For months, there have been dating rumors involving the two going around, but neither was interested in addressing them, with McPhee saying that people can say "whatever they want."
The rumors started when Foster's daughter Erin shared photos of her dad and the "Scorpion" actress at the Grammy Museum's third annual gala with the caption, "Excited about my new stepmom." It was later revealed that the caption was meant to be taken as a joke.
The months that followed saw the two spending time together — at one point reportedly walking arm in arm deliberately to troll the paparazzi.
In a December issue for Health magazine, the 33-year-old singer, who met Foster on "American Idol" when she was a contestant there, said that they are "very close friends."
I'm really, really fond of him, and I think he's an incredible person. I've known him since I was 21 years old, you know? He produced my first single. So he's been really good to me. People can say whatever they want.
However, after the PDA photos, reports emerged claiming that the two are in a relationship with Us Weekly claiming "they aren't hiding it anymore."
A source that spoke to E! News adds that they are "more serious than they ever have been, and don't care what others around them think."
David and Katherine have been spending a lot of time together recently and are not afraid to show affection now.
The source went on to say that Foster changed his "playboy" ways because of McPhee:
He tries to fit Katherine into his schedule with dinners and lunches during the week. They both love being out in public together, and are enjoying each other's company. Katherine has always had a crush on David, and she's happy that their relationship is transpiring.
