X Factor judges back Cowell to be a 'great father'

X Factor judges Kelly Rowland, Demi Lovato and Paulina Rubio have claimed that fellow-judge Simon Cowell will make a great father.

Kelly Rowland said at the Television Critics Association meeting that she thinks Cowell is a very respected and classy guy and added that he would be a great father, People Magazine reported.

Paulina Rubio, who recently joined the show, said that gossip is a part of life, adding that he hasn't told her anything but if the reports are true, she will support him.

Demi Lovato abstained from talking on the controversial topic saying that she would rather talk about the show than comment on Cowell's personal life, People magazine reported.

Lovato revealed that she has learnt a lot from Cowell and said that unlike his on-screen appearance, he is a very sweet person.

Cowell is expecting a baby with friend Andrew Silverman's wife, Lauren Silverman. Andrew has filed for divorce citing 'adultery' as the reason, in New York.
