Singer Sinitta has revealed she aborted the baby she was expecting with music mogul Simon Cowell.

Cowell’s ex-girlfriend opened up about the termination back in 2009 but it’s only now that the singer has named him as the father of her unborn baby.

According to the Daily Mirror, Sinitta answered "yes" when she was asked if Simon was the father.

"I know the curse has been lifted because I have been blessed with children and now Simon is too, plus God forgives” she said.

"I don't think there was ever a curse really - I was just talking about my thoughts at the time."

Sinitta and Cowell dated on and off during a 20-year period.

An insider claimed that it’s “emotional time for her.”

"It is an emotional time for her. She is happy for Simon about him becoming a father but was disappointed he did not confide in her earlier about Lauren and their relationship.”

"They are very close and always will be. They could have been parents together once and there is a bond between them.”

"Sinitta will always have huge affection for Simon. They grew up together and are friends for life. You can understand why this is such a difficult time for her."
