Katharine McPhee defended her husband, David Foster, after being criticized for complimenting her post-pregnancy figure in a recent Instagram post.  

The 72 years old record producer faced a backlash after sharing a picture of McPhee, who greeted the couple’s first child 10-months ago, modeling a skimpy black bikini in a backyard setting with the accompanying caption: ‘What baby?

After some social media users criticized his remark on the photo, McPhee came to her husband’s defense on Wednesday in a post of her own.

Katharine McPhee Responds 

“I’m sorry but we are not sorry. And for all of you who can’t deal with it, maybe this helps. I’ve struggled with weight my whole 20s and 30. I’ve gone up and down 10 times over. 

Does that make you feel better? There is nothing wrong with that -most people do,” she wrote alongside another photo of her in a bathing suit.

She resumed, “I lost this baby weight without dieting. Zero. Diets are the worst and I’ve had zero pressure from anyone. 

I’ve let my body do its thing and found a great workout. That’s it. And guess what? I’ll probably gain weight again at some point too. 

Who cares? BUT people freaking out about what my husband captioned seriously get a life… Stop being so offended by what people post who have zero impact on your life and move on.“

“Maybe you should have more of an attitude of like, let’s say… ‘oh that’s nice he thinks his wife is hot,” she concluded. “I cannot deal with this overly sensitive society right now. But as Taylor Swift said haters gonna hate 🤣 byyeeee.“

McPhee and Foster Welcomed Their Son, Rennie

McPhee and Foster embraced Rennie in February after tying the knot in June 2019.

In March, the actress said that her “biggest challenge” while carrying Rennie was the fear that her past efforts with disordered eating and bulimia would come back as her shape expanded. 

That gave McPhee a “healthy love-hate relationship with pregnancy,” she told E! News.

“I think that I struggled a little bit with the getting bigger part,” she told the outlet.

After Rennie’s birth, though, McPhee found that her attitude completely flipped.

“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.“

And in the months since, McPhee said, she hasn’t had any urge to push herself to lose weight.

“I actually had this huge gift where I felt zero pressure to kind of get back to a certain standard,” she said. “I was just like, ‘Wow, this is such a moment in time to enjoy a new baby and give thanks to this incredible body that just did something so spectacular, like truly a miracle.'”

“I’m so much happier, so much more peaceful,” she continued. “And actually, the extra weight that I gained while I was pregnant has just sort of fallen off naturally. I never had to torture myself to do any of those things.”

Meanwhile, Foster is no outsider showing his wife compliments on social media.

In September, the Grammy-winning musician called her a “hot mom” in the comments of an Instagram post after she shared a series of photos from a recent family tour to Canada, including two snapshots of herself carrying baby Rennie.

In one of the photos, McPhee is carrying Rennie as she waves at the camera from a trail in a sunny garden. Another photo showed the Smash star giving Rennie a big smooch on the cheek in front of a body of water.

“HOT MOM!!!!! 🔥,” Foster commented on the post.

Regardless of other people’s opinions, the American Idol alum said in April that being a mom is the “greatest job” she will ever have.

Katharine McPhee and David Foster

Foster, who is 72 years old, married four times earlier, and McPhee, 37 years old relatively younger than her husband, met in 2006 when the singer was taking part in American Idol. 

The pair, who share a 35-year age difference, was reported to be dating in May 2017 before later announcing their engagement in July 2018. 

The couple tied the knot on 28 June 2019 and later welcomed their first child together, son Rennie, in February.
