Katharine looked typically stylish on the night, donning a simple khaki sweater teamed with skintight jeans and a peep-toe booties. 

Styling her glossy raven tresses in a simple middle-parting, she framed her features with minimal make-up. 

David, meanwhile, kept things casual in ripped jeans, white Converse trainers and a navy bomber jacket.

The couple recently spoke about their 34-year age gap, revealing that it doesn’t deter them.

‘It doesn’t make sense to a lot of people, but it does to us,’ the LA native explained to People last month.

‘He has things to learn from me and I have a lot of things to learn from him, so I think we have a nice yin and yang.

‘She didn’t catch my eye on the first day because I was so busy trying to do my job,’ said Foster, who went on to produce McPhee’s first single.

‘But the reality is that in the last 12 years I’ve always had a connection with her.’

While their relationship started out as a friendly one, it ultimately turned into a romance, with Foster adding that, ‘the fact that we are both in the music industry helps.’  

Katharine divorced 53-year-old Nick Cokas in 2016 after six years of marriage and a highly-publicized affair with her 44-year-old married Smash director Michael Morris.

It will be the fifth time down the aisle for David – who was previously married to Yolanda Hadid, Linda Thompson, Rebecca Dyer, and B.J. Cook. He has seven children and one grandchild.
