Katie Couric may want to assign a couple of her investigative reporters at the ā€œCBS Evening Newsā€ to shadow Brooks Perlin, her new boy-toy.

Perlin, 33 - whom Couric, 50, snagged at a Louis Licari salon event last fall and has been running around with since - seems to have a hard time settling down in a career as well as having a ā€œpatternā€ of dating older women, a source says.

Not only has Perlin worked for three Connecticut-based hedge funds in the last five years, he hasnā€™t had a full-time job since September, a source told the Postā€™s Marianne Garvey.

He last worked at Keel Capital Management in Stamford but left to start a Queens-based company that creates environmentally friendly, green-building products. Before that, the spin-class-obsessed triathlete worked for a short time at both Pequot Capital Management and Grange Park, a hedge fund thatā€™s now closed.

ā€œIf someone isnā€™t working out at three hedge funds, chances are itā€™s not the place youā€™re working at,ā€ said the source. ā€œBrooks is a free spirit, but heā€™s a 33-year-old going on 18. And he hasnā€™t taken life seriously so far - heā€™s trying to figure himself out.ā€

According to the source, Perlinā€™s lack of focus stems from a ā€œhorrible accident that happened to an immediate family memberā€ in his past. ā€œIt happened sometime before he was 10 years old, it was just an accident. After that, he was sheltered and he was very protected,ā€ said our source, who adds Perlin ā€œhas a pattern of dating women much older and has a very complicated relationship with his mother over what happened.ā€

Meanwhile, weā€™ve learned that his mom, Anne Perlin, was busted last November for fourth-degree larceny. She was found guilty and fined $200 in a Stamford court.

Couric has often been spotted getting out of her limousine and heading to Perlinā€™s East Side apartment near Sutton Place, where a female resident complained that he ā€œchecks out every girl that walks by.ā€ An ex-girlfriend of Perlin also backs up the claim, saying, ā€œThatā€™s totally accurate, he has a wandering eye.ā€
