The 'X Factor' boss said his pregnant girlfriend Lauren Silverman, who reached a divorce settlement with her ex-husband Andrew last week, has changed his life for the better, reported Contactmusic.
"I'm proud to be a dad. It's something I hadn't thought of before, but now I know I feel good about it. Things are changing in my life right now, for the better. She (Lauren)is a very special girl," he said.
Cowell, 53, declined to discuss his relationship status further.
"Unfortunately, I have to keep this for the moment private. It's just one of those things. But thank you very much anyway," he said.
