David Foster, 68, and Katharine McPhee, 34, don't care about numbers. The age-defying couple is engaged. Kat took to Instagram on July 3 to confirm reports that the music producer had proposed, revealing that David popped the question on top of mountain in Italy. She was seen rocking her engagement ring while touring the Italian island of Capri, and she also showed off her ring to family and friends on FaceTime. This will be the singer-actress's second marriage. It will be David's fifth. According to Us Weekly, the pair could be getting married sooner rather than later. "Katharine is telling close friends she doesn't want to have a long engagement," a source said, adding that the couple also wants to start a family together. David and Katharine "are planning to be married in the next nine months" and there "will be a prenuptial agreement… David says that Katharine is his true love and muse."

Dating again
Jennifer Aniston is putting herself back out there. A source told Us Weekly that the actress is dating again six months after splitting from second husband Justin Theroux. In fact, the report claims, two men — neither of whom are actors — are vying for her attention. "It's very hush-hush," the source said. The first man is apparently a tech titan who met Jen via a mutual friend. "He recently split from his wife and is trying to win over Jen," a second source said. The other man, yet another insider explained, "is an industry creative she met when they started working on a project together several months ago." Jen's friends are apparently thrilled that the actress is dating again. "As strong as Jen is, she tends to be very wary of new people," the first source said. "It normally takes a while for her to open up and trust someone."
