy blanket.
While naming your ex as your firstborn's godmother sounds positively bizarre to us, it could be that Si was just returning the favour.
Mr Cowell is godfather to both of Sinitta's adopted kids, Magdelena and Zac – so it was kind of his duty to bestow the same honour on his pal.
Sinitta, 45, dated Simon, 54, on and off for twenty years, and admitted that she felt "betrayed" when he told her that girlfriend Lauren Silverman was pregnant.
The frequent X Factor guest confessed: "I was completely and utterly stunned. I was in such a daze, to the point where I wondered if I was dreaming it.
