Terri Seymour Expecting First Child with Model Boyfriend

You know her as a correspondent with Extra and the ex-girlfriend of former American Idol judge Simon Cowell. Soon you’re going to know Terri Seymour as a mother. The television host announced on Monday that she is expecting her first child with her 24-year-old boyfriend, British model Clark Mallon. The 39-year-old host is very excited about her new role in life.

“I’m extremely excited and really happy to say I’m pregnant. Clark and I are going to be a mummy and daddy,” she announced on the show on Monday. This is a first child for both. The baby is due early in the New Year, and though they have no idea yet what the sex of the baby is, they are very excited to find out soon.

“We were in the car and the doctor called. He was on speaker phone – it was nice because we both got to hear it at the same time – and, of course, I burst into tears. Clark couldn’t believe it,” she said of the couple finding out they are expecting. Of course, Clark is 15 years younger than Seymour, so the shock of becoming a father at 24 might be a bit different for him than the shock of finding out she’s going to become a mother at 39.

The host is famous for dating Simon Cowell for many years, and the two remain very close to one another. Seymour is the godmother to Cowell’s young son, and she says that he’s so excited for her that he already called being the baby’s godfather.

“His reaction was really sweet, extrememly happy for me, then he turned around to me and said, ‘Of course, I obviously have to be the godfather.’ I was like, ‘Okay,’ and he said, ‘I’m serious.’ It kind of makes sense since I’m Eric’s godmother,” she said her relationship with Cowell’s son and his future relationship with her child.
