Even though Simon Cowell’s friend Louis Walsh (and X Factor judge) has confirmed that Simon is engaged to Mezhgan Hussainy I still can’t believe it.  It’s Simon Cowell.  But Louis says:

“I’m very very surprised but I’m delighted he’s got engaged. Mish (Hussainy) is a lovely girl. They’ve been close for a long time but it’s only in the last few months that it’s got serious. She is fantastic for him, very grounding, which is exactly what he needs to keep that ego in check.“

The couple met on the American Idol set seven years ago where she worked as a make-up artist and have been dating for the past six months (picture of her below).  It is reported that Simon proposed to her on Valentine’s Day.  Awww, how romantic! First Russell Brand and now Simon Cowell.   I still don’t know if I believe Simon Cowell is engaged.

Are you surprised by this?
