Katharine McPhee and her husband: still going strong!

She may not be posing for many red carpets with husband
Nick Cokas at her side, but
Katharine McPhee insists her marriage is better than ever. "The best thing he ever did for me was marry me!" the newly blonde singer told
In
Touch about her hubby at
Glamour's Women of the Year Awards in New York on November 9. The
American Idol season five runner-up, who wed the producer in February 2008 in front of famous friends like
Kellie Pickler, is already scheming some sexy holiday plans for her man. "I think this year I'm going to try to do something romantic!" she laughed. Katharine's new album,
Unbroken, will be released in January.
