Musical couple Katharine McPhee Foster and David Foster hit another high note together!
The former “Smash” star, 36, and her husband, producer and songwriter, 71, welcomed their first child, a son, confirmed TODAY.
“Katharine McPhee and David Foster welcomed a healthy boy,” a McPhee Foster representative told People. “Mother, father and son are all doing wonderfully.”
The boy is McPhee Foster’s first son and the sixth of her husband, who has five daughters from previous relationships.
The singer and actor, who stars in the upcoming Netflix series “Country Comfort”, shared a photo of her on Instagram earlier this week that showed her cradling her belly. In the photo, she wears a beautiful sundress and a face mask, while carrying a cute puppy in her shoulder bag.
McPhee Foster shared her baby’s gender during a recent interview on the Women on Top podcast. During the chat, “American Idol” runner-up said she resented the comments about her appearance as a girl and felt “relieved” that her son was not so affected by similar comments.
“Now that I’m going to have a child, I’m like, ‘Wow, there are really different things I need to worry about teaching him compared to the things I would be thinking about with a girl,'” said the star, “but it’s kind of invigorating because I don’t feel I need to think about – I don’t think men are so affected by this type of society, like, ‘This is how you look’ (comments). I think men have different problems and different things to worry about . “
McPhee Foster met her husband in 2006 when she was a 21-year-old competitor on “American Idol” and he served as a mentor on the show. They married 13 years later, in June 2019.
Months later, the couple started talking about their love story during a November 2019 visit to TODAY.
“I have always admired and loved him, and he has always been so nice to the people around him,” said McPhee Foster of her husband.
As for Foster, he listed his wife’s beautiful voice as one of his favorite things about her.
“Well, her singing in the first place,” he said. “Where do I start? I mean, the inner beauty, the outer beauty. And we’ve been friends for 14 years.”
The music legend summed up the couple’s relationship as “a natural union”.
Congratulations on your new addition, Katharine and David!
