A daytime lip-lock may have resulted in a major kiss-off. Page Six
says actress Mary McCormack (from "In Plain Sight," "The West Wing" and
Mrs. Howard Stern in "Private Parts") booted husband Michael Morris out
of their Los Angeles home after photos surfaced this week of him puckering up and generally looking lovey-dovey with his former (and also married) "Smash" co-worker, Katharine McPhee.
"Mary
threw Michael out of the house on Sunday night when he told her that
TMZ had the photos and that they were about to be released," alleges a
source.
McCormack,
44, whose new NBC show "Welcome to the Family" just got canceled, has
three young daughters with Morris, 47: Lillian, 2, Rose, 6, and
Margaret, 9.
"They've been together for more than 10 years and always had such a solid marriage," a source tells Life & Style. "He wants to keep the family together, but as far as Mary is concerned, it's over. There's no going back."
Not that Morris didn't try. Page Six claims he unsuccessfully attempted to buy the kissing pics to keep them from going public.
"Mary
only found out this week about the affair after he confessed everything
to her," maintains the L&S snitch. "She is beyond furious and is
absolutely devastated. So is Michael. He really wants to make it work
between them and try and save the marriage. But at the moment, Mary
wants to split up with him."
McPhee,
for her part, has apparently been separated from her husband, Nick
Cokas, for several months. The onetime "American Idol" contestant, 29,
married the 47-year-old producer in 2008.
"I never noticed anything with Kat and the director on set at the time," a "Smash" set insider tells People. "I do remember Kat's husband was always around and was very controlling."
According to Page Six, she was "blindsided" by the release of the photos.
"She is SO embarrassed she was caught," a spy tells Us. "She should have known better!"
As
for McCormack and Morris, "Only time will tell if [they] can make
things work and get over this," adds the L&S spy. "He loves Mary and
is so sorry about what he's done."
And presumably sorry that he was captured doing it.
