Katharine McPhee and David Foster are headed to the altar.

The former "American Idol" contestant and the Canadian musician confirmed their engagement on Tuesday.

Foster, 68, popped the question to McPhee, 34, while the two were vacationing in Capri, Italy, according to the former "Smash" star.

"He did it at the top of this mountain in Anacapri," McPhee wrote in a text exchange she shared on Instagram. "Totally dark, only stars."

This will be McPhee's second marriage.

Foster has been married four times and has five children. His last marriage was to "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, Yolanda Hadid.

McPhee and Foster first crossed paths in 2006 when Foster served as a mentor during love songs week in Season 5 of "American Idol," on which McPhee was competing.

He maybe twice her age but he’s probably got at least twice the money and a whole lot more influence.

Hands down, the best version (in my estimation) of The Prayer is Bocelli/McPhee - here. But c’mon, isn’t the age difference akin to Hefner and any woman he ever dated?

what’s with the line or crease on the side of her chest near arm pit? maybe the dress is too tight there and her boob is smashed, whatever, it’s noticable.

Seems to be a lot of mentoring going on in the entertainment industry.

Fifth time. Second time.

How is this a marriage?

To quote Dave Barry:

The ideal way to break up is the one featured in the famous best-selling book, Love Story, where the beautiful heroine, sensing that the relationship is getting maybe a little stale, contracts a fatal disease. In real life, however, it’s never that easy. you never have a really good excuse for breaking up with the other person, so you feel guilty, and you put off confronting the problem.

I have a friend who found it so difficult to tell his girlfriend he no longer loved her that he just kept going along with the program, until finally, one day, they actually got married. They had a big wedding, and she was up there, in front of all her friends and family, thinking this was the happiest day of her life, and he was standing there in a rental tuxedo, thinking: “should i tell her now? nah. better wait till after we cut the cake.”

This kind of thing happens all the time.

So if you’re going to break up, you have to overcome your guilt and break up now. Otherwise you’ll never find the person you really want, the person with whom you can achieve your goal of lifelong happiness.

You should follow the example of famous former ravishing beauty Elizabeth Taylor, who sheds husbands like used kleenex and has consequently achieved lifelong happiness dozens of times.

When she was 24 and he was 56.

So why'd they pick on Judge Roy Moore?

>>How is this a marriage?<<

It is not. It’s a straight up exchange of security for sex, with the help of a little blue pill. Oh, and it’s her fault for getting mixed up with a 4-time marital loser.

Both my spell-checker *AND* my voice recognition apps agree that this is mis-spelled.

It's actually ........ AMERICAN IDLE.

A man who marries his fifth wife is certainly an optimist.

Re Elizabeth Taylor's husbands ...

Back before the WWW and search engines, age-appropriate computer games - such as Sierra Online's "Leisure Suit Larry" - used a series of questions to determine whether the person attempting to start the game was actually an adult and not some teenager.

The questions were all multiple choice. I got a hearty laugh out of one of the questions: It gave you 5 or 6 possible answers, and the question was:

"Which one of these men was NOT a husband of Elizabeth Taylor? ....."

Zsa Zsa did the same thing as Liz, only she targeted wealthy husbands instead of famous husbands. Her lawyers could always extract huge amounts of compensation from Gabor's ex-es. After one divorce, when her latest ex came out of the courtroom to face popping flashbulbs, the first question to him was, "How do you feel?"

His answer: "Like a squeezed out lemon".
