As mentioned, the 73-year-old songwriter joins his fifth wife on this parenthood journey. A month ago, The Blast reported on how the keyboardist opened up about raising his son at his age.

During an interview, the father-of-six mentioned that his advanced age gave him enough wisdom in parenting, which he hoped to share with his kid before he was gone. Foster said:

"I think that I can offer one thing to Rennie even though I won't be around when he's 50 or 40 even, or 30 maybe." He continued, "I think I can offer him wisdom from my [73] years on the planet, and maybe that's not a bad trade-off. I hope so."

Explaining further, he talked about his eagerness to impact his age-given wisdom on his child, sharing that this perspective came from previously living his life without being "patient." 

The Grammy Award winner also acknowledged that he values his time with his son. "I still work, I'm still gone a lot, but maybe the time is a little more precious to me because I got more runway behind me than I have ahead of me now."

Rennie Is Following in His Parents' Musical Footsteps

As fans know, Rennie's parents are musically-gifted, and it is no wonder that the little boy is growing up to become just like them. Last October, The Blast reported on how the "Had It All" singer shared a series of posts that proved the little angel has the talent to become like she and her husband.

The proud mother flaunted her child's budding musical talent in a clip that showed him banging on a drum set during a studio session. To the amusement of the proud mother, Rennie, who didn't pay any attention to the adults around him, focused on hitting the surface multiple times. 

In another clip, the talented producer worked while soulful music played in the background. McPhee spotlighted her husband and praised him for being a "cool" record producer. The video's caption states that the sounds belonged to the Grammy award-winning Jazzman Chris Botti.
