Fatherhood has changed Simon Cowell!

Dad to 15-month-old Eric with Lauren Silverman, the American Idol judge dished to Hello! magazine that he and his partner would love to have another child...specifically a daughter!

"I think if you have one child it would be lovely to have a girl," Cowell, 55, told the magazine. Fortunately, his girlfriend wants the same thing! They even thought their first child would be a girl after doctors misinformed them of their baby's sex.

"When I was pregnant with Eric I was told by the doctors he was a girl," she said. "But he just fooled them. There were a few names floating around but we had our name picked out and it would be lovely to have a girl."

Even though the 37-year-old and Cowell want to have a daughter in the future, Silverman joked that their future bundle of joy might have a little trouble growing up with such a "protective" dad.

"The only problem is that I will feel sorry for her when she is older because she won't be able to leave the house, and no man would dare come near here because Simon would be so protective," she said.

Silverman already has a nine-year-old son from her pervious marriage. As an experienced mom, she knew she had to make changes to Cowell's home, which was probably a bachelor pad LOL. "Simon's house is now a family home," she said. "I have three boys now including him. He's a great dad. He's lots of fun, he makes us all laugh a lot."

But he isn't the only one undergoing changes. Silverman also dished that the Britain's Got Talent host has changed her for the better, too. "He makes me laugh all the time. I can't get angry with him because when I'm trying to be cross he just makes me laugh," she dished. "I feel I learn so much from him, which is incredibly inspiring. He's very talented."

Talents aside, Cowell maintained that he still hasn't changed one of his son's diapers, but he does love being a dad. "I never expected to be a father but I love it. Eric makes me laugh," he gushed. "He and I communicate very well because we basically like the same things—Scooby Doo, Disney movies, laughing at the dogs."
