Simon Cowell is Back on the Market

"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 reasons for ending it."

Outspoken American Idol judge(48) and girlfriend of six years(34) have ended their relationship. Cowell's rep confirmed the much speculated gossip to People magazine.So that's grand - not only does Simon's rep,let the world know that his client was dumped, he added that there were not any other people involved in the split "certainly not on Simon's side."

Seymour and Simon met when she was 18 but did not get involved until after an interview she conducted with him in 2002. Never one to shy away from telling it like it is, he spoke openly to the press about the fact that he was not interested in marriage or having children and in the end Terri wants to have children.
