Prenup delays Simon Cowell's wedding?

It has been alleged that a prenuptial agreement may be one of the factors in the delay of Simon Cowell's wedding to fiancée Mezhgan Hussainy.

The 50-year-old star announced the pair's engagement in March but no wedding date has yet been announced.

A source told Now: "Simon's a multimillionaire and he isn't going to tie his assets to any woman without some legal protection. So a prenup's in the works - and expect it to be the size of a phone book. He's very savvy, but it has no bearing on his feelings for her."

The insider added: "The prenup's nowhere near finalised, but it's likely to be as iron-clad as Simon can get it. Not that Mezhgan will walk away with nothing should they split. She'll be taken care of and will never have to worry about money again.

"A timeline's likely to be attached. So if they marry and split within the first year, she won't get much. After five years, she'll probably get a lump sum. But no-one knows amounts yet. After ten years, she'd get a very significant payout. 
If she cheats on Simon, she gets nothing. Infidelity's 
a deal breaker."

When Cowell split up with Terri Seymour in 2008, he reportedly gave her more than £6m as a parting gift.
