Terri Seymour Confronts Simon Cowell  7/30/06L

Simon Cowell's long-term partner Terri Seymour flew to London on Thursday (27JUL06) to confront the American Idol judge about a newspaper's claims he has been cheating on her with a 21-year-old model.

Cowell has slammed reports he had an affair with Jasmine Lennard and insists that the two are just friends.

According to US publication In Touch, Seymour arrived at Heathrow Airport and met Cowell in the airport's Starbucks coffee shop.

A source close to Cowell tells the magazine, "It's unusual for Simon to pick her up personally from the airport - he usually goes everywhere by chauffeur, but decided this time he needed to.

"They were arguing in the coffee shop and Terri looked close to tears."

The couple then headed to Cowell's West London home.

Lennard has also denied claims of an affair after being photographed leaving Cowell's home late at night saying, "Simon is a good friend. We were discussing work."
