Simon Cowell, known for maintaining friendships with his former partners, now resides in close proximity to his ex-girlfriend, Jackie St Clair, in the Cotswolds. The renowned music mogul, engaged to Lauren Silverman, finds himself living near the former Page Three model, whom he dated over four decades ago. Sources reveal that Jackie’s residence, which is larger than Simon’s, is positioned next to his property, leading to a subtle display of one-upmanship.
This situation marks a reunion of sorts, as Simon and Jackie had a brief romance in the 1970s and have managed to remain on friendly terms over the years, even vacationing together. Notably, this isn’t the first instance of the former couple living in close proximity, as their previous homes in London’s Holland Park were situated mere steps away from each other.
Jackie’s recent relocation is expected to stir up some attention, given her alleged past conflicts with Simon’s close friend and ex-partner, Sinitta. Reports suggest that tensions arose in 2010 when Sinitta accused Jackie of spreading false information regarding Simon’s relationship status at the time. The situation escalated in 2023 when Sinitta was reportedly denied entry to Jackie’s event due to bringing her dog along, causing an uncomfortable moment for all involved.
In 2021, Simon made the move to the Cotswolds, joining a roster of celebrities like the Beckhams and Ellen DeGeneres in the area. News of Jackie’s relocation follows Simon’s recent plans to construct a party barn on his estate, described as a modest addition in terms of size but equivalent to the average new-build house in the UK.
When approached for comment, Simon’s spokesperson declined to provide a statement.
