And I get it. But what I hope is happening to us is: when Celine and Ren\u00e9 first got together, I started working with her when she was 19. Then when I found out that they were together, and she was maybe 20, and he was 45 or whatever the age gap \u2013 not quite as big an age-gap as us \u2013 it seemed weird for sure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then: magically, being around them after year three, year four, year five and on into a decade, it just looks right. And I\u2019m hoping that we just look right now. Because it\u2019s been six years. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s obviously not the norm. But it really works for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, David &#8211; who has five adult daughters from his previous marriages and two-year-old son Rennie with Katharine &#8211; admitted he is &#8220;so happy&#8221; his wife turns 40 in March.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe laughed: \u201cI\u2019m so happy that she\u2019s turning 40 in a couple of months, because then at least [I can say] \u2018My wife\u2019s in her forties!\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nThe veteran producer acknowledged age gaps can be a factor in relationship problems, but insisted all marriages are &#8220;challenging&#8221; in some way.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cThere\u2019s so many things that can bring a marriage down. Money, infidelity, children, stepchildren. Age-difference is one of them. But it\u2019s only one. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So if you have all the other stuff together, and you\u2019re not fighting about all that other stuff, then, yeah&#8230; I mean, it\u2019s challenging in some areas for both of us. But marriage is challenging, period.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/david-foster-hopes-katharine-mcphee-age-gap-less-weird-now-1390217.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 December 2023 David Foster hopes the 34-year age gap between himself and Katharine McPhee is starting to seem less &#8220;weird&#8221;.
