Your
probably best remember Katharine McPhee from American Idol, where the fifth
season contestant was beat out by Taylor Hicks in the finale. From there, she
had a role in The House Bunny, opposite Anna Farris, and was recently seen in
Smash, because duh, the girl can clearly sing. Two studio albums later, now
she's starring in CBS's upcoming Scorpion. But in between all of this and her
continuing rising star, McPhee is going through a divorce. She's been married
to Nick Cokas, a producer, for the past six years, but the two of them are in
the middle of a messy he-said, she-kissed situation.
Let's go
back to 2007, when McPhee's Stuff magazine cover story hit newsstands and in
her feature she said, "It's OK [to date older guys]. I gravitated towards
them, and I love them. They're just wiser, and they're less about themselves
and more about you." Fast forward a year and she, then 23, and Cokas, 42,
were married. For the most part, the couple and their marital bliss flew under
the radar. Then she went on to star in Smash.
Alright,
nothing too revolutionary to report there. Smash came, it sang, and it was
canceled. But in October 2013, McPhee was spotted kissing Michael Morris, one
of the show's directors, by TMZ. That's where things got interesting. Not only
was McPhee still married to Cokas, but Morris wasn't exactly unattached,
either. Morris is married to actress Mary McCormack and they have three
daughters together.
As reported
by TMZ, McPhee claimed that she and Cokas were separated at the time and had
been since March 2013. Cokas, however, said that they were still together at he
time of her affair and didn't separate until May 2014. Since all of this
happened, Morris and McCormack have reportedly reconciled. McPhee and Cokas?
Not so much.
On May 22 of
this past year, McPhee filed for divorce from Cockas. Their actual separation
date is important for their divorce proceedings, considering that according to
TMZ, Cockas is seeking spousal support from McPhee. Whether or not she had an
affair could have an impact on the proceedings.
But the
story doesn't end there. McPhee and Morris might be over, and her marriage to
Cokas might be over, but things appear to be heating up on the set of Scorpion.
McPhee has been spotted cozying up to her co-star, Elyes Gabel. Hopefully, this
pair can keep things low-key as McPhee deals with all of this very public
divorce drama.
