Simon Cowell has tipped Cheryl Cole for motherhood.
The 'X Factor' star foresees his fellow reality show judge - who secretly wed French restaurateur Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini last month - becoming a parent in the near future.
Quizzed if he and Cheryl have discussed kids, he said: "I have actually, yeah. I think she's next. Louis [Walsh, fellow co-star] will be last. I wouldn't be surprised if she did."
Simon also revealed that he has given the 31-year-old beauty and her new husband a gift to mark their nuptials in July.
Asked if he's bought a present for the couple, he added: "Yes I did, I can't remember, a champagne bucket or something."
The 54-year-old music mogul welcomed his first child, son Eric, with girlfriend Lauren Silverman in February and he has found fatherhood an easier adjustment than he expected.
Speaking at the London auditions of 'The X Factor' at Wembley Arena today (01.08.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "It's not that difficult - if you've got a good [partner], who I've got, it's a lot of fun. It's easier than I thought."
Meanwhile, newlywed Cheryl revealed that she's on cloud nine following her recent marriage and pop success after her new single 'Crazy Stupid Love' topped the UK singles chart last week.
She gushed: "I'm really happy. I've had a great couple of weeks, I've had a number one record, the sun's shining - I couldn't ask for more to be honest."

Ray Winstone had a "wild" night out with Sean Penn.
The 57-year-old actor enjoyed working with the 54-year-old hunk in the upcoming thriller 'The Gunman', but he admits that wasn't the first time they had met as they'd hit it off 10 years ago on a boozy night out.
Speaking to Loaded magazine, he said: "I met Sean probably for the first time 10 years ago and had a night out with him, one of the wild ones. And we had a terrific night together. We had a drink, you know - we were out. He drinks like an Irishman or an Englishman - he knows how to have a booze, you know."
However, the veteran actor insists his partying days are well and truly behind him.
He explained: "You go to work and you go home and every now and then you'll have a beer.
"When I worked with [Sean] on 'The Gunman', you know, we'd have a quick beer or something, but most of the time he was on set all day long, every day, and he was training, keeping himself in shape - he looks magnificent for his age."
Meanwhile, in a time when so many stars are finding themselves in rehab due to alcohol addiction, Ray believes it's crucial that actors and actresses stay sober because too much booze can lead to "career suicide."
He added: "When you're in work mode, you don't [drink alcohol]. Maybe when you were 25 you could do that, but it's career suicide if you start on the booze and you can't do your job properly."

Javier Bardem has been forced to deny accusations he is anti-Semitic.
The 45-year-old actor was criticised after he, his wife Penelope Cruz, director Pedro Almodovar and a number of professionals from the Spanish film industry signed an open letter calling the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza "genocide" but Javier insisted he has "respect" for the people of Israel.
He said in a statement: "My signature was solely meant as a plea for peace. Destruction and hatred only generate more hatred and destruction."
Replying to accusations he is anti-Semitic, Javier said: "While I was critical of the Israeli military response, I have great respect for the people of Israel and deep compassion for their losses. I am now being labeled by some as anti-Semitic, as is my wife - which is the antithesis of who we are as human beings. We detest anti-Semitism as much as we detest the horrible and painful consequences of war."
Javier then issued a plea for peace in Gaza.
He said: "I was raised to be against any act of violence, and the consequent suffering of humanity for it, regardless of religions, ethnicities and borders. Too many innocent Palestinian mothers have lost their children to this conflict. Too many innocent Israeli mothers share the same grief. There should not be any political reason that can justify such enormous pain on both sides. It's my hope that leaders involved in this complicated struggle will heed the call of United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, 'In the name of humanity, the violence must stop.' "

PETA have slammed Kim Kardashian over her dolphin ride in Mexico.
The reality star has come under fire from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) who called Kim "intrusive" and "dangerous" for swimming with dolphins at Vallarta Adventures in Puerto Vallarta.
Earlier this week (29.07.14) the mother of one posted a video on Instagram of herself and her jewellery designer friend, Kristen Gipson, taking part in a double dolphin ride. She captioned the film: "Double dolphin ride with @kristennoelgipson Thank you Vallarta Adventures for teaching us so much! Can't wait to show my daughter the pics of her swimming with dolphins & kissing a sea lion when she gets older! #ThanksForTheMemories #Mexico (sic)"
Now the Senior Vice President of PETA, Lisa Lange has criticised the star for supporting the "invasive" aquatic centre.
Speaking to RadarOnline.com Lisa said: "Kim is free to leave the pool, but for the dolphins, it's a lifetime sentence.
"Touch tanks and 'swim-with' programs allow the public to pet, kiss, or even 'ride' dolphins. Such programs invade the animals' already diminished worlds and are intrusive, dangerous, and stressful for the animals as well as for human participants."
It's not the first time the brunette beauty has been attacked by PETA. In 2012, the 33-year-old TV personality has a bag of flour thrown at her because she refused to stop wearing fur.
At the time Kim managed to find the situation funny as she joked: "That probably is the craziest, unexpected, weirdest thing that ever happened to me
"Like I said to my make-up artist, I wanted more powder and that's a whole lot of translucent powder right there."

