The “X Factor” hunk treated his soon-to-be-babymama to a delicious meal at the Scalini Italian restaurant in the trendy Chelsea neighborhood, and there were plenty of public displays of affection along the way.

Simon told press that the upcoming season of his hit talent show is on a whole new level and better than ever before- "It was absolutely incredible."

After seeing a sneak preview of the edited footage, Cowell praised "the enthusiasm, the changes, the judging talent [that] is fantastic. This feels fresh and fantastic. I feel like a proud daddy."
