Simon Cowell Opens Up About Split
November 6th, 2008
Simon Cowell has opened up about his recent split from Terri Seymour, his girlfriend of more than six years, saying, “I am married to my job.”
The ‘American Idol’ judge made the surprise announcement on November 1 (2008) in a statement from his rep saying, “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.”
Cowell provided further details of the break-up during an interview with Fox News explaining, “She wants a different path in life, and I totally respect her for it… I have never ever said that I want children or marriage. I know some people find it hard to fathom, but it’s me, it’s who I am.
“Bottom line is I am married to my job. When people moan about been a celebrity, I think ‘Oh please, sort yourself out – it’s the greatest job in the world.’ I wake up daily thanking my lucky stars, but to throw marriage into that mix is not right. I have seen too many celebrity marriages that on paper make a great mix, fall apart through ego and just plain celebrity madness.”
Cowell is quick to squash rumors of another woman being the reason for the split saying, “There is no one new in my life. I can honestly say some of my best friends are girls, but we’re not dating, and that is that.”
