“When Kat talks about David, her face lights up. She’s really so happy,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly of the couple in November 2017. “They’re actually so cute together. They aren’t hiding it anymore … David is really charming. The age difference might seem substantial to some, but they are really cute together and it makes sense.”

McPhee was previously married to Nick Cokas from 2008 to 2016. Meanwhile, Foster was married to singer B.J. Cook from 1972 to 1981, Rebecca Dyer from 1982 to 1986, Linda Thompson from 1991 to 2005 and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Yolanda Hadid from 2011 to May 2017.
