Simon Jnr and wedding bells for CowellINFphoto.com
Simon Cowell has confirmed he is expecting a baby boy with pregnant lover Lauren Silverman.
Cowell also dropped a massive bombshell and revealed plans to marry the pretty brunette socialite: "I wouldn't expect Lauren to be a single mother."
The dad-to-be made the announcement in US radio interview with Ryan Seacrest and insisted his first born will have an English accent.
Speaking about parenting he told the American Idol host: "The baby has to have an English accent!"
When asked if he plans to be at the birth of his baby he said: "Are you out of your mind? There are certain things you shouldn't see and that is one of them."
He previously said his son - due to be born in February - will have to work for his own fortune because the X Factor boss plans to leave his £225million pile to charity.
The 53-year-old music mogul said: “I’m going to leave my money to somebody. A charity, probably — kids and dogs.
“I don’t believe in passing on from one generation to another.
“Your legacy has to be that hopefully you gave enough people an opportunity, so that they could do well, and you gave them your time, taught them what you know.”
You may now kiss the bride!

Cowell, who is dating Silverman, 36, also insists he will never give up work, so mum will be left holding the baby.
He added: “A lot of people who retire, they hate their job so much, they just love the idea of not working any more.
“That horrifies me. I’m going to be still working in my 80s or 90s.”
And in October’s Esquire magazine he insists he can be cool despite being an older dad.
He says: “You can be cool as you get older if you’re (a) successful and (b) you can relate to younger people without acting like an idiot. But don’t dye your hair.”
Cowell’s comments about money echo those of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, who says his kids won’t see his £750million either.
In an interview with the Mirror in 2008, Lord Lloyd-Webber said: “It is about having a work ethic - I don’t believe in inherited money at all. They’d have no incentive. I’ll give them a start but they ain’t going to end up owning my Really Useful Group.”
Cowell said earlier this week he had seen a baby scan which was “surreal” and he is “over the moon” to be having a mini-Simon, according to reports in America yesterday, which claimed his child will be a boy. After Cowell had an affair with Lauren, she split with husband Andrew. They will share custody of their son Adam, eight.
Ladbrokes is offering odds of 4-1 that the music mogul names his baby Simon junior, with his dad’s name Eric running at 5-1.
Louis and Gary, the names of the other male UK X Factor judges, are 33-1.
