Simon Cowell will never marry his girlfriend Terri Seymour, says former love Sinitta.

Sinitta - who was signed as a recording artist by Simon at the age of 14 and dated him in the 80s - can't imagine the outspoken star ever tying the knot and claims Simon has told her he isn't willing to wed Terri.

She told Britain's New magazine: "Simon said he never wants to get married - he actually told me that."

Simon - who has been dating TV presenter Terri for almost five years - previously labelled marriage as "a ridiculous contract".

The 48-year-old music mogul said: "Marriage is the most ridiculous contract in the world. It's just crazy. Without any legal advice you sign this binding contract and you are not sure where you are going to be in 10 years' time.

"Marriage is not for me. It just feels really out of date. When you've worked hard for your money, you've got to look after yourself."

In July 2006, British model Jasmine Lennard, 21, was seen leaving Simon's house after reportedly spending the night with him while Terri was away.

Both Simon and Jasmine denied they were ever romantically linked.

Simon's fellow 'American Idol' judge Paula Abdul has also previously spoken out about his inability to settle down.

She joked: "Simon is an egomaniac. He's the only man I know who screams his own name when having sex. And his idea of foreplay is staring at himself in the mirror."
