Cowell says he will be a dad
British TV star Simon Cowell announced that he is excited to be a father, in his first public confirmation that he will be having a child with New York socialite Lauren Silverman, who is married.
Cowell previously dodged questions about the affair, but later told BBC that “things are changing in my life right now, for the better.” He also added, “I’m proud to be a dad.”
The 53-year-old talent show judge spoke of Silverman, saying she is “a very special girl” and although he hadn’t thought of fatherhood before, he now feels good about it.
Cowell made these statements on Tuesday during the world premier of the film “One Direction: This Is Us” in London.
