Tension between Morris, wife after McPhee kiss

Things look very tense between “Smash” director Michael Morris and his wife Mary McCormack following his cheating scandal with Katharine McPhee.

The pair was photographed leaving an LA office building after a four-hour meeting after Morris was photographed kissing McPhee, the married 29-year-old star of his now-cancelled NBC show.

The troubled couple, both looking strained, walked side by side but noticeably apart after they left the Los Angeles building. Morris was seen still wearing his wedding ring, but his humiliated wife kept her left hand covered.

Page Six reported that Morris’ actress wife of 10 years kicked him out of the house after he admitted his infidelity with the much-younger star.

We reported he had desperately offered to buy the photos to keep them out of public circulation, but failed, forcing him to confess all to his wife.

Like Morris, Katharine is also married, although it has been reported that she and her 47-year-old husband Nick Cokas had been living apart for six months.

We’ve reached out to the couple’s reps, but so far no comment.
