Katherine McPhee reveals name of newborn son with David Foster
Katharine McPhee has revealed her son's special name.
The 36-year-old welcomed her first child with husband David Foster, 71, in February and opened up about the name they chose for their baby in an interview with Today With Hoda and Jenna.
"OK, well, his name, we haven't said anything. My husband hopefully won't kill me for saying it, but his name is Rennie David Foster," she told co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager in the interview, which will air on March 19. "We picked Rennie 'cause I'd actually been in labour for a while. We didn't have a name picked out."
"We had a couple names," she added. "But my husband was on a text chain with his sisters and one of his sisters suggested an old family name. It was his great-grandfather's name, his great-uncle's name, so it has a long history in his family. My husband said, 'Hi, Ren Foster,' and so we said, 'That's a good name. It's a strong name.'"
McPhee took to Instagram to share a photo of newborn Rennie.
"Just in case you were wondering, I love being a mommy," she wrote alongside the snap.
Their newborn son is McPhee's first child and Foster's sixth. He shares five adult daughters including Sara, 40, Erin, 38, and Jordan, 34, from his marriage to Rebecca Dyer, and Allison, 50, and Amy, 47, from previous relationships.
"Katharine McPhee and David Foster have welcomed a healthy baby boy," a rep for the couple said in a statement to People. "Mum, Dad and son are all doing wonderfully."
