Katherine McPhee and David Foster may want to channel their musical talents into lullabies. The couple, who wed in 2019, have welcomed a baby boy, McPhee's publicist confirmed Wednesday. McPhee and Foster knew each other for years after meeting in 2006 when Foster was a mentor on American Idol. McPhee was the runner-up on Season 5 to Taylor Hicks. She was also tapped to perform in Foster's 2008 David Foster & Friends concert special alongside Celine Dion, Michael Bublé, Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli.
This is the first child for McPhee and the first son for Foster.
Congratulations!
This iconic song, Over the Rainbow sung by Judy Garland in the film, The Wizard of Oz in 1939 has these oh-so-familiar lyrics that include, "once in a lullaby". These 4 words of the song now truly have a special meaning for both Katherine and David Foster.
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found ..
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?
