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

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. (ANI)

Every minute of every day our news editors canvass the issues, and stories making the news to provide our readers with a broad and in-depth coverage of what's happening in the world.

Our first priority is the state. We specialise in Maine news. From Lewiston to Portland, we're on the lookout day and night to keep track of issues making the news. We also strive to keep abreast of national news.

Breaking stories out of the continental United States usually break first on the Maine Mirror. Neighbouring states and key cities too often feature on our news pages.

We also provide a whole lot of other content you'd expect from any newspaper including international sports coverage and local Maine weather forecasts.

We also provide readers with an opportunity to engage in newsmaking by voting on major stories in the news, and following how other readers are viewing the issues. Our news polls are regularly updated, and attract thousands of voters over each week they're conducted.

Our business writers too work hard to keep you abreast of what's happening in the markets, not only in the U.S. but across the globe. We work around the clock to post stories from major financial centers like Tokyo, Paris, London, and of course New York, where we have extensive coverage of the major indices, particularly the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P and Russell 2000.
