MOVE over Matt — Katie Couric's new squeeze is a boyish-looking jazz trumpeter named Chris Botti.
The musician, 42, who has opened for pop star Sting and is promoting his own CD, told USA Today that he's nuts about the morning show pixie.
"She's brilliant and beautiful and really, really fun," Botti says of Couric, 47. She knows about music, "but then, she's up on everything. She's so intelligent."
Rumors about Botti and Couric have been swirling for weeks. She recently broke up with Red Sox co-owner/media mogul Tom Werner.
Couric first met Botti on the set of the "Today" show a few years ago when he showed up to play backup for an appearance by Sting. They were more properly introduced a few weeks ago at a party in New York and have been dating ever since, he says.
"It's been interesting going out in public with Katie, but this is all very new to me. I'm taking it one day at a time," he says.
Botti has been named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People," and has worked with Joni Mitchell, Natalie Merchant and other music stars. He joined Paul Simon's band in 1990 and worked with the singer for five years....

typical democrat metrosexual
How is she in the sack?
hummmm....Katie looks a LOT older than 47.....I would have placed her at 55/56 at least....
My comment was not about his sexuality.....it's about his playing.....blowing....errrr....never mind....
I didn't mean to imply you were partaking in the piling on...yours was the 1st neutral post I saw.
Tom Werner dumped her as soon as the Sox made the playoffs.
My current favorite on trumpet is Randy Brecker....more muscular tone, jazzier style
And could be charged with child abuse if he was 12 and she was 17.
Yeah, I think it's called "smooth jazz" which means unoffensive elevator music. Background music.
I hate the way that MTV has changed music from what it sounds like or it's musical content to the way you look, your hairstyle, your clothes and the way you dance.
what a bunch of homophobes there are in this thread already
Not one person on this thread said they were afraid of homosexuals, as the word “homophobe” would imply.
Sorry to disappoint everyone but Chris Botti isn't gay folks.
We know that. It’s just fun to call metrosexuals “gay”. They kind of are really, other than the actual “having sex with men” part. I'll bet you a dollar the decor in his house is impeccably stylish and he has his nails done professionally.
Sorry to disappoint everyone but Chris Botti isn't gay folks.
Well of course not. And Michael Jackson isn't a child molester either. < /sarcasm>
The Wicked Witch of NBC...SMSM....and the faked/fantasy news program!!
Give me Chet Baker, even deceased, any day.
Sorry dead. I'm ignoring all Katie threads even if she is dating a gay guy. No comment from me.
A great choice
Maybe we're merely metro-phobes ;-)
So, is the picture of Katie before or after her colon surgery? Oh, I see, during.
Anybody who confuses dumb as dirt with intelligence must be dumb as dirt.
LOL!!!
