CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric has been dating 33-year-old entrepreneur Brooks Perlin for six months now. Apparently the seventeen year age gap between her and Perlin, doesn’t bother her one bit!
According to People Magazine:
…Katie Couric, 50, isn’t worried about the younger-man thing. Since that first date, the pair have shared nights out at Manhattan’s Gramercy Hotel’s Rose Bar and the “21″ Club, attended the Super Bowl in Miami and gone skiing in Sun Valley, where they stayed at the home of casino mogul Steve Wynn.
“Perlin is a nice guy,” says Couric’s friend. “He’s extremely smart. He’s honest. He doesn’t play games. He’s sweet. Normal. Really grounded. It’s a drama-free relationship.”
Adds the pal: “They do the same things any new couple would do. They sometimes stay in and watch movies. They go on trips. … They spend a lot of time together, considering how busy they both are. They seem comfortable with each other, she’s a very young 50. She’s playful. She’s cute. She’s down-to-earth. And he’s mature. They seem happy.”
Good for Couric I say. I mean, I certainly can’t wait until I am old enough to start acting like a cougar and dating the younger men like it ain’t no thang!!!
If he’s thirty-three, a seventeen year difference doesn’t seem so bad. he’s old enough to know what he wants. plus Katie’s nothing to frown at.
This is old news, isn’t it? I think he’s 35 and she’s 52 now…
