Early life

edit

McPhee was born in Los Angeles, California.[5] Her father, Daniel McPhee,[5] was a television producer.[10] Her mother, Peisha (née Burch) McPhee, has been a vocal coach on American Idol since 2011.[11][12] The family moved to the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles when she was 12 years old. Peisha McPhee recognized her daughter's musical talent and decided to train her. McPhee's older sister, Adriana, has been a vocal coach on American Idol since 2012.[13] McPhee is of English, Irish, Scottish, and German descent.[14]

She attended Boston Conservatory for three semesters, majoring in musical theatre. She left college before graduation on the advice of her manager, and returned to Los Angeles to try out for television pilots. McPhee was cast (during the time she had dropped out of college and was auditioning in Los Angeles) in a mall-based MTV soap opera pilot, You Are Here, playing the older sister of a more popular younger sister. MTV never aired the pilot and did not pick up the series.[15]

In March 2005, McPhee starred as Annie Oakley in a Cabrillo Music Theater production of the musical Annie Get Your Gun.[16] McPhee was nominated for a Los Angeles Stage Ovation Award in the category of "Lead Actress in a Musical".[17] McPhee had a small role as Paramount Girl in the 2007 musical film Crazy, based on the life of Hank Garland. McPhee filmed the role in early 2005, before she auditioned for American Idol.

McPhee has struggled with eating disorders. She told People that at age 13, she began starving herself and exercising compulsively, and at age 17, became bulimic.[18] McPhee gained weight in college due to her bingeing. After seven years of illness, she finally entered a three-month rehabilitation program after successfully passing her American Idol audition; her rehab stint ended just before the Idol semifinals started in February 2006.[19]

She told Teen Vogue in May 2007, "I eat whatever I crave—I'm just really careful about portions." McPhee and her sister appeared on the debut of The Dr. Keith Ablow Show on September 18, 2006, to discuss her struggles with bulimia and her childhood fear of her father.[20]

Career

edit

American Idol

edit
Main article: American Idol (season 5)

In 2005, McPhee was persuaded by eventual husband Nick Cokas and her parents to try out for the television series competition American Idol. She auditioned in San Francisco and sang "God Bless the Child", originally performed by Billie Holiday, and was selected to be a participant in the fifth season, which aired in 2006. After the first round of Hollywood week, she sang "I'll Never Love This Way Again" by Dionne Warwick, which earned favorable comments from the judges. During the second round, she performed in a group, singing "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)" by the Four Tops, forgetting the words, but the judges decided to advance the entire group. During the third round, she sang "My Funny Valentine" a cappella and advanced to the top 40. She was angered when fellow group member Crystal Stark did not make the top 24. McPhee's run on American Idol led to the use of the term "McPheever". The inclusion of producer David Foster and singer Andrea Bocelli as guest mentors for Top 6 Week turned out to be a fortuitous introduction for McPhee, as she has worked on various music projects with both men after Idol. In May 2006, McPhee visited her alma mater Notre Dame High School for her hometown celebration.[21] Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa visited the school and proclaimed the day Katharine McPhee Day. She finished as the runner-up to Taylor Hicks.

McPhee dated her Scorpion co-star Elyes Gabel for almost two years. They split in 2016.[131]

She became engaged to record producer David Foster in June 2018.[132] They married a year later on June 28, 2019, at the St. Yeghiche Armenian Apostolic Church in Kensington, London.[133] She gave birth to a son on February 22, 2021.[134][135] In February 2022, McPhee described struggling with her mental health after gaining weight during her pregnancy.[136]

In 2018, McPhee attended a fundraiser gala for Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) alongside her then-fiancé Foster. The event raised an all-time high of $60 million for the organization.[137] She has donated to Republican political candidates, including Donald Trump.[138][139]
