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, <strong>Rennie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the sweet video posted to McPhee&#8217;s Instagram stories, McPhee and Rennie can be seen singing &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; to Foster, who is looking suave in a tux. McPhee is toting a birthday cake filled with candles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cHappy Birthday to my sweetheart @davidfoster. I love you so much &amp; thank you for this wonderful life and family,&#8221; McPhee wrote on the video. &#8220;Was a very busy day &amp; Dodgers winning tonight took the cake!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"&amp;lpar;Instagram&amp;sol;Katherine McPhee&amp;rpar;\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/bb1384bf2d466a4ead3bf8e58c663d7c.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&amp;lpar;Instagram&amp;sol;Katherine McPhee&amp;rpar;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\ud83c\udfac<a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/newsletters\/daily?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=top\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news &amp; celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>SIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news &amp; celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\ud83c\udfac<\/p>\n<p>The Couple is Touring Together<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The couple has big plans for this upcoming winter, when they&#8217;ll head back out on the road together. Back in 2023, the couple opened up about life on the road together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It&#8217;s been great,&#8221; Foster told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/katharine-mcphee-and-david-foster-discuss-the-perks-of-touring-together-and-new-holiday-album\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Tonight;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Tonight<\/a> about touring life. &#8220;It&#8217;s a bit of a shlep.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Being together has not been the shlep,&#8221; McPhee clarified. &#8220;Just the constant packing and unpacking. You wake up in a new city every day, and it&#8217;s just a grind. That&#8217;s the only part that sometimes wears on you. And you just want to be in your own bed. But when we&#8217;re onstage for those two hours, it&#8217;s the best part of the whole thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Parenting Their Little One<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As parents to Rennie, the couple occasionally has disagreements, particularly about discipline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I want to start disciplining [Rennie] and Kat&#8217;s not really down with that,&#8221; Foster told <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/katharine-mcphee-and-david-foster-disagree-about-disciplining-son-8405880\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:PEOPLE;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">PEOPLE<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;No, that&#8217;s not true,&#8221; McPhee replied. &#8220;I just want to discipline in my own way. There&#8217;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&#8217;ve done poorly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/erin-foster-simon-tikhman-meet-172826176.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Meet the Real-Life Couple Who Inspired &#039;Nobody Wants This&#039;;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Related: Meet the Real-Life Couple Who Inspired &#8216;Nobody Wants This&#8217;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This story was originally reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\/katherine-mcphee-41-celebrates-husband-david-foster-76th-birthday\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Parade;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Parade<\/a> on Nov 2, 2025, where it first appeared in the <a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">News<\/a> section.
