Simon Cowell is talking about his split with Terri Seymour.

In the first and only television interview about their break-up, Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour come to “Extra” to set the record straight.

When asked why, Cowell replies, “Because Terri decided to dump me…You sent me a text.” Seymour responds, “I didn’t dump you...Just time. We had a great six years and we’re the best of friends.”

Cowell reveals he and Seymour still talk every day. “I do call Terri, first, when I’ve got an issue or I’m moaning about something, or I want to bounce an idea off.”  Seymour adds, “We do speak more now on the phone all the time. It’s true.”

Cowell clears up the rumor that he gave Seymour a 5 million pound ($9 million US) parting gift.

“That is actually not a true story. If anything I should be getting the money,” Cowell laughs. “Rumors come around, just people read things, then they create a story. But no, there was no 5 million pounds, no.”

“Extra’s” full interview with Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour airs Monday, November 17th.
