Simon Cowell on kids: It's 'important to have a lot of me's around'

New York, Mar 10 : After consistently saying no to kids for years, Simon Cowell might just end up having children with fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy after all.

In an interview with Jay Leno, the music mogul said that he is "kind of torn", telling him he finally put a ring on it.

Cowell appeared on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' on Monday and officially broke the news that he and girlfriend Mezhgan Hussainy are getting hitched, reports People.

However, Leno had Cowell in confessional mode on his show, and asked him: "Are rumours you''re engaged true?"

"Are they true? Well, I do have somebody in my life now, Jay, yes. And I kinda made a decision this year to make somebody happy," the New York Daily News quoted Cowell as saying.

He said that he''d like to get married within the next ten years and, with regard to having kids with Hussainy, he is "kind of torn."

"I''m a bit too old to have kids, but then again I think it would be important to have a lot of me''s around in the future," he said.
