Simon Cowell, 47, has reportedly asked his girlfriend of four and a half years, Terri Seymour, 33, if she would do him the honor of being his wife. They’ve tried to keep the news under wraps, but on the April 9th Idol results show Ryan Seacrest made a reference to it that almost blew their secret:
Cowell, 47, and Terri Seymour - his live-in girlfriend for the past 4 1/2 years - have remained mum on their recent engagement, but “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest almost blurted out the tightly held secret.
On the April 9 results show - after LaKisha was voted off - the singer said she would like to kiss Simon again. Ryan joked she’d better be careful because Simon’s girlfriend was in the audience.
Then as the camera focused on Seymour, 33, Ryan gave her a shout out.
“Hey, Terri, congratulations on everything,” Seacrest said cryptically, without further explanation.
“At that point, Simon and Terri thought their engagement surprise had been spoiled by Ryan,” revealed an “Idol” insider.
“Only a handful of people at ‘Idol’ knew about the engagement, and Simon swore everyone to secrecy until he’d had a chance to break the big news first.”
