David Foster Reveals What He Loves About Katharine McPhee

Katharine McPhee and David Foster leave the Today show studios after an interview on Tuesday (November 19) in New York City.

The 35-year-old actress/singer and the 70-year-old music producer were there to promote their upcoming PBS special, An Intimate Evening with David Foster.

During the interview, the couple spoke about how they met.

“We met on American Idol when I was a contestant and he was a mentor with Andrea Bocelli,” Katharine said. “I have always just admired him and loved him and he’s always been so great to people around him. He can be intimidating when he really needs to be for his work, but he’s really lovely.”

When asked why he first fell for Katharine, David responded, “Her singing, first of all. I mean where do I start the inner beauty, the outer beauty, and we have been friends for 14 years, and it was just kind of a natural coming together.”
