Sara Foster Shares Where She Really Stands with Gigi & Bella Hadid
Picture this: your ex-stepsisters are supermodels, and you’re still grabbing coffee like it’s no big deal. That’s the low-key truth Sara Foster revealed about her ongoing friendship with Gigi and Bella Hadid. In a refreshing July 9 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the 44-year-old actress casually dropped that she “just saw Gigi last month,” proving these former stepsisters keep things chill almost a decade after their parents went separate ways.
Sara’s dad, music mogul David Foster—now married to Katharine McPhee since 2019—shares no bad blood with the Hadid sisters. “He actively raised those girls,” she pointed out, underscoring that the love forged while David was married to Yolanda Hadid from 2011 to 2015 still holds strong. The duo officially divorced in 2017, but Sara and her sister Erin Foster never lost that blended-family bond with Yolanda’s three kids: Gigi (30), Bella (28) and Anwar (26).
Erin, 42, echoed a similar sentiment back in September on WWHL when she quipped, “The kids don’t get divorced, just the parents do.” She also opened up on the Sibling Revelry podcast about adapting to her other step-siblings—Brody and Brandon Jenner—after their mom Linda Thompson’s split from David in 2005. Erin remembered feeling like an outsider in her dad’s $20 million home, but those awkward moments didn’t last forever.
Meanwhile, David Foster’s family tree gets richer by the day. At 71, he welcomed his youngest son, Rennie, an event he told People in 2022 was “just great.” The Grammy-winning composer reflected in his 2019 doc David Foster: Off the Record—via Rolling Stone—that he used to be a “runner” in relationships, always chasing the next shiny thing. But with Katharine, he’s “very happy where I am,” making it his fifth—and hopefully final—marriage.
The Foster clan extends further: David’s sister Jaymes Foster co-parented son Parker with Clay Aiken, though Parker “has chosen a different path,” as Aiken told E! Online. David’s eldest, Allison Jones, was adopted at birth and reunited with him later; she now leads The David Foster Foundation after earning her MBA. With six siblings on his side and six kids of his own, David’s legacy spans music, philanthropy and some of Hollywood’s most intriguing family dynamics.
So if you were wondering whether those step-sister vibes faded, Sara Foster’s laid-back update is all the proof you need that sibling bonds can outlast divorce papers. Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
