Cowell's partner: 'I'm not dumping him over kids'

Simon Cowell's girlfriend Terri Seymour has hit out at reports she will dump the music mogul if he continues to refuse her children.

The model/TV presenter, 33, has been dating the American Idol judge since 2002, despite his insistence they will never marry or have kids together.

Seymour says: "Everyone knows he doesn't want marriage and kids. Although marriage doesn't really bother me as my own mum raised me on her own, I definitely want a baby some time down the road.

"But it's never something we discuss. We're happy the way we are and I'm not worrying about it just yet.

"Somebody wrote I was going to dump him if we didn't have children together - but that's not true."
