Report: Katharine McPhee and Nick Cokas to get married in February


 
By Christopher Rocchio, 10/25/2007

Katharine McPhee will reportedly be hearing Greek wedding bells in a few months.

The American Idol fifth-season runner-up and Nick Cokas, her 42 year-old alleged fiance, are planning to wed in February at a Beverly Hills, CA estate, according to a report in Us Weekly's October 29 issue.

"There will be many Greek elements," a "pal" of the couple told Us.  "She calls him her 'little Greek god.'"

Cokas reportedly proposed marriage to the 23-year-old former Idol finalist with a pink and yellow engagement ring last spring, however the pair have allegedly kept the pending nuptials hush-hush so she could focus on her career.

"They've actually been engaged since March but kept it a secret," a source previously told Us in the magazine's October 15 issue.  "Her family wants Katharine to focus on her career and not get sidetracked."

If true, the plan seems to have worked -- McPhee is currently involved with three films: the comedy  I Know What Boys Like as well as independent films The Last Caller and Success.

Due to her hectic schedule, McPhee has also reportedly enlisted the help of a wedding planner for the ceremony, according to Us.

"She's not stressed at all," another source told Us about McPhee's demeanor.

Hmmmm..... If this and the time frame prove to be true, 11 months "focusing" on her career doesn't seem very long in my book. 2-3 years, yes; 11 months, no.... She's barely got her feet wet yet. Oh, well. I hope it works out OK and she and her alleged fiance' are happy..

Oh well, other than the time involved with getting the wedding planned, whether she and Nick are dating or married shouldn't really interfere with her career. Look at Avril Lavigne, who got married even younger than Kat. It hasn't hurt her career any and Nick has been so supportive of Kat through AI and her eating disorder that I'd expect him to continue to be that way for the sake of Kat's career. Unless Kat starts popping out little ones right away I expect she's going to keep just as busy after the wedding as she is now. I'm just happy that she's found someone who is always so there for her.

Wondering why we haven't heard anything about this usually happy news from Kat herself


We are definitely working together -- working on a record together. She sings so magnificently, it's just amazing -David Foster-

I didn't say it would hurt her career, it's just when I heard that she would be focusing on her career for awhile, I thought it would be for longer than 11 months.

When I first got into the business, I didn't think about anything else for about 5 years, but that was me.... I just know it is very hard to give 100 percent to a spouse and a beginning career.  One will ultimately suffer somewhat, no matter what the intentions are.  There is a big difference in being engaged to "being married".  And with the added pressures of being a celebrity, it is going to be TOUGH for awhile for both of them.  I could sugar-coat the whole thing and say..."Oh, I am so happy for them...." But I know the reality..... and it isn't going to be a bed of roses, no matter how nice a people they may be.

The thing is, Nick seems EXTREMELY supportive and appears to travel with her an awful lot. He seems to have put her career above his, based on how often I see him traveling with her while she's working. So, hopefully they won't be separated as much as some celebrity couples are.

I dunno. Sometimes the last person you want around while you are working is your spouse. I hope they figure out some way that they can have some time apart. Being close is one thing, but being together all of the time isn't good either.

I hope they can make it work. Most in the entertainment business can't, as witnessed by the longevity of most of the marriages of singers and actors.

A very wise man in the entertainment business once told me ..... "If you are are a singer or an actor, the stage is your spouse ..... and there is little room for the regular kind of spouse". I tend to agree with that statement.

In response to the underlined portion of your post (Hey! What happened to the text color option?!!!!) you are sadly correct.  I guess it's a matter of finding a happy medium, which is tough even for those of us who are married but not in the entertainment field. At least they've been dating for the past two years and have gotten a feel for what the traveling part of the business will mean to their relationship. They've gotten their "feet wet", so to speak. It also appears to me that Kat takes her "serial monagomous" relationships very seriously, unlike some of the young starlets we see flitting from one short term relationship to another. Just as she seems to handle her finances with a very level head for a 23 year old, she seems to be very mature about her love life. I agree with you that it will be a challenge, but I think it's one Kat can handle successfully.

Yay...I am happy for Kat and Nick  From all I have heard and seen and read they are a strong couple with lots of support so I wish them the best!  All we can do is make our life decisions with the all of who we are at that moment in our lives and the future will be what it is...the future. I am a softie and optomist so I think they'll be together for the long haul. It also bodes her well that she has  parents who have lived the public/entertainment life and have modeled a lasting relationship for their girls!

