The music mogul behind huge successes such as American Idol and X Factor has gone on the record saying that he pays his ex-girlfriends to not speak to the press.

Simon Cowell is constantly in the spotlight but when it comes to his personal life he tries to keep as much of it private as possible. Numerous girlfriends have cycled through and he makes sure most details of the relationship stay confidential.

Although the relationship may have ended, Cowell agrees to pay his exes a certain amount of money, an unofficial alimony, in order for specific things in his personal life to not become public knowledge.

Simon categorizes this payment as a way of helping them sustain their lifestyle that they became comfortable with while they were together. He says that it isn’t fair to let them live a certain way and then, just because the relationship didn’t work, cut them off completely.
