Simon Cowell spotted kissing his new girlfriend

London (ANI): A normally private person, music mogul Simon Cowell is said to have surprised onlookers when he kissed his new girlfriend at the 'Britain's Got Talent' auditions. Cowell, 50, was seen hugging make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy, 36, and kissing her on the lips on February 11, as she sat next to him at the audition at Hammersmith Apollo in West London.

"This is serious. He is head over heels in love. The fact he's happy to show his affection in the most public manner says it all," the Mirror quoted a pal as saying. "She is everything Simon wants in a woman. They are blissfully happy," the pal said.

The pair kissed during a break in rehearsals before Hussainy straightened his tie and patted his back. "Simon doesn't normally show off his girlfriends in public - quite the opposite. He squirrels them away and keeps them out of the limelight," an ITV show source said. "It was a shock to see him kiss her in front of everyone. He certainly wasn't shy in letting people know what he thought," the source added.
