Katharine McPhee Boyfriend: Nick Cokas
New York, NY :: 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. More pictures in the gallery!

He is nasty looking. He looks like if he also has an eating disorder. He needs a nose job.
I’m sure people mistake him for her Dad- I can’t imagine finding such an old guy appealing when I was 22. I almost passed my Husb by when I first saw him because of his prematurely gray hair at 29!
Brad Pitt is 41, don’t think all you haters would be all over her if she was with him…….let them be happy together and go get your own lives!
The bottome line is hollywood forgets the age gaps. If they were not "stars" everyone would frown upon a 41 year old who dates a 22 years old. No matter who it is and how you look at it it’s wrong. It is nothing a 22 year old can do for a 41 year old except bare his children and look good on his old azz arm. Amy if he was such a GREAT guy, his great azz who be happily married with a child close to Kat’s age……..
I think all you people should stop worrying about who she’s with and how old he is. If she chooses to be with a 41 yr old so be it! She is an adult… and love has nothing to do with looks or age. Apparently none of you have love in your own lives, so you have to pick apart other peoples love lives…..
I don’t’ care what you read or hear, Nick Cokas is one of the most genuine, passionate and smartest guys there is. He drove Katharine to San Francisco and made her audition for “American Idol”. He believed in her talent and she would still be working in a clothing store in LA if it weren’t for Nick’s commitment, dedication and belief in her talent. It is because of him that she had the courage to audition and move forward through the competition.I personally know Nick and all these negative comments are incredibly mean-spirited and hurtful. Who cares about the age difference? Nick has helped Katharine in so many ways, spiritually (and he is NOT a Scientologist as some comments suggest), personally and creatively.The entertainment business is full of parasites and people that want to exploit and lead young, innocent people to slaughter. Nick is one of the few men that actually is honest, has integrity and is passionate about the art and not about the money. It’s easy to judge from afar, but if you knew this man’s heart, you’d find him to be one of the greatest people you’ve ever met.
I don’t care how well you know him, how intelligent, honest, nice or whatever else he may be! The dude is only fours years (not subtracting the time they’ve already been dating) away from being a pedophile! I hope they haven’t been dating for over four years. I’m his age and I get sick of even "thinking" of dating someone that could be my daughter. That just isn’t right! I don’t see them two being together all that much longer. He did bring her into the spotlight and because of that she’ll have thousands of guys after her. So, I think she’ll soon leave his talentless unattractive azz behind.
I am not a huge fan of Katherine’s but I think it is wrong that so many people are so concerned about who she is dating and how old he is. The age gap should not be that big of a deal. I am 22 myself and dating a guy who is 41. We are together because of the connection we have together and the love we truly share for one another. I think the two of them together is a great thing!!!
They look gr8 together….but come on she’s 22 and he’s 41….whn she’ll be 60 he’ll be 79!!! Not gonna happen!
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.
Green old man. Stupid naive girl. Same old story. Why is SO right when an old man dates a girl, and SO wrong when a woman does the same? What IF Paula dated Kevin chicken little? The world would be stunned and angry!! What a society !!
Kat is yummy!! I dated someone ‘older’ when I was younger and it ended very badly. Now, I feel I wasted my youth with … I hope the same does not happen to Katharine. I would not listen to people telling me it was not-a-good-thing, live and learn - I guess. She is a sweet, talented, and beautiful girl (almost women), I hope she finds the happiness she deserves!
Katherine seems lovely, elegant. If I had a daughter, I would hope she would find a kind, mature man, no matter his age. How long it takes for some men to reach a certain level of maturity is debatable, and from what I’ve experienced, there aren’t many men who’ve achieved that, period, let alone at age 22. My grandfather was 19 yrs older than my g’mother–it’s really a very oldworld type of custom, so I don’t know why anyone would make such a fuss over it, except perhaps for the fact that it’s become a modern stereotype/trophywife thing–which is unfair, really. I wish them continued happiness.
get over it! you don’t have to **** him!
Even though this girl is beautiful and talented, she obviously has many issues. Her relationship with a man old enough to be her father is just one of them. She needs to get herself some professional help. There’s no way a 41 year old man should be dating a 22 year old girl.
Most of these comments are really negative. I’m gonna be positive about Kat but negative about her boyfriend. WHAT IS SHE THINKING!!!!!!!!!! he is so butt ugly!!!! She could have anyone she wants, even celebrities, but no, she chooses this weirdo. I understand he must be nice enough for Kat to like him, but EWWWW!!!!
there happy together so leave them alone. we have no room to critisize them. its not our business. they look happy together and i see them staying togethe. she even said he stayed with me through the toughest time of her life. he helped her alot. i think they’ll stay together. Go Katharine McPhee!
YOU ALL are SOOOOO superficial and SHALLOW!! Oh gosh……those of you who say she has an issue? Who doesn’t have an issue? If you think SHE has issues, obviously you live a very mundane life. 20yrs older? I think that is decent. All guys below 30 are immature, inexperienced, and self absorbed. They don’t have financial stability OR emotional stability. How can Kat receive support from a guy her age? And by the way, Nick is such a sweet guy. He was always in the audience in the AI shows and he looks great! You have only seen him in the pic above and they are relaxing on their day off. Also, who says that a 41 yr old man shouldn’t date a 20 yr old? Give me a break. Tom Cruise, Michael Douglas, and Donald Trump should be sued then. How much older do you think they are than their wives???? Anyone who says older men cannot date or marry younger woman are obviously women who have had their husbands dump them for a younger woman.

Hey guys… Love is Love!
this is for stacy…..i am 23 and make over 100,000 a year. i have 2 kids and a great wife. how can you say all guys under 30 are not financially and emotionally stable? obviously you are living in a different world. most of the people i know that are my age are very mature and probably make more money in a year than you can in 5. i dont care how you look at it is is sick to know that this fine azz girl is laying down with someone older than her dad. Where i come from that is statutory rape and f-ing sick. imagine being 22 and f-ing a guy with a hairy azz back and going bald. ooooohhhhhhh!!!!!
Katharine is so gorgeous!!!! If people are just going to criticize everysingle thang about her than i’m guessin’ u guys r jst jealous! if she’s happy than it’s fine… i mean it’s like her own life… we shouldn’t really criticize on her relationship choices… what if she accidentally bumped into this website and in jst one second several people have already hurt her feelings…
if kat is happy with this guy then thats that theres nothing you can do about it ..shes a beautiful young lady..and i love her smile …She got a wonderful voice…who wouldnt fall for her
