Sinitta has revealed that she and Simon Cowell went through the 'difficult' and 'devastating' abortion process together.
Stories have been circulating that the singer aborted the baby behind Cowell's back, but she insists that he was by her side as they made that decision.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper Sinitta said: "Simon was very concerned and by my side. It was upsetting and it was something very difficult that we dealt with together.
"It's such a heartbreaking thing to go through. It was devastating for both of us."
The story surfaced after it was revealed that Cowell was to become father for the first time with lover Sarah Silverman.
But Sinitta says that the abortion is something that she and Cowell rarely talked about.
"It's not something Simon and I talked about a lot. I got a puppy. It sounds weird, but that helped me get over it
"I have always admitted I wanted to marry him and have children with him -- not just because I love him, but because I thought I would be good for him."
This will be the first child for Cowell, while Sinitta has two adopted children with her ex-husband Andy Willner.
