Many brave women have tried, and many brave women have subsequently failed in trying to get Simon Cowell to commit to them. Well, that is until now…

The rumour mill has been in full swing with gossip that stunning make up artist Mezghan Hussainy has finally managed to get commitment phobe Simon to make an honest woman of her.

Mezghan has been seen flaunting what looks suspiciously like an engagement ring, and gossips have been whispering that the pair will soon be making an announcement that they’re going to tie the knot.

Insiders have allegedly said that turning 50 made Mr Cowell take a serious look at his life, and it’s even been suggested that he’s ready to have kids!!

Whilst the thought of loads of miniature Simon Cowells running about is quite a scary one, at least the future is looking bright for one X Factor judge- in stark contrast to Cheryl Cole’s future which may well involve a divorce……….
