Simon Cowell is finally settling down.
The feisty American Idol judge, 50, is engaged to makeup artist Mezhgan Hussainy, multiple insiders confirm to UsMagazine.com. When approached for comment, Cowell's rep told Us, "Simon does not discuss his private life."
Hussainy also confirmed the news to RadarOnline.com earlier Friday.

Cowell recently dodged engagement rumors.
"I spoke to Simon in London yesterday afternoon, just before he took his flight back to LA," his longtime publicist and close friend Max Clifford told Us Feb. 18. "I asked him: 'Look, are you engaged? Is it true?,' and he said, 'No! No. I'm not engaged.'"

But Clifford told Us Cowell and Hussainy, 36, were "an item" and were "happy."
Cowell brought Hussainy as his date to his 50th birthday party in London last October -- weeks after splitting from longtime girlfriend Terri Seymour, according to British reports.

He even gushed about the Afghanistan-born Hussainy during a recent television interview with Piers Morgan.
"I'm smitten with Mezghan, I think she's the one," he said. "She's very special ... You know when you've found somebody very special."

He also said he is open to parenthood. "I think I need to have little Simons around," he remarked.
In January, Cowell - who raked in $75 million last year, making him Forbes' top earning man on prime-time U.S. television -- announced he is leaving Idol to launch a U.S. Version of his hit British singing show The X-Factor in 2011.

87Great for him , :) LOL
She is not young army candy, the other one was. This one was married to another man for 8 years, then I have seen her ad on some rich man wanted ads on internet dating sites. Gold digger, well there is a succer born every minute :)
Grosss!
CONGRATS...TO THE BOTH OF YOU...
whiteM loves AsianF Some people do live to be 100 or more though you are right that most don't. But we had a couple in our family that were over 100 when they died.
Great points Chris. When I see it I'll believe it!
@liza "obvious midlife crisis". Learn math. Humans dont live to 100.
@"terri fan" ... No offense to you black chicks...but you have your work cut out for you just getting black guys to marry black chicks. 71% of black children are being born in fatherless homes according to the government. That is a CRISIS to any educated eye. You have far bigger problems elsewhere. Don't worry about simon and his babes (whatever their races). Anyways.... I just read that simon was DUMPED by her. How does a man marry someone who dumped him? Put down that black history book a second and read a book on logic.
White....females. Do you realize your entire existence is spent bashing older white males... one of the first males on earth to treat women as equals? What a great reward the old white male coots got for all their efforts of equating women in the 60's. Hahah. I can see why arabic males are in no real rush to become that same sucker. As for "erectile dysfunction". Only poor males and middle class males get that. Successful males can afford the best ED treatment on earth. Money can't buy love but it can buy lovemaking something your poor guys wont be able to afford in 20 years. Thats another reason why chicks should marry rich! When I get old..... the first white chick who calls me gross for having a young asian second wife is getting pushed down a flight of stairs. (by her hopefully. I'm non violent).
errm she is a woman on color, she is not white or are you blind..... i hope they last,,, i love simon cowell

How dare he not marry a black or half black woman. I hope his balls fall off
He's so ugly and so in love with himself. Probably has erectile dsfyunction as well. Sad old man.
I say he's facing a very obvious mid life crisis. He will get what's coming to him someday...that wicked man.
They deserve each other.....what a pair of sickos.
Does it matter what color or race she is? What I'm saying is it won't last, and I think all women should be insulted that he strung Terri along until this woman came along. It's as if Terri wasn't good enough. He treats women like dogs.
If she was a strong independent woman she wouldn't marry that arse.
From one anti idiot to another anti idiot. Please read the History of the Afghani people. All are not aboriginal people. Bring out your history books.
From on anti idiot to another. Mezhgan Hussainy is a White Women. Read your Black History Books
