Cowell tells his ladies: Christmas is cancelled!
FOR years, Simon Cowell has celebrated the festive season in style by frolicking on board a luxury yacht with a string of beautiful ex-girlfriends for company. Photos of him sprawled out on the deck alongside old flames Sinitta, model Jackie St Clair and Mezhgan Hussainy have become a regular Christmas fixture. But this year Simon’s ladies have been dealt a devastating blow after the X Factor tycoon ditched his playboy image and told them: Sorry, Christmas is cancelled.
The exes will be spending the big day without him for he first time in years so that Simon can instead play happy families in the Caribbean with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman, their twoyear-old son Eric, and Adam, Lauren’s ten-year-old son from her marriage to property magnate Andrew Silverman.
It’s a significant moment for Cowell, who had been banned from seeing Adam by his father.
Andrew was once Simon’s best pal, but unsurprisingly their friendship turned sour when he learned that Lauren was carrying Simon’s child.
‘This Christmas is a real turning point for Simon because he has been allowed to spend it with Adam and he is taking it very seriously by cancelling his usual holiday with the harem,’ a source close to him has said.
‘Instead, he is whisking Lauren and the kids off to sail around the Caribbean.’
It is thought that Lauren is particularly pleased that Cowell has decided to ditch his exes. Previously, Cowell has spent Christmas in Barbados before taking a yacht to St Barts.
