Simon & Terri Set the Record Straight

In the first and only television interview about their breakup, Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour come to "Extra" to set the record straight.

When asked why their relationship ended, the "American Idol" judge replied, "Because Terri decided to dump me... you sent me a text." Seymour responded, "I didn't dump you! Just time -- we had a great six years and we're the best of friends."

Simon revealed that he and Terri still talk every day. "I do call Terri first, when I've got an issue or I'm moaning about something, or I want to bounce an idea off," Simon confesses. Seymour adds, "We do speak more now on the phone all the time. It's true."

Rumors ran rampant that Simon gave Terri a 5 million pound ($9 million U.S.) parting gift -- reports that were laughed off by the former couple. "That is actually not a true story. If anything, I should be getting the money," Cowell joked. "Rumors come around, people just read things, and then they create a story. But no, there was no 5 million pounds."

I find the negative comments above funny-You took the time to post something…to say “who Cares”????
Ar any rate, I care. They are both cute and funny and I love Simon.

Who really cares? They both deserve to go their separate ways from each other.
The only thing they had in common was the way they talk.

Why is this sight seem to hang up the comments when submitted - must be fixed - only those know for sure as they make money from the sights entries whenever an individual makes one.

August 2008 out of Boston airport -

Simon he is sensational - guess who I am speaking of.

And we outsiders seem to believe the answer is YES 50,000,000 dollars in asset value is thanks to you. That is about Terri and that dollar amount cash value $5,000,000. One doesn’t know if the gal would of got such recognition in the past several years having you as the insight. Good Luck with the future of each.

You still haven’t given a reason for the breakup. Why have the interview?

Why did she even put him up to this when she broke up with him in the first place? To prove that they’re friends? Or to add insult to injury? This is just stupid

It’s so nice to know that they are still friends, and can joke with each other about this. I saw the preview Friday night, and even though the breakup is sad, this is going to be a fun interview. I can’t wait to see it!!
