$9 Million Parting Gifts

Terri Seymour Paid For Break-Up With Simon Cowell

— November 6, 2008 — Celebs
Imagine dumping a boyfriend over the phone and getting $9 Million for it? That is what Terri Seymour is getting from long term boyfriend Simon Cowell as a parting gift.

Terri Seymour, a British TV presenter and actress recently broke up with the popular American Idol and X-Factor judge that everyone loves to hate after six years of dating. The PR camps of both Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour confirm the split as amicable.

According to Life & Style, Simon Cowell has given Terri Seymour $5 million cash and $4.6 to buy a Beverly Hills home as a goodbye gift.

I applaud Simon for being generous and not vindictive as most boyfriends end up after a break up. If you have money, why not share it with those you care about, even if it means an ex-girlfriend. As for the reason of the split, it’s because he doesn’t want to be tied down in a marriage and Terri is set on starting a family.
