full size Simon Cowell

The X Factor creator and judge Simon Cowell, a father? Let us chuckle at that uncanny combination of words.

Unless the mixture of deep Vs and pomposity causes a yet-unknown intrauterine chemical reaction, Simon doesn’t have any children. A self-confessed workaholic, he split with fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy in early 2012 after about three years together. Most recently, the 53-year-old music and TV mogul has been linked to former Baywatch babe Carmen Electra.

There may be no snarky mini-Cowells running amok (can you imagine the bill for all those Baby Gap v-necks?), but that’s not to say Simon would be wholly opposed to the idea. “I do really, really like kids, because I can talk to them and listen to them," Simon explained to AOL Music in March 2012. "The problem has always been how much time you need to devote to bringing up kids and I've always dedicated all my life to work, and at 52, I've probably missed the opportunity.”

As of now, Simon gets his dose of daddyhood as godfather to ex-girlfriend Sinitta’s two adopted children.

“[Simon]’s so much fun,” Sinitta gushed to the UK’s Mirror in November 2010. “They call him Silly Simon and climb all over him.”
