Katharine McPhee is proud to have become a mother for the first time in a preview of an upcoming episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show.
During the 37-year-old singer’s appearance, the subject of the conversation focused on her newborn son, Rennie David, whom she welcomed earlier this year with husband David Foster, 71.
When Clarkson asked how McPhee was physically, the songwriter expressed that she was happy to be a new mother, despite her tiredness.
New priority: During a preview of a future episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Katharine McPhee talked about her life with her son, whom she welcomed earlier this year.
McPhee expressed, ‘I’m a little tired here and there, but I find hours to take a nap and he’s such a good little baby and I’m so in love.’
The former American Idol contestant added: ‘It’s my best job I will ever have.’
The 38-year-old host of the show, who is also a mother of two, agreed with McPhee’s statement and gave her opinion on how to raise mischievous children.
Clarkson said, ‘The hardest thing for me is when they’re so damn cute and you love them so much, but they’re doing something that’s wicked and you’re like, “No, you’re not going to twist me around your finger. “‘
She understands: the show host joked with the singer about raising small children and commented: ‘the hardest thing for me is when they are so damn cute’

McPhee then talked about how many of her acquaintances have been asking about her future as a mother and why she chose to focus on the present.
She said, ‘My girlfriend … was like, “Can you imagine that you’re going to have to be mad at him one day?” and I’m like, ‘No, he’s so cute now. I can not imagine.’
Clarkson laughing reassured the singer that she would eventually get to this point with her son and that she would realize that her first child may be more mischievous than expected.
The hitmaker commented: ‘Trust me, this is going to happen. It will happen and you will say, ‘Whose are you?’

McPhee shares her first child with record company executive and musician David Foster, whom she married in 2019, and was previously married to Nick Cokas from 2008 until they finalized their divorce in 2016.
Although Rennie David is the singer’s first son, her husband, who is 35 years older, raised four older daughters with two of his previous wives and put his oldest son up for adoption, reconnecting with her at age 30.
During an interview with USA Today, McPhee talked about how she tried to create a routine in her son’s life in order to prepare him for the future.
“I tend to follow the rules and try to keep a schedule … Discipline is good for children,” she said.
The singer also noted that raising Rennie was much less difficult than she expected, noting that her son had ‘a very good sleep so far, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. But he is making motherhood a little easier for a new mother.
