Simon Cowell ‘not engaged to makeup artist’

WASHINGTON - Simon Cowell has dismissed reports of engagement with American Idol makeup artist Mezhgan Hussainy.

The TV mogul’s publicist Max Clifford said though the two have been seeing each other they have not got engaged yet.

“I spoke to Simon in London yesterday afternoon, just before he took his flight back to LA. I asked him: ‘Look, are you engaged? Is it true?,’ and he said, ‘No! No. I’m not engaged,’” Us magazine quoted Clifford as saying.

He added: “Yes, they are they an item. Yes, they’re happy. But they’re not engaged. That’s straight from Simon’s mouth.”

Cowell recently expressed his love for Hussainy in a British TV appearance.

He said: “She’s the one…She’s very special.” (ANI)
