Katharine McPhee Discussed Her And David Foster’s 35 Year Age Gap
Katharine McPhee has been a vocal supporter of her right to marry David Foster, a multi-millionaire pepaw double her age. David is 71, Katharine is 36, and last week she gave birth to a baby boy, 0. This is David’s sixth child (his eldest is 50), but very first son. And yeah, Katharine knows how it looks. On Monday’s episode of something called Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy Podcast she admitted she was was initially worried about how the public would view their ridiculous age gap. OMG, US! She’s talking about critical bitches like us!
Katharine said, via People:
“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”
“Things are never as they appear,” Katharine said with a wink. Then she pulled David’s updated will out of her newborn’s mouth.
Katharine goes on to say that their love story “didn’t just happen overnight”:
“We had a real journey and I had a real process,” she added. The Waitress star addressed their age-gap saying, “It took me a while to kind of come around to really want to have a real, serious relationship because I was very concerned with what people would think.”
“The perception of what people try to create, especially with women, it’s always the woman’s fault,” she said. “It’s the woman who wants to be with the older man because he has money and he’s had success and she wants this, that,” she continued. “I mean, our story’s been the complete opposite.”
I mean, yeah, fair. I’ve already made two gold-digging jokes in this very post. But why else would someone wanna be with a grumpy old narcissist who mowed down Ben Vereen? Hell, I might even put up with the old bastard for his few years if it meant getting a hefty chunk of that $150 million fortune. Think of all the things you could do! Like, oh, I dunno, donate to the GOP.
David’s had five wives, just one away from becoming a modern-day King Henry the 8th. His first wife, BJ Cook was 9 years his senior. #2 Rebecca Dyer was 6 years his junior. Wifey the Third was Linda Thompson, and she was just 1 year younger than David. Hmmm… progress… which was quickly dashed when he wed Yolanda Hadid, about 14 years his junior. Then he thought, “Aw, fuck it”, and went full Hollywood-gross with Katharine. On the plus side, David never chopped off any of his five wives’ heads. Not ONE. Nope, he saved the violence for poor Ben Vereen.
