Simon Cowell has admitted that having children or starting a family probably isn't on the cards for him. 

The 51-year-old music mogul is engaged to Mezhgan Hussainy, but his incredibly packed schedule means that finding time to plan something as life changing as bringing up a baby is difficult to say the least. 

He told GQ magazine, ""Truthfully, with the schedule, the crazy hours, I don't think it would work... With the way I live my life, I wouldn't have the patience. I'd sort of want people born at the age of 10."

Cowell is currently working on the debut season of X Factor USA and you can watch a clip of him talking about his role on the show here:
