How did you guys meet and how did you like,
I love people's love stories.
Like how did you know that each other was the one?
But I met him when I was a contestant on American Idol.
Oh, you did?
I did.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, yeah.
He, that season, I mean, that,
I mean, if you remember how massive American Idol was
at that point, it was just like,
I mean, they gave us our own security guards
to go to the malls to shop.
Like every [C#] week we would go and it was so unnecessary,
but that's how important they thought,
like that the show was.
And like, you know,
if Steven Spielberg is watching American Idol every week,
it was pretty important at that time.
It was pretty major.
So they had, I say that
cause they had amazing guests every week.
Like we had Stevie Wonder [G] and Rod Stewart
and Andrea Bocelli and [Dm] David Foster.
I remember calling my [D] mom and saying,
you're never gonna [C#] believe who's the guest mentors this week
[N] and my mom was a huge Andrea Bocelli fan.
And so I grew up like listening to all his music
and then I said, the producer, David Foster.
And I was like, I don't know who he is.
And she's [A#] like, Catherine, David [N] Foster.
David freaking Foster.
David Foster, you know who David Foster is.
And I was like, okay.
So I grew up idolizing Celine
and that was one of the many people that he like,
she was already, he'll credit her
cause he's always good at giving credit where credit's due,
but he'll say that Celine was already famous in Canada,
but he brought her, he brought her down to America
and made her first album with her.
And so I was obsessed with Celine,
obsessed with, not Mariah Carey,
well her too, but he didn't produce her.
And the Whitney Houston Bodyguard soundtrack.
I mean, he did like everything that I loved.
So anyway, that was when I first met him,
but of course it wasn't like, I mean, I was very young
and we had a huge age difference.
And so I was certainly not,
all I was thinking about was the competition
and Andre Bocelli and getting through that week.
But it was really cool because [G#] when I came off the show,
I came in second, I didn't win,
but I Scott Sarn signed [C] to RCA and they had me,
the big song that I [C#] sang on Idol was
Somewhere Over the Rainbow that [C#m] Simon picked for me.
He [Cm] had like said, this is the song that [F] Kat's gonna sing.
[Am]
[A#] And so RCA had [N] hired David.
So I remember like getting in my little,
cause I grew up here in LA.
So I had my car here and my mom came to the studio
and he lived in Malibu at the time,
this beautiful property.
It was mostly like the house itself,
he'll say like, wasn't even that great,
but he had this amazing studio with this huge lawn.
So it's just like straight out of a movie
where I pull up in my little like Honda Civic car.
So cheeky, my first little car that I ever had.
It was like big, beautiful mansion
and had a great session that day
and recorded the vocals with him.
And I just remember being really,
I realized obviously at that point
how iconic of a producer he was, right?
And all the amazing accomplishments he had
and being there with my mom
and doesn't just talking about music and stuff.
So it was a really special day.
And then he started taking me on the road
like to do a bunch of he's,
everyone would tell you that he never says no
to a charity event, right?
He's like always doing the musical entertainment
for a charity event.
So, but then he always needs singers to sing.
[Em] So I started becoming one of [F#m] many [D] singers
that he would take on the road with him.
So [G] none of that had any romantic notions whatsoever.
[N] Although he did like, you know,
he did make it known that I was marrying the wrong person.
I did get married.
I got married.
I was almost 24, so I was 23.
And so I'd already known him for a couple of years now.
I'd been done a bunch of gigs with him.
He came to the wedding and played the piano
when I sang for my then husband.
And that situation didn't work out,
but it was, you know, it was, I learned a lot,
but he was just kind of always this person
that I really felt honored to know.
And to just, I knew I didn't,
never had any intentions of him producing an album for me or whatever.
I, when I could, music is like a whole other subject
I could go into.
I kind of always just in the back of my mind
realized I would probably be more of an actor
than I would be like a recording artist.
And yeah, so we stayed friends
and did a lot of gigs together
and got to know each other
in a lot of different circumstances.
But it wasn't until after I moved back from LA,
I went to New York, from New York.
I did Smash for two years,
did a TV series on CBS Scorpion for four years.
And then it wasn't until like the last two years
of Scorpion that we ran into each other in Palm Springs.
And I was much more mature.
I was 32 years old and we had a lot of red wine.
That's how it always starts.
That's how my babies were made.
Yeah.
He invited me and my sister who I took her to Palm Springs
for a girl weekend to a tennis match.
Cause I saw that he was in Palm Springs
on his daughter's Instagram, I had to.
And he said, come to the tennis match.
And I was like, okay.
And we went and my sister went back to her, our hotel.
And he's like, come stay and party with a bunch of friends.
There was like tons of people and we just kept drinking wine
and it was just a very different night
than all the previous years.
I love it.
Sounds like, you know, you guys,
that's actually really cool to know somebody that long
and through different stages of your life like that.
And then like, when you know, you know,
like when it's the time,
it's really interesting what they say about timing, right?
It's like, sometimes it is the right person,
but the time has to be right too.
Yeah, the time has to be right.
Well, and I'm so, I mean,
I've always was crazy about him
and not in the same way, obviously,
that I could realize that I could be.
And so now of course, I'm always like,
I wish I'd been with you like this whole time, whatever.
But I would have never worked out
cause I would have probably been insane and crazy.
And like, you know,
had to go through the young 20 something years.
But it's true.
It's like amazing that we've known each other
as long as we've had.
And I'm out of breath cause I'm pregnant.
I had to take a pause.
I thought you were having a contraction.
I was like, is it happening right now?
This is gonna go viral if you have the baby on the podcast.
You know, I mean, I'm literally like trying to,
if I seem like I'm in distress,
it's only cause I'm old.
You don't look pregnant from here.
This is the thing, cause normally you- I'm pregnant.
Oh my gosh, it's so beautiful.
When I was pregnant, my entire face blew up.
Like I looked pregnant from here down, for sure.
You do not look pregnant.
You don't look pregnant at all.
You don't look puffy or anything.
You just look-
Well, my feet and my ankles and my calves
are like all just like one giant unit.
Like there's no separation from-
Anyway, thank you.
But yeah, let me just say that when you know, you know,
but it did take me because I knew him for so long
and I loved him and I liked him.
But I was really freaked out about like the age difference.
I was just like- You were?
Yeah, I mean, it was just not even like
that I was freaked out.
It was just like, oh, this is just a fun thing.
Like we've always loved each other,
but he always kind of, not inappropriately,
not like when he was in other relationships,
but when he wasn't, he always kind of made it known
that he had feelings for me or whatever.
But I was always like, you're insane.
Like, you're too old for me.
And it's just like, you know, now when we're together,
it's just as right.
And it's some people are never gonna get it
and we don't care.
We're fine about it.
You know, it's just like, he's the best thing
that ever happened to me.
But he was always the best thing that ever happened to me.
Like even when he was just a mentor
or someone who gave me privileges of performing
and giving me experience or giving me a job, right?
Like he was always special to me.
And so just the fact that we sharing this life together,
it's like, we'll still be driving the car
and I'll like turn to him.
Cause I'm like super romantic.
I like, and I'll just be like,
I can't believe we're together.
I can't believe I'm with David Foster.
And he just laughs.
And I'm like, I can't believe we're having a baby.
You know, it's just like, cause I still can't believe it.
It's [D#] so cool.
I think it's the coolest thing.
It's like a greatest honor of [N] my life.
I love people's love stories.
Like how did you know that each other was the one?

at that point, it was just like,
I mean, they gave us our own security guards
to go to the malls to shop.
Like every [C#] week we would go and it was so unnecessary,
but that's how _ important they thought,
like that the show was.
And like, you know,
if Steven Spielberg is watching American Idol every week,
it was pretty important at that time.
It was pretty major.
So _ they had, I say that
cause they had amazing guests every week.
Like we had Stevie Wonder [G] and Rod Stewart
and Andrea Bocelli and [Dm] David Foster.
I remember calling my [D] mom and saying,
you're never gonna [C#] believe who's the guest mentors this week
[N] and my mom was a huge Andrea Bocelli fan.
And so I grew up like listening to all his music
and then I said, the producer, David Foster.
And I was like, I don't know who he is.
And she's [A#] like, Catherine, David [N] Foster.
David freaking Foster.
David Foster, you know who David Foster is.
_ And I was like, okay.
So I grew up idolizing Celine
and that was one of the many people that he like,
she was already, he'll credit her
cause he's always good at giving credit where credit's due,
but he'll say that Celine was already famous in Canada,
but he brought her, he brought her down to America
and made her first album with her.
And so I was obsessed with Celine,
_ obsessed with, not Mariah Carey,
well her too, but he didn't produce her.
_ _ _ And the Whitney Houston Bodyguard soundtrack.
I mean, he did like everything that I loved.
So anyway, that was when I first met him,
but of course it wasn't like, I mean, I was very young
and we had a huge age difference.
And so I was certainly not,
all I was thinking about was the competition
and Andre Bocelli and getting through that week.
But it was really cool because [G#] when I came off the show,
I came in second, I didn't win,
but I Scott Sarn signed [C] to RCA and they had me,
the big song that I [C#] sang on Idol was
Somewhere Over the Rainbow that [C#m] Simon picked for me.
He [Cm] had like said, this is the song that [F] Kat's gonna sing.
[Am] _ _
[A#] _ And so RCA had [N] hired David.
So I remember like getting in my little,
cause I grew up here in LA.
So I had my car here and my mom came to the studio
and he lived in Malibu at the time,
this beautiful _ property.
It was mostly like the house itself,
he'll say like, wasn't even that great,
but he had this amazing studio with this huge lawn.
So it's just like straight out of a movie
where I pull up in my little like Honda Civic car.
So cheeky, my first little car that I ever had.
It was like big, beautiful mansion
and had a great session that day
and recorded the vocals with him.
And I just remember being really,
_ I realized obviously at that point
how iconic of a producer he was, right?
And all the amazing accomplishments he had
and being there with my mom
and doesn't just talking about music and stuff.
So it was a really special day.
And then he started taking me on the road
like to do a bunch of he's,
everyone would tell you that he never says no
to a charity event, right?
He's like always _ doing the musical entertainment
for a charity event.
So, but then he always needs singers to sing.
[Em] So I started becoming one of [F#m] many [D] singers
that he would take on the road with him.
So [G] none of that had any romantic notions whatsoever.
[N] Although he did like, you know,
he did make it known that I was marrying the wrong person.
I did get married. _
I got married.
I was almost 24, so I was 23.
And so I'd already known him for a couple of years now.
I'd been done a bunch of gigs with him.
He came to the wedding and played the piano
when I sang for my then husband. _
_ _ _ And that situation didn't work out,
but it was, you know, it was, I learned a lot,
but he was just kind of always this _ person
that I _ really felt honored to know.
And to just, I knew I didn't,
never had any intentions of him _ producing an album for me or whatever.
I, when I could, music is like a whole other subject
I could go into.
I kind of _ always just in the back of my mind
realized I would probably be more of an actor
than I would be like a recording artist.
_ _ _ And yeah, so we stayed friends
and did a lot of gigs together
and got to know each other
in a lot of different circumstances.
But it wasn't until _ after I moved back from LA,
I went to New York, from New York.
I did Smash for two years,
did a TV series on CBS Scorpion for four years.
And then it wasn't until like the last two years
of Scorpion that we ran into each other in Palm Springs. _
And I was much more mature.
I was 32 years old and _ we had a lot of red wine. _
That's how it always starts.
That's how my babies were made.
Yeah.
_ _ _ _ He invited me and my sister who I took her to Palm Springs
for a girl weekend to a tennis match.
Cause I saw that he was in Palm Springs
on his daughter's Instagram, I had to.
_ _ And he said, come to the tennis match.
And I was like, okay.
And we went and my sister went back to her, our hotel.
And he's like, come stay and party with a bunch of friends.
There was like tons of people and we just kept drinking wine
and it was just a very different night
than all the previous years.
_ I love it.
Sounds like, you know, you guys,
that's actually really cool to know somebody that long
and through different stages of your life like that.
And then like, when you know, you know,
like when it's the time,
it's really interesting what they say about timing, right?
It's like, sometimes it is the right person,
but the time has to be right too.
Yeah, the time has to be right.
Well, and I'm so, I mean,
I've always was crazy about him
and not in the same way, obviously,
that I could realize that I could be.
And so now of course, I'm always like,
I wish I'd been with you like this whole time, whatever.
But I would have never worked out
cause I would have probably been insane and crazy.
And like, you know,
had to go through the young 20 something years.
_ But it's true.
It's like amazing that we've known each other
as long as we've had.
And _ _ I'm out of breath cause I'm pregnant.
_ I had to take a pause.
I thought you were having a _ contraction.
I was like, is it happening right now?
This is gonna go viral if you have the baby on the podcast.
You know, I mean, I'm literally like trying to,
if I seem like I'm in distress,
it's only cause I'm old.
You don't look pregnant from here.
This is the thing, cause normally you- I'm pregnant.
Oh my gosh, it's so beautiful.
When I was pregnant, my entire face blew up.
Like I looked pregnant from here down, for sure.
You do not look pregnant.
You don't look pregnant at all.
You don't look puffy or anything.
You just look-
Well, my feet and my ankles and my calves
are like all just like one giant unit.
Like there's no separation from-
Anyway, thank you.
But yeah, _ let me just say that when you know, you know,
but it did take me because I knew him for so long
and I loved him and I liked him.
But I was really freaked out about like the age difference.
I was just like- You were?
Yeah, I mean, it was just not even like
that I was freaked out.
It was just like, oh, this is just a fun thing.
Like we've always loved each other,
but he always kind of, not inappropriately,
_ _ not like when he was in other relationships,
but when he wasn't, he always kind of made it known
that he had feelings for me or whatever.
But I was always like, you're insane.
Like, you're too old for me.
And _ _ _ it's just like, you know, now when _ _ we're together,
it's just as right.
And it's some people are never gonna get it
and we don't care.
We're fine about it.
You know, it's just like, he's the best thing
that ever happened to me.
But he was always the best thing that ever happened to me.
Like even when he was just a mentor
or someone who gave me privileges of performing
and giving me experience or giving me a job, right?
Like he was always special to me.
And so just the fact that we sharing this life together,
it's like, we'll still be driving the car
and I'll like turn to him.
Cause I'm like super romantic.
I like, and I'll just be like,
I can't believe we're together.
I can't believe I'm with David Foster.
And he just laughs.
And I'm like, I can't believe we're having a baby.
You know, it's just like, cause I still can't believe it.
It's [D#] so cool.
I think it's the coolest thing.
It's like a greatest honor of [N] my life.