Kerry Washington named her baby after her grandmother.
During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' on Thursday (31.07.14), Kerry revealed to Jimmy that she had heard he and wife Molly McNearney named their daughter Jane after his grandmother and remarked "Mine is too," referring to her own daughter and granny, both called Isabelle.
Jimmy said: "Your baby's name is Isabelle and mine is Jane. We should swap them and see if our families notice!"
Kerry - who married Isabelle's father Nnamdi Asomugha earlier this year - also thanked the chat show host for sending her some of her favourite foods while she was pregnant.
She said: "You did something very kind last time I came [in February]. There's nothing more kind to do for a pregnant lady than [to give her] a box full of frozen deliciousness. It was amazing!"
And Kerry had high praise for President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, saying: "He and his amazing wife, they're just genuine, authentic, fantastic people who are trying to do their best for the country. They're awesome!"

Simon Cowell says Cheryl Cole is the happiest he's ever seen her.
The 54-year-old music mogul is currently filming the latest series of the UK 'X Factor' alongside the 'Crazy Stupid Love' hitmaker and says her recent surprise wedding to husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini is responsible for her happiness.
He tweeted: "Cheryl is the happiest I have ever seen her. Her new husband is a great guy. [sic]"
Cheryl - who wed in a secret ceremony last month, just three months after she and Jean-Bernard started dating - was famously booted off the American version of 'The X Factor' by Simon in 2011, but she insists the pair are good friends again.
Talking about their friendship, she told Greg James on BBC Radio 1: "[It's] good, like we've never been away, to be honest.
"I mean, obviously we don't agree on everything but that's how our relationship is."
The pair are joined on the judging panel by veteran Louis Walsh and ex-Spice Girl, Mel B, who has impressed Simon with her work ethic.
He tweeted: "Mel B is a total star. She flew in from New York last night.
"No sleep. And totally on it. She is a revelation. [sic]"

Daniel Radcliffe was unable to walk the red carpet at the Mexican premiere of 'What If' because of crowd problems.
The 25-year-old actor had been due to appear at the event yesterday (31.08.14) but Mexico City's civil protection agency ordered distributor Diamond Films Mexico to suspend the screening - which was due to take place at a local shopping mall - after an unexpectedly large number of fans arrived early at the venue in the hope of catching a glimpse of their idol.
Diamond Films said: "We appreciate the response and enthusiasm for this event. Sorry, but this decision is out of our control."
The premiere for the movie - which is directed by Michael Dowse and also stars Zoe Kazan - still went ahead, but without the cast in attendance.
Daniel recently admitted he loved gorging on calorific 'Fool's Gold' sandwiches - which are made up of a whole loaf of bread, a jar of jam, a jar of peanut butter, bacon rashers and loads of butter - while filming 'What If'.
He said: "If you can get a job where people will pay you to eat Fool's Gold sandwiches, take it.
"Zoe hated it, but she grew up here and I grew up in England. In LA you're all very healthy here, but I am not. I am 70 per cent Fool's Gold. I enjoyed it a lot."

Karrueche Tran has ended her relationship with Chris Brown for good.
The 26-year-old beauty is reportedly tired of her on/off boyfriend's "immature" ways and thinks he is ruining his life by putting partying ahead of making music.
A source told TMZ: "Chris acts immature, like a child."
According to the website, the final straw for Karrueche was when the 'Yeah 3x' hitmaker liked two fan photos on Instagram of himself and ex-girlfriend Rihanna - who he has been frequently re-linked with during his off periods with the model - together.
In response to the split, Chris has jetted off to St. Tropez on holiday - and took a good friend of his former lover with him in a bid to make her jealous.
However, far from getting the reaction he wanted, Karrueche has now changed her phone number so the 25-year-old singer is unable to contact her.
In a recent interview, Karrueche recently admitted Rihanna had caused problems with her relationship with Chris because her many fans have opinions about the situation.
She said: "In this case my boyfriend is a celebrity whose ex-girlfriend is an even bigger [celebrity]...so, I'm not only am I fighting a battle with her, I'm fighting a battle with her 14 million fans or however else.
"So, imagine how that feels for me when I gotta get on Twitter and I see a whole bunch of stuff...they make up all kinds of crazy stuff and it's like they know nothing about me.
"But, you know, because they know nothing about me, because I stay so mute sometimes, that leaves open space for them to say whatever they want."

Kelly Rowland will focus on her husband when her baby is born.
The 'Motivation' singer and her manager spouse Tim Witherspoon will welcome their first child, a son, into the world later this year and she says one of the best pieces of advice she has been given so far is not to neglect her marriage.
She said on 'The Insider': "The best advice I have recently gotten was actually from a girlfriend of mine. She said, 'You know, the best thing to do is focus on that husband.'
"You got the baby, but focus on your husband just to make sure he is happy because now you have two babies."
Kelly, 33, recently admitted her baby wasn't planned, but she and her spouse are very excited and have already chosen a name.
She said: "It was a surprise, I can definitely tell you that. It was a great surprise!
"The dad picked out the name. It has to do with family."
The former Destiny's Child singer is really enjoying her pregnancy, but is struggling to adjust to her new curves.
She said: "I had no morning sickness. I feel great.
"The most shocking thing about pregnancy to me is probably the way your body changes -- nobody can prepare you for that. Not a book, not anything. You just go through it."
