38 Year Old American Idol Star Katharine McPhee’s Husband David Foster, 73, Reportedly Pushing Her To Get Pregnant Again as He Knows He ‘Won’t be Around’ For Long
American singer-songwriter Katharine McPhee and her husband, musician David Foster are reportedly planning to have a second child. The two reportedly first sparked dating rumors back in 2017 and ultimately got married in 2019. Their 35-year age gap has raised a lot of eyebrows but the two don’t really care what people say about their relationship.
They welcomed their first child, son Rennie, two years ago in February 2021. Now, they are planning to welcome their second child together, who will be Foster’s seventh child in the list of all his children from his previous marriages. The musician believes he won’t be around when his kids are old as he’s growing old and wants to witness their milestones.
Katharine McPhee and David Foster got married in 2019
Singer-songwriter Katharine McPhee and musician David Foster met on American Idol for the first time in 2006. McPhee was a contestant and Foster was a guest mentor on the show. They initially became friends but rumors about their romance began spreading in 2017. Their massive 35-year age gap became the center of attention back then.
They made their red carpet debut in 2018 and ultimately got married in June 2019 in London. After two years, they welcomed their first child, son Rennie David, in February 2021.
The couple is planning to welcome their second child
Now two years after they welcomed their child, they are reportedly planning to expand their family. A source has stated that David Foster hopes to see his kids’ milestones as they grow up,
“David’s done the math and knows he won’t be around when his kids with Katharine are much beyond adulthood. He wants to enjoy time with them and impart all the wisdom he can, so he doesn’t want their next child to arrive years down the road.”
Foster, who is now 73, believes that he won’t be around for too long so he’s rushing the process in order to witness his kids’ milestones.
Katharine McPhee once talked about their age gap
Their 35-year age gap has been a topic but it doesn’t bother the couple. Katharine McPhee once appeared on Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy Podcast and revealed that she was hesitant about dating Foster due to the public perception of their 35-year age gap, but also added that she had no issue with it. She said,
“We all have the ability to label things and to look at something for the way that it looks or face value and make a judgment. So I totally get the judgment initially, but things are never as they appear, things are never exactly as they appear and I’m in love with our love story and that’s all that matters.”
In one of her recent interviews, McPhee explained that she “would love to have another baby” but added that they are “not in any crazy rush.”
