Last week rumor had it that The X Factor was looking to add Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio as judges, and now a report from FOX has confirmed the rumors.
"It's taken more than a decade, but I'm delighted to finally be on a panel with three girls (I think!)," said the fourth judge Simon Cowell said in a statement.
"Paulina and Kelly both have great taste and massive experience in the music industry and together with Demi, this is going to be a fun panel. It just feels like the time to do something different."
Rowland, who appeared on the U.K. version of the show, added that she's happy to be "reuniting" with Cowell.
Rowland and Rubio replace the L.A. Reid, who spent two seasons with the program, and Britney Spears, who left after just one season.
