Simon Cowell's Gal Says They're Engaged

By PopEater Staff Posted Feb 26th 2010 10:06AM

The sweet sound of wedding bells is going to be ringing for music mogul and 'American Idol' meanie Simon Cowell, as he and girlfriend Mezhgan Hussainy are engaged. The word comes straight from the mouth of Hussainy, who told RadarOnline.com's David Perel about the engagement exclusively. The 36-year-old Hussainy and Cowell, 50, have dodged engagement rumors for weeks. Congrats, you crazy kids! Exclusive details after the jump!

Speaking to PopEater exclusively, Radar's David Perel says, "Mezhgan is bursting with joy over the engagement and it's obvious how happy she and Simon are together."

According to the Radar report, Hussainy "was all smiles as she told RadarOnline.com exclusively that the couple, who are living together, are officially engaged."

Hussainy, the head make-up artist on 'Idol,' met Cowell on set years ago, and the sparks began to fly several months ago. While a wedding date hasn't been announced, Radar hints at a fast walk to the altar, saying you shouldn't "put off shopping for their wedding gift too long."

Let's just hope they save their honeymoon for when 'Idol' and 'X Factor' aren't taping.

Earlier this week, PopEater's Rob Shuter reported that a major obstacle in a possible Cowell wedding was that he wouldn't tie the knot without an iron-clad pre-nup to protect his nearly $200 million fortune.

Just last week, Cowell denied being engaged.

"When I asked him last Wednesday, when he and Mezhgan were about to fly back to L.A., I said, 'Are you engaged?' His answer was, 'Max, I'm not engaged.' That was last Wednesday," his agent, Max Clifford, told PEOPLE.

What about the Brittish girl Terri? We love her as a reporter and thinks she seems so sweet. Did he dump her for this new person? I hope not!

CONGRATS Simon on being in engaged if true.

By Hassion

Simon is as gay as his "boy toy" Ryan Seacrest. Another FairyLand cover up. Simon is an old, worn out has been. Guess Ryan turned him down for marriage. lol ... Ellen is more of a man that Simon could ever be!

My thoughts exactly.

By Sultry

I thought Simon and his girlfriend had worked out the kinks in their relationship. Oh well, It's his choice but I like the other girl better with him. Simon! You better get your old girlfriend back, she was with you on the ride up. This new one looks like she is going to take you for a ride.

Poor Gal, It will never last! & yes, Ellen should be hated! she was wearing a shirt & tie last nite, Damn Puke!

Why is it whenever a celebrity announces an engagement the gossips have to beat them down????? Let people have a life and worry about the real tough times that are out there....Simon will get by JUST FINE ...with or without a wife........!!!!!! Where is Paula? Waiting to make a little money herself with Simons new show . At least Simon will share the wealth and help the economy especially the jewelers!!! Good Luck to all

By Cindy

We always believed Simon was married to Adam Lambert! Even Adam is more man that Simon could ever be. Well, for that matter, so is Ellen.

How do you know so much about him Maren and why do you care? You act like someone is personally attacking you. How bizzare.

By Jessica

So, the Queen of England is getting married. Simon, what is your husband's name? Will you wear the cheap jewelry that Randy wears? Will you borrow a man's wardrobe from Ellen? Will you wear one of Paul's ugly outfits? Nothing we don't like Kara so we have to skip her. lol

Judges like critics are easy to find. Not a hard gig to criticize someone else and what they try to bring to life's table. If there is a God I wonder how Simon will be judged? By the way haters...get off Ellen please.

By Louis

Now he can finally wave goodbye to some of his money.

Thank you...thank you...thank you!

By jy

Who cares what Ellen wears? Clothes aren't everything. She is a lot of fun and helps a lot of people. I don't care what you haters say about her or gays. Gays are some of the best people in the world. I will always be a fan of hers and I am a gay rights advocate. And no I'm not gay but if I was who cares! Only haters and posers like Carrie Prejean. I think Simon is just jealous of Ellen's wife.

By rfhendricks

She has my deepest sympathy marrying that man!

By vickie

lauren...then all of america should not be voting ..because they are ,in the end, the ones who pick the winner....thats what the show is about ...ordinary americans picking the winner...i don't know much about music ,either....but I know what i like ....and thats all ellen needs to do....she can say anything she wants ...in the end ...we vote...
