David Cook Dating? The American Idol competition has come to an end this season, and this year's winner is already reaping the benefits of being a champion. David Cook did not wait long to turn his Idol win profitable.

Cook has admitted on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' that he is dating a former American Idol contestant, Kimberly Caldwell. Actually, what he said was that the two went on a dinner date.

Pressed on the show as to whether he had a good time on the date, Cook replied, "I did. We'll probably hang out again. So we'll see." Caldwell was on season two of American Idol.

Cook vaulted to the top of the American Idol competition early this season. He changed his look a bit, and developed the confidence that he could win the competition. His performances were solid throughout the year.

Last week, Cook beat out fellow contestant David Archuleta in the finals. The results were somewhat surprising since Archuleta received high praise all night from the judges.

Cook and Caldwell met this season on the show. They recently went out to dinner, and Cook later admitted to the date.
