Simon Cowell has fellow The X Factor host Kelly Rowland in his corner. With news about Cowell having a baby on the way, people have been wondering what kind of dad the usually blunt host would be, but Rowland thinks when it comes to his children he'll be awesome. 

"I think Simon will be a wonderful father," E! News reported Rowland told them while promoting the Fox reality series at the TCAs today. "It's not my news to share, but I do know about Simon and his character. He's going to be a great dad." 

British Cowell is expecting his first child with Lauren Silverman, who is also his best friend's estranged wife. Rowland doesn't believe her co-host will let the drama surrounding the pregancy effect the baby.

"I think that he is always respectful. Always classy," the former Destiny Child's star said. "And I think that he will be like that as a father. He will be a classic father figure."

The newest X Factor judge Paulina Rubio agrees with Rowland on the subject. 

"I believe he is very much like a leader, so I believe because of that he will be a very good father," Rubio said to E! News in the August 1 article. 

Rowland is up for babysitting if Cowell ever needs it. 

"If he wants me to. I love babies!" Rowland said.
