Looks like the guy we all love to hate just gained another hater. American Idol judge Simon Cowell has split up with former model and British television presenter girlfriend Teri Seymour.

Cowell, 48, and Seymour, 34, first met 16 years ago and have been dating since 2002. The breakup was first reported by the Daily Mirror and was confirmed to People magazine by Cowell’s representative.

“Terri phoned Simon and finished it in September, about six weeks ago,” Cowell’s publicist Max Clifford said. “They are going to remain close friends. Simon thinks the world of Terri and that isn’t going to change. He also understands her reason for ending it. … In the past, Terri has said that she wants kids, but that just isn’t Simon. Nobody else is involved, certainly not on Simon’s side.”

I wonder if he was half as critical of her as he was the contestants.
