She lost her husband to colon cancer 15 years ago and has made no secret of wanting to marry again.

Now Katie Couric seems happier than ever with her wealthy financier boyfriend.

The chat show host, 56, has been dating John Molner for nearly a year, and has spend the past few weeks jetting to LA with him, sitting courtside at a basketball game with him and taking him with her to the Met Ball.

She looks so sweet and innocent, doesn't she....if you all only knew the truth...I say to John Molner...RUN! except perhaps he is exactly the same kind of person she is. Read The Unauthorized Katie Couric: Smiling Ambition - Washington Post. Woa!

"He lost me with his initials on his shoes in the 1st picture." Gator.....Oh my, I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. That just really is too much. I'm not much of a Katie fan either, but honey, this is not going to end well.
