Simon Cowell has split from his longtime girlfriend Terri Seymour, it has been confirmed.

The couple – who dated for six years – split in September, Cowell’s publicist, Max Clifford, said in a statement.

The statement reads, “Terri phoned Simon and finished it in September, about six weeks ago.

“They are going to remain close friends. Simon thinks the world of Terri and that isn’t going to change. He also understands her reason for ending it.

“In the past Terri has said that she wants kids but that just isn’t Simon.

“Nobody else is involved, certainly not on Simon’s side.”

According to reports, Cowell, 49, splashed out $5m on a Los Angeles home for Seymour as a thank you for their time together.

Simon has also promised to help her as she adjusts to single life.
