Simon Cowell opened up about his engagement to makeup artist Mezghan Hussainy during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Monday night. And get this — the American Idol judge is thinking of one day becoming a father.
Jay asked Simon to set the rumors straight about his reported engagement not long after the interview began.
The music mogul, 50, replied: “Are [the rumors] true?’ Well, I do have somebody in my life now, Jay, yes. And I kinda made a decision this year to make that somebody happy…it’s called giving back…I was asleep I think. No, look, I bought her the ring in London.”
Hussainy was later invited from the audience to join Cowell on-stage.
“I’m kind of torn because I’m a bit too old to have kids, but then again I think it would be important to have a lot of ‘mes’ around in the future.”
Cowell promises he’ll wed Hussainy “within the next ten years.”
Simon’s ex, Terri Seymour, has to be livid. She dated the music mogul for more than six years and he vowed to never wed. Less than a year after they split, he’s marrying someone else?! Burn!
