Katie Couric and her younger boyfriend are splitting, said UsMagazine.com. The former CBS Evening News anchor, 54, and Brooks Perlin, a former hedge fund manager 17 years her junior, said this week that they are separating after five years. “Katie is incredibly versatile and in high demand, and he just couldn’t keep up,” said a source. “Brooks is a nice guy, but their age difference made it a challenge, too.”
