David Foster's daughter Amy Foster claps back at troll who claims the music producer 'abandoned' his children for son he shares with Katharine McPhee

David Foster's daughter, Amy S. Foster, defended him after an Instagram user criticized his parenting on Friday.

The 50-year-old songwriter refuted claims that the 74-year-old musician abandoned his older children for his two-year-old toddler son Rennie, insisting their relationship is “amazing.”

“We love our dad,” she said in response to a social media user's comment on the music producer's Instagram post of Rennie playing drums to Michael Jackson's Rock With You.

“Our dad loves us and we love how our dad is with Rennie,” she continued of their half-sister — David's only son and only child with his current wife, Katharine McPhee, 38.

Amy is one of David's five daughters, who also include: Allison Jones Foster, 53; Sarah Foster, 42; Erin Foster, 41; and Jordan Foster, 37.

The 50-year-old songwriter refuted claims that the 74-year-old musician abandoned his older children for his two-year-old toddler son Rennie, insisting their relationship is “amazing.”

David's post showcasing his toddler son's musical talent on the drums received a lot of praise and compliments.

One Instagram user pointed out Rennie's obvious inherited talent, writing: “If you're (sic) daddy that's David Foster.”

In response to that comment, someone wrote: 'Lol!!!! He is the father… He also has daughters (whom he abandoned) who are older than me…'

Amy then defended her father and shut down the claims, leaving a lengthy comment in response.

“Hi…I'm a daughter…absolutely no abandonment,” she wrote before adding that she “literally just talked to my dad five minutes ago.”

She also warned the person behind the comment for leaving a negative comment under a sweet video of their little brother playing drums.

She continued, “Will you stand up for us? It's so hard to tell these days… you see a video with an amazing two year old and your take away (sic) is something negative?

“All you have to do is look at the comments and Rennie's sisters have all given compliments,” she added. 'Were great. We love our father. Our dad loves us and we love how our dad is with Rennie.”

About a year ago, in January 2023, David spoke with People about raising a toddler at his then-age 73 and said he hoped to be more present than when he was working a lot while raising his older children.

“At this point in my life, things are different again,” he explained to the outlet. 'Not better or worse, just different. I'm still working, I'm still away a lot, but maybe time is a little more precious to me because I have more runway behind me than in front of me right now.”

In a separate interview published by People in July 2020, before Rennie was born, David admitted he regretted the parenting mistakes he made with his daughters.

“I missed a lot because I didn't raise them,” he explained of often being away to work. 'The geography was really tough.

“That was my own fault and I regret it, but it was what it was and nothing could change that,” he continued.

He said he wanted to be more present, but he was “doing his best, which was quite imperfect at times.”
