SIMON Cowell was silly to let this woman go!

The lovely, classy, Terri Seymour graced the red carpet Friday night for the 38th Annual Humanitarian Awards in Beverly Hills.

Simon’s mom, 84-year-old Julie Cowell, recently revealed she wants her superstar son to reduce his workload and settle down with Seymour, who the music mogul split from last year after six years of dating.

“Top of the class is Terri,” Julie said. “She is down-to-earth and a lovely person. Terri loved Simon purely for the person he is, unlike some of the others. She and Simon still speak to each other every day and Terri calls me every ten days to say hello.

“I wasn’t well a few weeks ago and Simon told Terri, who immediately called to see if there was anything she could do. She was my favorite, but sadly Simon is married to his work.”

Although Julie would love to see Simon, 50, tie the knot, she admits he has shied away from commitment since he was a teenager.

“He had his first girlfriend at 17 and brought her home to meet me, which was sweet. But when she suggested joining us on holiday, Simon broke up with her because he thought that was too much commitment!” she added.

“When he was 19, he told me he never wanted to get married. He’s brilliant with his nephews and nieces, but he says, ‘I’m a great uncle but I don’t think I’d be a great dad.’”