Love Love Love  I wish Kat and Nick all of that and the strength of character and the will to maneuver all that a committed relationship requires.

Woooo Hoooo!!!

Excellent point you make there. I think Kat's parents have given her a stong foundation where marriage is concerned. At least outwardly! LOL. None of us know what goes on behind closed doors, but they seem to have a good marriage.

This is all speculation. Like I said earlier, I'm not going to sugar-coat it. Let's see if they are still together in 5 years.

Ps.  You don't need to bring back the color on my account.  In the past some of the posts literally made my eyes bleed!

I really don't have too much to say, except of course, I wish them well and I wish Katharine every happiness. I personally am disappointed that she isn't going to wait a while longer; at least until her next album is released and the movies have been released and widely critiqued. At least at that point, she will be established in her chosen genres of entertainment and taking some time to have children will not impact her career so profoundly.

Frankly I can't see what will change so much, married or not, considering the way they seem to be working things right now. What will change things is kids. Her mom was pretty much a stay-at-home mom--at least that's what she said-- and that's something she may not be able to manage so well. That's what's going to mess with her options and choices. Hopefully if the nesting urges get too much stronger she'll just go adopt another chihuahua.

I do want to note to everyone here, that I have a built-in anti-marriage stance.....mainly due to my own personal experiences....

I'm not really as grumpy as I appear. If Kat and her alleged fiance' are happy, that is all that really matters.

To me marriage is:   But........ to Katharine it may be:

The timing is not good for her career, and the loss of young girls who look up to Katharine as a role model is in jeopardy, along with the loss of the many young men who have adopted Katharine as there hearttrob.Katharine has a chance to become a mega superstar and I hope that this doesn't hold her back

This is becoming more and more believable, but I still prefer to take everything with a grain of salt. In any case, I don't really have the power to make Kat or Nick do anything I want, so whatever they plan to do, they can do it! All that's left for me to do is hope for the best.

My thoughts about Kat and Nick getting married is that I will support that if that is what makes Kat happy. I too pray that they last forever but if not, and things get sour for Kat, I will be there for her. I will not abandon her or pass judgement no matter what. Nick is a good thing for her. Nick supports her and if Nick did not wake her up at 5 AM to be at the auditions, we would never have known Kat. So, I am thankful that if she wants to be married, she picks Nick.

Time for Kat and Nick to shop for a huge stack of plates that Nick's side of the family get to smash to smithereens. Kat will get to smash them up too, which begs for a photo moment...

 

Obviously, we still can't be completely sure this is true. In a time when false stories so easily get into the mainstream wheel of internet news--it could be a festering rumor that Kat just hasn't been made aware of yet. After all, it took some of her past rumors weeks and months to get cleared up with a simple statement from her. Nevertheless, deduction is easy to use and you can see other clues that point to this being fact. It's also possibly the longest rumor we've seen from the assembly line without Kat saying something. But I'll say again that Kat and Nick have (for a long time now) looked like the most married unmarried couple I've ever seen. In that sense, any marriage is just a natural progression that won't change much.

The thing is, it's obvious both have taken great pains to be with one another more often than what appears on camera. I think she and Nick have been together contantly--even during those video blogs Kat did months ago that gave the impression that she was a lonely single all by her lonesome in her new condo. When you saw her looking at someone to the side, you knew Nick was possibly there. Trying to give the impression she was single was likely a recommendation by her manager to keep the male fans interested. That's quite ridiculous thinking, though, but I guess it might have worked for some of the male fans. To me, pretense hurts credibility in a notable person--so I'm glad Kat's forwarding her trademark sense of truth.

If there is any truth to a wedding, I think they've already proven to one another their commitment. You need a couple of years to show that promise of being there for one another...and they probably realized things wouldn't be any different if their union was on paper. Plus, I wish people would get over age differences in relationships, but stigmas produced by naivete and other forces will always be around, sorry to say.

So the wedding would be in Feb., huh? Of course, you think of Valentine's Day--despite that making the story a bit of a cliche and wondering about half-truths until an official statement.

Greg, I agree with you. I'm also waiting for verbal verification from Katharine. I am also inclined to believe these "rumors" simply because nobody from Kat's camp has vehemently denied any of them.  OPAH!

As I said already in the RUMOR thread, I am filled with gratitude that Nick drove Kat to the auditions and allowed us to discover what a wonderful person she is i
