Posted: 6th November, 2008

Simon Cowell has opened up about his recent split from his girlfriend of six years Terri Seymour.

The X Factor judge says he is ‘married to his job’ and never wanted to settle down and start a family, unlike Terri.

‘She wants a different path in life, and I totally respect her for it,’ said Simon to Fox news.

‘I have never ever said that I want children or marriage. I know some people find it hard to fathom, but it’s me, it’s who I am.

‘Bottom line is I am married to my job. When people moan about being a celebrity, I think ‘Oh please,’ sort yourself out – it’s the greatest job in the world’.

The music mogul also insists the split was amicable, adding: ‘There is no one new in my life. I can honestly say some of my best friends are girls, but we’re not dating, and that is that. Forget any lurid tabloid headlines. Myself and Terri will remain firm friends. We’re grown ups’
