Simon Cowell's half-sister
Simon has a half-sister called June from his father's first marriage, however, the siblings are seldom seen together. She was four when her parents divorced.
In 2009, June, who has two daughters, Luisa and Maria del Mar, spoke to The Mail about her relationship with her brother.
She said about Simon's lifestyle: "He is busy in a way that even very wealthy people with high-flying careers are not. Simon is lovely, very family-orientated and I know he likes nothing better than to go home to his mum for a roast dinner. It is hard not to remember him as the cheeky, boisterous and mischievous little boy he once was.
"But these days it seems difficult for even family like myself to get to speak to him," she added, commenting that his busy lifestyle means it is hard to get hold of him.
The article also revealed that June is tall at 5 foot 10 inches, previously modelled and lived in Spain before getting divorced.
