Cowell denies splitting with girlfriend

Simon Cowell has denied he has split from his model girlfriend Terri Seymour.

The 'American Idol' judge was reported to have broken off his five-year romance with the 33-year-old beauty amid claims the star's heavy work load work had put a strain on the relationship.

The couple was also at the centre of rumours that Cowell's refusal to settle down and start a family had caused a rift between the pair.

But Cowell's representative Max Clifford insists their relationship is still going strong.

He says: "I've spoken to Simon about this and he and Terri are absolutely fine. They're as happy as they've always been."
