Washington
(ANI):
While
couples
usually
part
ways
on
a
bad
note,
X
Factor
judge
Simon
Cowell's
break
up
has
been
a
bit
different,
he
has
reportedly
given
9
million
dollars
cash
as
a
parting
gift
to
ex-girlfriend
Terri
Seymour.
In
an
interview
with
Life
&
Style
magazine,
a
friend
close
to
both
Cowell
and
Seymour
has
said
that
the
British
music
mogul
has
ended
his
six-year
romance
with
the
seal
of
a
'parting
cash
handover'.
According
to
reports,
the
American
Idol
judge
has
reportedly
given
Seymour
5
million
dollars
in
cash
and
an
extra
4
million
dollars
to
buy
a
home
in
Beverly
Hills.
"Terri
phoned
Simon
about
six
weeks
ago
and
finished
it.
Simon
thinks
the
world
of
Terri,
and
that
isn?t
going
to
change.
He
also
understands
her
reason
for
ending
it," Contactmusic
quoted
the
source
as
saying.
It
is
being
widely
speculated
that
34-year-old
Seymour
broke
up
on
the
phone
because
she
wanted
to
marry
and
start
a
family,
while
Cowell
didn't
want
to
tie
himself
down.
He
recently
said:
"I
don't
want
to
marry
anyone,
because
whoever
marries
me
will
end
up
hating
me."
