Simon Cowell's publicist says the British television personality is not engaged to "American Idol" makeup artist Mezhgan Hussainy, contrary to online reports.

The couple have been dating since last fall. Although media reports this week claimed Cowell had proposed to Hussainy, his longtime publicist Max Clifford told UsMagazine.com it isn't true.
"I spoke to Simon in London (Wednesday) afternoon, just before he took his flight back to Los Angeles," Clifford said Thursday.
"I asked him: 'Look, are you engaged? Is it true?' And he said: 'No! No. I'm not engaged.' ... Yes, they are an item. Yes, they're happy. But they're not engaged. That's straight from Simon's mouth."
