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."

WTF am I doing here?
She’s had more work done on her eyes.
Of course, it’s the MONEY! :)
Won't be covered by his insurance for another 17 years.
Eigth'll get ya thirteen, GIGILO!
I am sure that she would rather still be married to her husband but unfortunately for her he died. What a horrible person you are. I hope nothing horrible happens to you!!!!
Could have been worse, could have been Geldings!
Why is it that so many ordinary, everyday, otherwise sensible people don’t see that ‘relationship’ as just one of those silly show-biz affairs, designed to get her laid and to get him some of her money? Why do so many otherwise sensible people buy ‘show-biz’ magazines at the supremarket? Why do so many seem to care about Katie or Angelina or Jennifer or Lindsay or Paris? Can their lives be so empty that those most pathetic Hollywood manaquins have come to represent their last hopes? :)
Wanna laugh?? Steven Weber has a regular column at Huff Post. *snicker*
Steven Weber always appeared to be an arrogant prick to me. I’ll take Tim Daly any day of the week. I LOVED Wings. Mark got us tickets to the filming once!
