73-year-old David Foster gets honest about raising a toddler

"I can offer him wisdom"

73-year-old David Foster has opened up about being a father to a toddler. Foster came under immense backlash after it was revealed that he would become a dad in his 70s. However, the actor has addressed the controversy. He stressed that he may not be around for a lot of his son Rennie's life, but that doesn't mean he can't be a good father. He told People that raising a toddler at his age takes a lot of patience. "I had all daughters until my son and I love all my daughters immeasurably, but having a son is a little bit different." "At this point in my life, it's different again. Not better or worse, just different. 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." The dad added, "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." "I think I can offer him wisdom from my 72 years on the planet. And maybe that's not a bad trade-off. I hope so." Foster is also a father to five daughters.
