Katharine McPhee will celebrate her two-year anniversary with husband David Foster in June, but before the couple married, the actress had some doubts.
The biggest hurdle that McPhee, 36, said he had to overcome was his huge age gap with that of the Grammy winner, 71. There have been 35 years between them.
The singer admitted that she was nervous about what people would say.
“We all have the ability to label things and look at something for the way it looks or face value and make a judgment call,” he said in Monday’s episode of Dr. Berlin’s informed pregnancy podcast. “So I fully understand the judgment initially, but things are never as they seem, things are never exactly as they seem and I am in love with our love story and that is all that matters.”

“We had a real trip and a real process,” said McPhee of their relationship, which started out as a friendship.
The couple met in 2006, when McPhee participated in the fifth season of “American Idol” and Foster was a mentor in the singing competition.

The “Waitress” star explained about her age difference: “It took me a while to understand and really want to have a serious and real relationship, because I was very concerned with what people would think.”
“The perception of what people try to create, especially with women, is always the woman’s fault,” he added.

“It is the woman who wants to be with the older man because he has money, he was successful and she wants this, that,” reflected McPhee. “I mean, our story was the complete opposite.”
