Nick Cokas and Katharine McPhee

If only Smash had been this consistently riveting onscreen.

And, while Morris' actress wife of ten years Mary McCormack allegedly kicked him out of their home after finding out the news, McPhee's situation is a little different. As rumored, the actress and American Idol runner-up, 29, has been separated from producer husband Nick Cokas for at least six months, multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly.

Indeed, since she and husband of five year Cokas, 47, parted ways, McPhee "has had friends living with her for months," one insider says.

"She is SO embarrassed she was caught," a second source says of the undeniable photos. "She should have known better!"
