May 23, 2014 -- Katharine McPhee's marriage is over.

The actress and her husband, Nick Cokas, are getting divorced.

"After six years of marriage, and having been separated for the past year, Katharine McPhee has filed for a dissolution of marriage from Nick Cokas. The two have an amicable relationship and will remain friends. They ask that people respect their privacy during this time," a rep for the "Smash" star told People.

Katharine McPhee Gets Personal

Last year, McPhee, 30, was photographed kissing her "Smash" director, Michael Morris, who is married to actress Mary McCormack. However, a source told the magazine that the split has nothing to do with the controversial pictures.

It was just time," the source said. "They'd grown apart and weren't right for each other anymore."
