Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour will stay friends

Simon Cowell has split from girlfriend Terri Seymour after 6 years together.

The X Factor supremo is said to be relieved that their romance has come to an end.

'Simon has basically been waiting for Terri to announce the relationship is over for months,' a friend reveals.

'She has been a weight around his neck for a long time but the problem was that his mother absolutely adored Terri and thought the world of her,so Simon was in a bit of a rut.'

The TV presenter, 34, shared 48-year-old Simon's Beverly Hills mansion but moved out into a luxury LA pad he bought for her this summer. She is now rumoured to be dating actor Stephen Dorff.

'She wanted kids with Simon desperately, but he wasn’t interested in starting a family or getting married,' the source tells The Mail On Sunday.

'All Simon cares about is being the richest, most successful man on the planet. Celebrity and money are all that he cares about.'
