Sara Foster has defended her dad David Foster’s age gap with Katharine McPhee.
The 76-year-old musician has been married to Katharine, 42, since 2019, and Sara has now launched an impassioned defence of their relationship, insisting people pay too much attention to their age gap.
During an appearance on the Let’s Be Honest podcast, Sara explained: “It’s not easy coming into this family. It’s not easy, and I think they’ve gotten so much, not s***, but the age difference.”
Sara explained that the decision to tie the knot was not a spur-of-the-moment one for the loved-up couple.
She said: “Everyone has an opinion about something.
“They’re 12 years in, and they are happy … She’s a fully consenting lady, this is not, like, some child bride. She is in her 40s.”
Sara thinks Katharine has dealt “really well” with the challenges of being a stepmother.
Sara – whose mother is Rebecca Dyer, David’s second wife – explained: “I think it’s hard being a stepparent, obviously. I think you want to ride the line of wanting your partner’s kids to like you and wanting to show up as a motherly figure. But you also have to have respect for the real mom … the biological mom.
“I think it’s a tough balance, and I think she does it really well.”
Katharine previously insisted that the loved-up couple “don’t care” about their age gap.
The brunette beauty explained that while other people often raise their age-gap as a potential issue, the loved-up couple don’t allow the chatter to affect them or their relationship.
Katharine – who was the runner-up on the fifth season of American Idol in 2006 – shared: “Of course, some people think it’s a thing, but we don’t – we don’t care.
“Here’s the thing about social media [and] people who make comments … You have to remind yourself that they make that comment and five seconds later, they’re not thinking about you anymore.”
