After six months of dating 33-year-old entrepreneur Brooks Perlin, Katie Couric, 50, isn't worried about the younger-man thing, PEOPLE reports in its latest issue.
"The age difference scared her off at first," says a friend of the CBS Evening News anchor, who agreed to have dinner with Perlin a few weeks after chatting with him at a Manhattan cancer fund-raiser in September.
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," says her friend. "She's a very young 50. She's playful. She's cute. She's down-to-earth. And he's mature. They seem happy."

OMGGGGG I wonder what Katie look like without her MAKEUP

Katie better take what ever she can get. The kid must be pretty hard up or has seen Katie’s checkbook.
“She’s playful. She’s cute”...and old enough to be his mother. When he’s 45, she’ll be 62. A significant age difference matters more as one gets older.
That true he probably don’t know us Freepers on how many photoshop we already done on his Mrs Robinson ROFL
This boy looks like he’s dumber than a bag of hammers.
Been there. Done that. The problem is after a time, they want you to have babies with them. It won’t last. (IMO)
What on earth does he see in her?
Must be the money.
When he’s 45, he’ll be divorced with a handsome settlement.
People magazine began as a magazine for real people. We soon caught the drift when it began to be about so called celebrities. I wouldn’t pick up a copy of People if it was the last piece of paper I had to wrap up some fish.
Ugh...
This will be the one and only time I will say ‘you go girl’ to Katie Couric.
I guess she won’t be getting in digs at Fred for having a younger wife. :/
I salute you for winning the “Obscure Pop Culture Reference of the Day Award” :)
