After his terrifying accident, Simon Cowell’s ex Terri Seymour joins forces with Lauren in a show of support
He used to be notorious for his harem of exes, and last week Simon Cowell’s girl gang showed they were as united as ever when his partner Lauren Silverman hit the beach with his ex Terri Seymour. The pair took their children Eric, six, and Coco, five, for a play on the LA shoreline, while Simon continues to recover after breaking his back in a bike accident.
As they chatted and watched their children splash in the sea, Lauren, who’s 43, and Terri looked incredibly at ease. TV presenter Terri dated Simon from 2002 to 2008, and has remained part of his clique of ex-lovers ever since. Other exes he remains close to include Jackie St Clair, Sinitta and former fiancée Mezhgan Hussainy.
SUPPORTIVE
Sinitta, who is often regarded as the ‘Queen Bee’ of the harem since dating him in the 80s, has previously revealed that the women in Simon’s life are there to support him, not vie for his attention. “We’re not all sleeping with him. It’s as bad as calling us his b*****s. The girls are all there with partners or as friends,” she said.
The popstar, 51, has also divulged how the ladies often cheer Simon up by playing board games and having movie nights – something he’ll surely appreciate as he recovers from his injuries. He broke three vertebrae in the horrendous accident at his Malibu home, and needed a six-hour operation to repair his spine. It’s also said he narrowly avoided being paralysed. Although Simon’s outings with his girl gang appeared to simmer down after he and Lauren welcomed Eric in 2014, he’s proven that he’s still on good terms with them.
LOYAL
He’s since had Sinitta join him on The X Factor, as well as being godfather to her children, and often gives Terri, 48, interviews on her US show, Extra. In March, he and Lauren even held an extravagant party for her daughter Coco, which led to Terri thanking the couple for throwing “the cutest birthday lunch” in a post on Instagram.
And as Sinitta told Closer, the 60-year-old TV mogul is a very reliable friend. “Simon is a really, really loyal friend,” she said. “We’ve been friends for decades and he’s still exactly the same person – the same sense of humour and everything. He didn’t change with fame.”
