    Simon Cowell Breaks Off Engagement After Two Years

    Simon Cowell's trip down the aisle is getting postponed.

    In an interview with UK newspaper the Daily Mirror, the X Factor judge reveals that he and his fiancee, Mezhgan Hussainy, are taking a break from both their relationship and their wedding plans.

    "It's quite a complicated relationship. We have had a break from each other, and we are still incredibly close," the 52-year-old Brit explains in Sunday's Mirror. "I'm vulnerable. It's not on, it's not off, it's somewhere in the middle. I don't know if I will ever get married, but I am happy."

    Cowell and Hussainy met on the set of American Idol in 2003, where she was working as a makeup artist, and the couple got engaged in February 2010. At the time, Cowell, who's known for his emotionless demeanor, made it clear that he was very much over the moon.

    "I'm smitten with Mezghan, I think she's the one," he gushed to the British TV host Piers Morgan. "She's very special...You know when you've found somebody very special."

    But in Sunday's Mirror, Cowell alludes that the spark has fizzled out and he's regretting his remarks from two years ago.

    Addressing his heartfelt quip on Piers Morgan, Cowell says, "I have been pretty good about not talking about my private stuff, but I got caught up in the moment."

      If Clooney and Cowel live long lives...the young gals of today may have the opportunity to visit the 'old guys' someday and wipe drool off their chins when they're being cared for in nursing homes. The wonderful part about raising a 'good' family is that a family's elderly will have those who love and care for them IF they ever need help. Clooney and Cowell will likely not be among those who have a 'loving' family of their own. Sad....

        True, but they have enough money to afford excellent care.

      He's too much of a narcsisist to get married!
    • 007  •  Jacksonville, Florida  •  4 months ago
      This guy loves himself way too much. He reminds me of George Clooney when one girl goes
      out the door the other one is waiting outside to go in. Can't blame men for being playboys if
      they know someone else will be willing to be a partner w/o marriage & it cost them nothing.

      strange thing. He is extremely wealthy and always has a hot woman by his side yet he always looks miserable? I don't get it.
      • Carrie L 4 months ago
        He really does seem to be a miserable person and some people are just that way, inability to appreciate their blessings.

        maybe he's secretly gay?

      Simon loves himself and mostly his money , He it's just like Clooney , never will married , but when he will become older he will wish to have someone love him unconditionally . I guess with all the money he has he can pay for his care , but not for love .
    • A Yahoo! User  •  4 months ago
      At his age, he will never marry her or anybody else. My brother-in-law is like that, he dates a lot and has gotten engaged too many times to count but then gets cold feet every time. He is now 63 and alone!
    • Peggy  •  Washington, District of Columbia  •  4 months ago
      No. I don't think that George Clooney and Simon Cowell are gay. I think they are play boys and they do not see themselves getting tied down. Simon was making 17 million a year and although they can have a prenup, they can also be taken to the cleaners should the marriage not work but the wife can get half of whatever they make after they are married.

        He got the goods when he wanted, how he wanted as much he wanted. Now she has nothing else to offer. He used her for 8 years now she has nothing to show for it. Like the old people use to say, "Wet A@@ and a dry hand". Women stop using your body to get a man money.

        Simon and Paula deserve each other

      Just because a man doesn't want to marry doesn't make him gay or selfish. It would be more selfish of Cowell to go into a marriage he doesn't want and to lead on a perfectly good woman. Some men don't want to marry, some men do, some women don't want to have children, some do. Its not a matter of growing up, its a matter of understanding who you are and what you want.

      He'd better dump her, she looks like a gold-digger. He has too much to lose.
    • Carol A  •  Stuttgart, Arkansas  •  4 months ago
      engaged for two years and not married...sounds like it was never going to happen anyway
    • Katherine  •  Austin, Texas  •  4 months ago
      I've come to realize that not everyone is meant to get married. It's a profound, life changing decision and I hate how our society still puts such pressure on people about it. Some people are just meant to be single...nothing wrong with that. I've told my kids that too...no pressure here!
    • Donna  •  Kernville, California  •  4 months ago
      I don't think Simon Cowell is avoiding marriage - I think he is avoiding divorce. He's worked very hard to get where he is and probably doesn't want his hard-earned money to become community property. Can't say I blame him really since the divorce rate is so high.
    • dollie  •  Southfield, Michigan  •  4 months ago
      She should thank her lucky stars! He would be miserable to live with. She is beautiful. Find someone who really cares
    • Onedar  •  Meriden, Connecticut  •  4 months ago
      He & Paula Abdul should just admit their feelings for each other and get on with it. You can cut the sexual tension with a knife between those two. Sheesh!

      Simon Cowell appears to be a play boy hence getting married will be the last thing on his mind
