TMZ -- was arrested on felony battery charges and is being held on $52,700 bail.
Cowell and Seymour, who broke up in October after they began dating in 2002, remain on friendly terms.
"It was Terri's idea [to break up], not Simon's," Cowell's rep, Max Clifford told Usmagazine.com last year. "Simon is doing all right, but they were together a long time and so you can understand that it's going to be a strange time."
