Music mogul Simon Cowell has confirmed he is dating Carmen Electra following months of speculation about their relationship.

The X Factor boss has been spotted on numerous outings with the glamorous actress/model since September and Electra has made no secret of her affection for Cowell, telling Access Hollywood last month, "We worked together on Britain's Got Talent... I really like him. I think he's really cool. Now, obviously he's in town (Los Angeles) with The X Factor and we've started to hang out and we've become friends. I think he's a great guy."

Cowell has now opened up about their budding romance during an interview with radio host Ryan Seacrest.

The American Idol presenter asked his former co-star about his girlfriend, and Cowell jokingly responded, "Which one?" before admitting he has "been on some dates" with Electra.

He adds, "She's not my girlfriend. We're people who date. She's adorable, isn't she?"

Cowell was previously engaged to make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy but the pair split earlier this year while Electra has been married to basketball star Dennis Rodman and rocker Dave Navarro.
