Simon Cowell is finally speaking out following the news that he is expecting a child with his former friend’s wife, Lauren Silverman.
Cowell was on hand at the X Factor TSA Panel in Los Angeles Thursday and was greeted by reporters with an array of “congratulations” and personal questions, Us Weekly reports. Attempting to play coy Cowell responded to the questions and comments saying, “Am I missing something?”
The 53-year-old judge finally conceded and stated, "Unfortunately, I have to keep this for the moment private. It's just one of those things. But thank you very much anyway."
The topic finally turned to business and Cowell was joined by X Factor judges Demi Lovato and Kelly Rowland, but it didn’t take long for the conversation to turn back to personal. Once again, Cowell calmly addressed the topic. "I would love to [talk], but I have to respect a lot of people's feelings right now," he explained. "There a lot of things I will eventually clear up when the time is right, but I really have to be sensitive because there's a lot of people's feelings involved here."
The headline shattering news came at the end of July stating that Cowell and Silverman became close after she and real-estate mogul and estranged husband Andrew seoparated. According to sources, Silverman, 36, is about 10 weeks along.
