CA, Mon. Mar. 22, 2010: Seems American Idol`s most popular judge is set to tie the knot in the Caribbean.
Daily Mail reports indicate Simon Cowell is set to marry Afghan migrant and Idol make-up artist, Mezhgan Hussainy, in St. Barts.
However, Cowell, 50, will have guests picked up in Barbados aboard a yacht named after him and taken to St. Barts for the on board nuptials.
Cowell proposed to 36-year-old Hussainy on Valentine`s Day. Hussainy and her family fled Afghanistan in 1981 because her parents feared the Taliban would take her three brothers into the army, and the family walked for ten days to Pakistan and spent nine months there before receiving permission to move to the U.S. Her mother was a teacher and her dad worked in IT.
Hussainy originally went to school to become a dentist, but her professional interests changed when a makeup artist friend needed her help at a department store event. Although she finished dental school, she got her big break as the makeup artist to actor John O`Hurley on the game show `To Tell The Truth.`
In 2002, she was approached to become the head makeup artist on `Idol,` where she worked specifically with Cowell and Randy Jackson.
She and Cowell`s relationship blossomed following his break-up with model Terri Seymour. Hussainy told UK`s Daily Mail that she is not star-struck by Cowell, adding `his bark is much bigger than his bite.`
