Why didn't Simba know of Kovu?

I just realized there's a bit of Zira and Simba's conversation that doesn't seem to make sense to me. It seems as if it is the first time Simba meets Kovu because of Zira's line:
"Haven't you met my son, Kovu? He was hand chosen by Scar to follow in his pawprints and become king."
And Simba seems visibly angry, but why wouldn't he when there was right in front of him some random cub that Scar chose to be king? Because of his reaction it's easy to tell that it is indeed the first time he's ever met and heard of Kovu. But then Zira mentions something that doesn't sound right:
"Kovu was the last born before YOU exiled us to the Outlands."
If Kovu was born BEFORE being exiled to the Outlands, that means he was born in the Pridelands, and Kovu lived in the Pridelands when Zira was still part of Simba's pride. So if that's the case why didn't Simba know of Kovu? You'd think he'd at least be aware of Scar's former mate having another cub no?
I just thought it was a little odd. What do you guys think?
