Singer and actress Katherine McPhee is celebrating her husband, David Foster‘s 76th birthday.
McPhee, who rose to fame as a runner-up on the fifth season of American Idol, went on to great success as a musical artist. She became a fan favorite thanks to her role on the NBC series Smash, and later made her Broadway debut in Waitress. She got engaged to Foster, a legendary record producer and composer, in 2018, and the couple was married the following year. But these days, the couple is juggling their busy music careers with raising their 4-year-old son, Rennie.
In the sweet video posted to McPhee’s Instagram stories, McPhee and Rennie can be seen singing “Happy Birthday” to Foster, who is looking suave in a tux. McPhee is toting a birthday cake filled with candles.
“Happy Birthday to my sweetheart @davidfoster. I love you so much & thank you for this wonderful life and family,” McPhee wrote on the video. “Was a very busy day & Dodgers winning tonight took the cake!”

The Couple is Touring Together
The couple has big plans for this upcoming winter, when they’ll head back out on the road together. Back in 2023, the couple opened up about life on the road together.
“It’s been great,” Foster told Entertainment Tonight about touring life. “It’s a bit of a shlep.”
“Being together has not been the shlep,” McPhee clarified. “Just the constant packing and unpacking. You wake up in a new city every day, and it’s just a grind. That’s the only part that sometimes wears on you. And you just want to be in your own bed. But when we’re onstage for those two hours, it’s the best part of the whole thing.”
Parenting Their Little One
As parents to Rennie, the couple occasionally has disagreements, particularly about discipline.
“I want to start disciplining [Rennie] and Kat’s not really down with that,” Foster told PEOPLE last year.
“No, that’s not true,” McPhee replied. “I just want to discipline in my own way. There’s the more old-fashioned way of disciplining, which involves time-outs and things like that. My take is that you can have more mindful parenting opposed to just assuming that a two or three-year-old can have time alone to reflect on what they’ve done poorly.”
