Simon Cowell talks having children

Simon Cowell has admitted that he worries about being too old to be a dad.

The 51-year-old X Factor judge got engaged to make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy last February – should we expect little Cowells any time soon?

“I worry about it — because of my age,” he said, reports ShowbizSpy. “When I was a youngster, my dad used to play soccer and games with me. And I worry that if I was 70…”

“Also, if children could be born at the age of five I’d quite like that. I like them at that age when they can talk and understand. I’m not sure I could deal with the whole ‘ga ga goo’ thing. But I genuinely like kids.”
