KATHARINE McPhee and her husband David Foster welcomed a baby boy into the world in February 2021.
The actress, 37, announced she was pregnant with her first baby with Foster, 71, and has shared the first adorable images of her newborn.
Katharine McPhee gave birth to a boy.
“Katharine McPhee and David Foster have welcomed a healthy baby boy,” the rep tells PEOPLE. “Mom, Dad, and son are all doing wonderfully.”
She wrote on her Instagram Story: “Just in case you were wondering… I love being a mommy!”
Their son’s name is Rennie.
On October 8, 2020, Katharine announced she was pregnant.
She and her husband David made the announcement after they were spotted in Montecito, California, on Tuesday, October 6, buying baby products.
The pregnancy news comes a year after McPhee and Foster tied the knot.
The pair got engaged in June 2018, and married a year later in front of about 150 friends and family members at the St Yeghiche Armenian Church in London.
David Foster is a musician and producer from Canada.
He has worked with music legends such as Alice Cooper, Rod Stewart and Kenny Rogers.
In the 1970s he featured on albums by George Harrison and Earth, Wind and Fire before moving into music producing.
David first met Katharine when he mentored her on season five of American Idol in 2006.
He has been married four times previously, most recently to The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Hadid for six years before they divorced in 2017.
Foster is a good friend of Prince Harry.
The pair met through his wife Katharine, who reportedly went to school with Meghan.
Katharine told Access Hollywood: “My husband has a really, really beautiful relationship with Harry. They’re so cute. They’re like father and son.”
David said he and his family have known Katharine for 15 years.
He said: “I’ve known her for 15 years and they’ve known her that long as well. It was a comfortable transition, and it’s a credit to both my wife and daughters that they’ve just rolled with it and they do great together.
“It’s been years now with no animosity and no problems, and I have no reason to believe that’ll change at all.”
Because this was Katharine’s first pregnancy, all of the changes were new to her. Speaking candidly with E! News, Katharine admitted that her relationship to pregnancy was “love-hate.”
The star revealed she endured morning sickness and had a difficult time accepting her growing belly.
But she said that after giving birth to her son, her perspective changed.
“What I didn’t expect was to have the baby and then be so at peace with my body,” she said.
“I had this, wow, like this huge appreciation of what my body had just done and given me that I wish that I’d given myself a little bit more of that grace through the pregnancy,” she continued.
David is already dad to daughters Sara, 40, Erin, 39, and Jordan, 35, from his marriage with second wife Rebecca Dyer
He has a daughter named Amy, 48, from his first marriage with B.J. Cook.
His eldest daughter is named Allison, 51.
