Simon Cowell to marry Mezhgan Hussainy ‘in Venice later this year’

X Factor judge Simon Cowell will marry fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy in Italy later this year, according to US reports.

The 51-year-old music mogul proposed to make-up artist Hussainy, 36, earlier this year and reports now say the ceremony is set for the spring and will take place in Venice.

A source said to website BettyConfidential: “It is a perfect time of year for Simon to be able to enjoy his wedding, honeymoon and time off as a newlywed before he starts devoting his schedule to The X Factor.”

The couple live together in LA but reports claim they ruled out marrying there or Hussainy’s native Afghanistan. They then thought about Rome before eventually deciding on Venice.

The source added: “It’s perfect. It’s romantic and historical.”
