David Foster and Katharine McPhee are engaged.
The 68-year-old music producer popped the question to the 34-year-old actress and singer during a romantic holiday in Italy.
Katharine, who rose to fame after becoming the runner-up on the fifth season of American Idol in 2006, revealed the news on social media with a text exchange she had with a friend.
“How did he know your ring size?? And where did he do it?? And did he get down on one knee??” the pal asked.
"He did it at the top of this mountain in Anacapri. Totally dark, only stars. Thankfully he didn’t push me off the cliff. He said it was one or the other. And in the end he spared me,” she joked.
It’s unclear when they first started dating, but David was briefly linked to Liz Hurley in July 2017.
