Foster and model Yolanda Hadid were together for nearly nine years before announcing their divorce; they didn't have children together, though her children Gigi, Bella and Anwar Hadid, lived with Foster in their teen years, and all appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

In his 2020 documentary, David Foster: Off the Record, the artist said Hadid's difficult, public battle with Lyme disease is not why the pair split.

"The fact of the matter is that was not the reason I left. It was for a different reason — which I will never disclose — that had nothing to do with her being sick," he said.

During her marriage to Mohamed Hadid, Yolanda was stepmother to his two older children, Alana and Marielle.
