What started as a mentor-contestant friendship on “American Idol” eventually became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about love stories. Seven years after tying the knot, Katharine McPhee and David Foster are celebrating another marriage milestone, along with two decades of memories that include red carpets, family moments, musical collaborations, and life on the road together.
Foster is a music producer and was a main cast member on the early seasons of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” with his now ex-wife, Yolanda Hadid. McPhee and Foster made their red carpet debut in 2018. They then got married a year later in June 2019. They welcomed a son, Rennie, in February 2021. For seven years of marriage, we are taking a look back at seven photos that capture their relationship through the years.
1. Visiting His Hometown
The couple made their red carpet debut in 2018. This photo was posted to McPhee’s Instagram account in August 2018.

2. Making Firsts Happen
The couple was wed in June 2019. Just two months later, in August 2019, McPhee posted these images of the couple making memories together.
McPhee captioned the photos, “David’s first time. 🗽.” The location was the Statue of Liberty National Monument.

6. Family Time At the Ballpark
It was a special occasion in May 2024, as McPhee and Foster took their son, Rennie, to his first baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston.
In addition to the family all in attendance, “America’s Got Talent” finalist Daniel Emmet, who tours with Foster, was also at the game that night with them.
7. Sharing the Stage & Their Lives

The couple has also taken the stage together at events, such as the Segerstrom Center Candlelight Concert at Segerstrom Center For The Arts in December 2024. It just goes to show they are both partners in life and on the stage.
