Oh! But he tinkled the piano keys at Yolanda’s swanky gatherings so beautifully!
He surely took great pride that his wife ran such a surreally perfect fridge—a fridge with visible contents that was its own character, with its own Twitter account!
She took such cooing care of him!
It is true, David Foster’s many successes speak for themselves: the St Elmo’s Firesoundtrack, Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing,” and many, many more. Foster has won 16 Grammys and was Oscar-nominated.
However, reality television’s very own weird success-measure means that this astonishing career in popular music mattered little next to his wife Yolanda’s squabbles and make-ups with Lisa Vanderpump and Brandi Glanville, and more recently her distressing illness.
And yet now, perhaps, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans, who had never heard of Foster before his appearance alongside his wife, know why we were treated to her emphatic reaffirmations of his fame and standing.
Page Six reports—under the headline, “Foster Family Torn Apart By Fame”—that Foster reportedly feels his success has been eclipsed by that of his wife’s model daughters, Gigi and Bella.
“A source explains that after Yolanda married David in 2011, she took the RHOBHrole ‘to help her daughters rise in the modeling industry.’”
Also in 2011, says Page Six, Foster “was named chairman of Universal’s Verve Music Group, but now, ‘David’s record label is shutting down... and he is blaming her for this failure because he thinks the Housewives show has hurt him.’”
Worse, while the Hadid girls are all over the place as super-famous models and gadabouts, Erin and Sara, Foster’s daughters, star in a VH1 reality show, Barely Famous, and remain—Page Six bitchily notes—“just that.”
This comes after the couple announced to People last week they were to divorce: “Sadly we have decided to go our separate ways. We’ve shared nine beautiful and joyous years together. During that time we experienced love, friendship and the inevitable challenges that come with managing a marriage, careers, blended families and health issues.”
That last matter is central, presently, to Yolanda’s place in the show—she isbattling Lyme disease, and another Page Six story recently posited that Foster saw the attention being paid to this was eclipsing him too.
Men, see the titles of these shows: This is what you are signing up for. Know your place.
“David thinks everything revolves around her and her illness. It’s become the biggest narrative of her show,” Page Six quoted a source as saying.
He certainly wasn’t present for his wife in last week’s season opener—she had decamped from Malibu to live in an apartment nearer to her doctors in Los Angeles.
Yolanda explained his absence in sympathetic terms herself: He had a life, and was busy, she said, with no hint of any marital discord. Indeed, Yolanda recently praised Foster as a “courageous husband” for “standing by” her as she endured her illness.
