Katharine McPhee's Engagement Ring Details

Set in platinum, her diamond halo ring features an emerald-cut diamond which she wears in a north-south direction. We estimate the stone to weigh between 3 and 4 carats. A diamond halo frames the magnificent stone. The band features a split shank paved in delicate diamonds, as well. Canadian musician and music producer, David Foster, slipped the ring on Katharine's finger on top of a mountain in Anacapri, Italy. Anacapri is a pristine island off the coast of Sorrento, Italy. Any mountain top vista affords 360-degree views of the Gulf of Naples and the Tyrrhenian Sea. It was "totally dark, only stars," McPhee told ET! Foster's rep confirmed their engagement on July 3, 2018. McPhee shared the news with fans and friends on Instagram. But the ring was a close-kept secret for weeks.  

Tragedy Prompts Katharine to Share Her Joy

Unfortunately, tragedy struck when McPhee's father died unexpectedly in mid-July. "My ring was the last thing I showed my dad before he passed and makes me smile when I look at this as a reminder of our last conversation," the Waitress actress wrote on Instagram. In the photo, McPhee's engagement ring sparkles front and center. Her happiness is evident, though dampened a bit by the grief of the week. "And now I'm ready to share with all of you what has been my sunshine amongst this painful loss." Drawing strength and wisdom from her partner, she decides to celebrate life and remember love.  

David & Katharine's Romance

David and Katharine met during the filming of American Idol in 2006. McPhee competed on the show, and David served as a mentor to the competitors. In November 2017, Foster produced McPhee's first single. Onlookers remarked about the special bond McPhee and Foster shared from the beginning of their working relationship. Though absolutely dedicated to his work, Foster carved special time out to spend with McPhee. We wish the couple the best of luck as they plan their wedding.
