Simon Cowell has explained the reasons behind his recent split from Terri Seymour. "She wants a different path in life, and I totally respect her for it," he told Showbiz Spy. "We will be the best of mates, but I think in relationships, you have to be totally honest. I have always been and I know Terri knows that. Bottom line is I am married to my job. When people moan about being a celebrity, I think 'Oh please, sort yourself out — it’s the greatest job in the world.' I wake up daily thanking my lucky stars, but to throw marriage into that mix is not right. I have seen too many celebrity marriages that on paper make a great mix, fall apart through ego and just plain celebrity madness."
