The McBoyfriend is McOld

American Idol season five runner-up Katharine McPhee, 22, has been spotted around SoHo the last few days walking hand in hand with her 41-year-old boyfriend Nick Cokas, who also has a stage career. Nick is originally from San Francisco but currently lives in Los Angeles (like Katharine). He graduated from UCLA and his Broadway credits include Blood Brothers, Guys & Dolls, Mamma Mia and Once Upon a Mattress.

Kat has most likely had some relationship problems with guys her age. Usaully when this happens girls tend to look for older men, without thinking about the problems it creates. Not to mention the wasted time in a relationship that everyone knows is not going to last. The only positive thing about this is the fact that they are not married yet. If they ever get married then I will negativly critique their relationship. The way I see it: he was at the right place at the right time and so happened to say the right thing and the only reason he "begged" her to go to American Idol was to boost his career which has been lackluster at best. Lets see how many gigs he gets now. And, I would love to know when their relationship got started. Was she under 18? Her father was crying like a baby the whole damn time she was singing on T.V., yet he apparently is ok with a guy his own age banging his daughter. Makes no sense...anyway, thats my take.
