Katharine McPhee and David Foster, who just welcomed a baby boy, will celebrate their second wedding anniversary this June. They?ve been romantically linked since 2016. They?ve known each other, however, for about 15 years, meeting when Katharine was 22 and David was almost 56. May/December romances have always caught the public?s attention, so it?s not surprising that Katherine and David?s 35-year age difference comes up often. Katherine recently spoke on a podcast about their age difference. She reminded people that things are not always what they seem. Of course, Katherine is talking about the perception and not the actual difference because there is definitely three and a half decades between these two.
Katharine McPhee is opening up about her relationship with David Foster, sharing how the married couple combats negativity surrounding their 35-year age gap and how theyve prepared for parenthood.
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 thats all that matters, the 36-year-old singer and actress told Dr. Berlin during an episode of Informed Pregnancy Podcast of her relationship with Foster. But it didn?t just happen overnight. We had a real journey and I had a real process.
Still, when it comes to the judgment that the couple faces from outsiders, McPhee expressed that the negativity seems to be focused on her perceived role in the relationship.
The perception of what people try to create, especially with women, its always the woman?s fault. Its the woman who wants to be with the older man because he has money and hes had success and she wants this, that. I mean, our storys been the complete opposite, she said. Every once in a while it feels good to give [trolls on social media] the finger. But for the most part, we really don?t care. [Foster] will say every once in a while, Eventually, were just going to look normal to people.
McPhee explained, There was never one day that I doubted my decision to be with him. Even if we had an argument or whatever, I?m so crazy in love with him and so grateful. But it?s not just in love with him, I loved being around him before we were even married.

In the interview, Katharine acknowledges that the odds are not in their favor, given the statistical success rates of multiple marriages. This is David?s fifth marriage and Katharine?s second. However, she credits the counseling she and first husband, Nick Cokas, did at the end of their marriage as to how she?s making it work with David. She said she learned to approach their relationship differently to avoid the usual pitfalls. I?ll give Katharine credit for being self-aware about why her and Davids relationship has our attention. And her marriage to Nick imploded, so I?m sure it was some pretty intense therapy.
I do agree with Katharine that in the young wife/old geezer relationship, it?s the woman who?s scrutinized. The old man just wants a PYT on his arm and that?s somehow fine, but that gold-digging hussy keep your eye on her! With Katharine and David, its David I?ve side-eyed more. He seems like a man who needs a woman who will make him look good, but won?t eclipse him. Or, in the case of his last marriage, ask too much of him, like, say, being allowed to recover from a major illness. I think that?s what took him so long to marry Katharine, he had to make sure the press wouldn?t put her before him, like they put his Housewife days before his Grammys. Which makes me almost feel bad for Katharine if her comments about being crazy in love with him are true.

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have been trying to find the next phase of their careers for a while. Dax tried his hand at a TV series, Bless This Mess, but I guess I was the only person who liked that show. He?s seems pretty content with his podcast, though. Kristen still has healthy Disney ties. But she definitely has that strike-while-the-iron-is-hot approach to cementing something for her future. She has her #Momsplaining show on YouTube, but that?s not her cash cow. It?s obvious that Kristen is trying to secure some kind of talk show deal. Kristen constantly hovers near Ellen DeGeneres. So near, that when Ellen?s future looked questionable over the summer, Kristen?s name was floated frequently as Ellen?s replacement. However, since Kristen did not come for Ellen?s crown as her head was bowed, Ellen rewarded her ? big time. It was announced yesterday that Ellen is giving Kristen and Dax their own game show called Family Game Fight! Here was the announcement on Ellen?s show:

The gist of it is that Kristen and Dax will host a competition show in which two ?families? compete against each other. I put families in quotations because Kristen and Dax clarified it doesn?t have to be in the traditional sense, the competitors can define family on their own terms, which is cool. Ellen said the show idea was inspired by the game Taste Buds that Kristen and Dax played on her show, which is a blind taste guessing game. It sounds like Family Game Fight! will be a collection of different competitions and not just Taste Buds, which is good because Taste Buds is kind of dumb. But the difference between this and Ellens Game of Games is that Kristen and Dax will not only host Family Game Fight!, they?ll be playing too. On opposite teams.
This sounds like a great vehicle for them. Their weird, chaotic dynamic as a couple translates well in competition. Kristen is wildly competitive and, as she said in the announcement, she tunes out, which could lead to some funny outbursts. And I don?t think Dax cares that much, so he?ll be the perfect foil for Kristen?s adrenaline rush. Plus, for all of her faults, Kristen can take a joke, which plays well with Dax?s deadpan sarcasm. So this could work as long as it stays friendly and doesnt get mean.
I said above that Ellen rewarded Kristen for not kicking the chair out from under her when she was vulnerable. But I do recognize that Ellen is keeping her friends close and her enemies closer. Ellen knows who is being eyed to replace her. If she tucks her replacements away in cushy little game show hosting jobs, she contains the threat? for now.
