Amid a cheating scandal, Simon Cowell is finally breaking his silence on his impeding fatherhood. At Tuesday's One Direction: This is Us premiere in London, the 53-year-old told BBC that he feels "good" and that, "I'm proud to be a dad."

The X Factor judge also publicly commented on Lauren Silverman, the married, 36-year-old New York socialite, he knocked up. "Things are changing in my life for the better … [Silverman] is a very special girl," said Cowell.

Looks like things are going well for the twosome despite the bizarre love triangle with Cowell's former friend/Silverman's now ex husband.

Silverman is believed to be around 12 weeks along, but no word on when Baby Cowell is due.
