As a result of 68-year-old Foster’s series of marriages (“American Idol” alum McPhee, 34, will be his fifth wife), the Canadian music producer is at the center of a sprawling, star-studded genealogical tree that includes Hadids, Kardashians, Jenners and more.

Foster’s most recent marriage was to “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Yolanda Hadid. The two wed in 2011 after nearly six years of dating, making Foster stepfather to models Bella (far left), Gigi (far right) and Anwar Hadid (all children from Yolanda’s previous marriage to Mohamed Hadid).
In 2015, the pair announced they were divorcing.

In 1991, Foster wed actress Linda Thompson, a former flame of Elvis Presley’s and ex-wife of Caitlyn Jenner (then known as Bruce).
Jenner, of course, went on to marry Kris and become stepdad to her four children with her ex-husband Robert Kardashian: daughters Kourtney, Kim and Khloé Kardashian and son Rob Kardashian. Together, the Jenners had two more daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
Thompson and Foster wrote several hit songs together over the course of their relationship, including the Oscar- and Grammy-nominated “I Have Nothing,” performed by Whitney Houston in “The Bodyguard.”

Foster became stepfather to Thompson’s sons, Brody (far left) and Brandon Jenner (second from left). The two Jenner boys appeared alongside Foster and Thompson on the reality series “The Princes of Malibu,” which premiered on Fox on July 10, 2005 — exactly one day before Thompson filed for divorce from Foster. The show was canceled after two episodes.
Both Brody and Brandon have made cameos on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alongside their half-sisters Kendall and Kylie. Brody was also a regular on MTV’s “The Hills,” in which he often shared scenes with his friend (and former “Princes of Malibu” co-star) Spencer Pratt.

Together, Foster and Cook had another daughter, Amy S. Foster (left). In addition to co-writing multiple Michael Bublé hits including “Home” and “Haven’t Met You Yet,” she’s penned songs for Destiny’s Child, Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli.
