But is he quitting to marry his longtime love? Star Magazine reports at a Mother’s Day brunch at The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills on May 13, Simon’s mom, Julie, was overheard talking marriage. “Simon just nodded in agreement and smiled,” an eyewitness says. Simon finally said, “She’s the one! I want to spend forever with her. We’ll [get married] when the time is right.”

The National Enquirer has more. They report that on the April 9 results show - after Lakisha was voted off - the singer said she would like to kiss Simon again. Ryan joked she’d better be careful because Simon’s girlfriend was in the audience. (Ryan may have actually said fiancée).

Then as the cameras focused on Seymour, 33, Ryan gave her a shout out. “Hey, Terri, congratulations on everything,” Seacrest said cryptically, without further explanation. "At that point, Simon and Terri thought their engagement surprise had been spoiled by Ryan,” revealed an “Idol” insider. “Only a handful of people at ‘Idol’ knew about the engagement and Simon swore everyone to secrecy until he’d had a chance to break the big news first.”
