For David Foster and Katharine McPhee marriage is about compromise.
The couple, who recently performed at the Musicares gala, seem to be enjoying working alongside each other, living together and raising their three-year-old son, Rennie.
In a new interview with People, the famed music producer, 74, spoke about his relationship with the singer, 39.
The pair, who walked down the aisle in London in June 2019, don’t have any ‘any hard and fast rules,’ the composer said.
‘[Marriage] is a moving target, as you probably know,’ the The Color of My Love composer said. ‘If you’re a parent, then you absolutely know.’
