Chrishell Stause Calls Out Katharine McPhee in Scathing Comment

by

Chrishell Stause is giving her candid thoughts on Katharine McPhee.

Okay, let’s talk about this! I saw a comment from a Selling Sunset star about Katharine McPhee’s relationships, and it really struck me. The video highlighted Katharine’s journey from her first marriage to a man almost 20 years older, to her current husband who is 35 years her senior. It just got me thinking about age gaps in relationships and how people perceive them.

Chrishell commented on a TikTok video from May 14th, saying she believes the person featured will eventually gain true self-confidence, but only after experiencing repeated disappointment from the men they choose to support.

The 44-year-old added, “An insecure woman will steal your man, and give the worst advice.”

TopMob News has reached out to Katharine’s reps but has not received comment.

Katharine, age 42, has often talked about the age difference between herself and her partner, David, with whom she has a 5-year-old son named Rennie. She says they generally don’t focus on their ages.

As we both got older, we approached it with a similar attitude,” the Smash star shared with People magazine in 2024. “I happily embraced turning 40, and David never expressed feeling down about turning 75. I didn’t dwell on turning 40 and feeling like I was losing something, either.”

Katharine and David, who got married in 2019, share a very similar outlook on getting older.

She explained that people often simply accept whatever life brings, and instead of resisting aging, they find it’s a continuously improving experience.

David, who has six children – Alison Jones, 56, and Amy Foster, 52, with his former wife B.J. Cook, and Sara Foster, 45, Erin Foster, 43, and Jordan Foster, 39, with Rebecca Dyer – agreed with Katharine’s comments.

“I don’t even think about it either,” the 76-year-old told People. “You know, I’m just grooving.”

However, Katharine was well aware that she and David would likely be judged for their relationship. 

She acknowledged people were quick to judge at first, but explained that things aren’t always what they seem. Speaking on the Informed Pregnancy Podcast in 2021, she shared, “I love our relationship and that’s what’s most important to me.”

The actresses are used to people commenting on their 32-year age difference. Sarah addressed the criticism in a 2018 interview with Modern Luxury, saying she doesn’t worry about it. “If anyone chooses to judge me for loving a wonderful person, that’s their issue, not mine,” she explained. “I’m happy.”

Heidi Klum doesn’t pay attention to criticism about the 16-year age difference between herself and her husband, Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz. In a 2018 interview with InStyle, she explained that people often question their relationship because of their ages, but she doesn’t dwell on it. She made it clear she plans to continue living life as she chooses. The supermodel added that focusing on what others think is pointless and will only cause stress, which leads to wrinkles.

Priyanka Chopra has pointed out what she sees as a double standard. She observed that people often criticize the age gap between her and her husband, but wouldn’t react the same way if the roles were reversed. “We received a lot of criticism for that, and it still happens,” she told InStyle magazine. “It’s interesting because when the man is older, no one seems to mind – in fact, it’s often seen as a positive thing.”

The director of Fifty Shades of Grey says the 23-year age difference between her and the actor from Kraven the Hunter isn’t something they think about in their daily lives.

“It really doesn’t come up,” she explained in a 2024 interview with The Guardian. “It’s only discussed now because you’re asking about it. People who don’t know us might notice it, but after 14 years together, you’d think it wouldn’t matter anymore.”

She even pointed out that her current relationship has lasted longer than her marriage to her ex-husband, Jay Jopling, who was only about four years older than her.

“When you look at it that way,” she added, “the age gap really doesn’t seem important.”

Despite sharing a birthday on September 25th, the couple experiences typical relationship challenges. The actress, who stars in Chicago, revealed in a 2021 interview with WSJ. Magazine that her husband is 25 years her senior. She emphasized that, like any relationship, they have their moments, but love and respect remain constant.

Dennis, known for his role in The Parent Trap, believes it’s only their business who focuses on his relationship with Laura, the cofounder of Bonniedale Films – just the two of them. He wants people to understand that’s all that matters.

Despite the attention their 39-year age difference receives, Dennis says they don’t pay any mind to it.

In a 2021 interview with Today, he explained, “We honestly don’t even notice it.” He emphasized their incredible connection, stating, “I’ve never been closer to anyone in my life. We have a fantastic relationship, and love will always find a way, no matter what. You can’t predict when or who you’ll fall in love with, and we couldn’t be happier.”

The yoga instructor recently shared that she used to be critical of couples with large age differences, before she began dating an actor 26 years older than herself.

On her 2022 podcast, Witches Anonymous, she explained that she’d previously assume older men in such relationships were looking for someone naive, and younger women were only interested in money. She admitted she’d think, “This older man wants some young woman with no opinions, and that younger woman is obviously a gold digger.”

However, she’s now changed her perspective.

She said that being in this relationship herself has made her realize how judgmental she used to be. She now wonders why she was so quick to criticize others simply finding love, especially since love can look different for everyone. She now believes that even if a relationship doesn’t fit traditional expectations, it’s still valid.

Get ready for this: Actor Stanley Tucci, known for The Devil Wears Prada, recently revealed he almost broke up with his wife early in their relationship. He explained on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs in 2023, “I’m 21 years older than she is and I didn’t want to feel old for the rest of my life!” However, he quickly realized she was someone truly exceptional.

Sienna Miller and Oli Green are aware that some people might find their relationship confusing. Oli explained to Vogue that their 15-year age difference could make it hard for others to understand, but emphasized that their connection has been filled with love and happiness. Sienna added that, ultimately, they don’t feel the need for anyone else’s approval or understanding, stating that matters of the heart can’t be forced or explained.

Jeff Goldblum shared a funny story about a recent conversation with his wife, Emilie, who is 30 years younger than him. He asked her which Beatle he’d be, and she playfully responded with ‘Rex Harrison,’ confusing him with a character from My Fair Lady which they had seen the day before. She quickly realized her mistake and meant George Harrison. Goldblum joked that this mix-up highlights their generational difference, but overall, their life together is going wonderfully.

She also doesn’t feel pressured to defend the 20-year age difference between herself and her partner. In a 2013 interview with Glamour, she explained that she finds his experience and character very appealing. She emphasized that their connection goes beyond age, stating that while careers fluctuate, having a supportive partner is what truly matters. “If you have someone at home who thinks you’re the greatest person in the world, that keeps you going,” she said.

Katharine McPhee doesn’t seem bothered by criticism of the 35-year age difference between her and her husband. Speaking on the Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy Podcast in 2023, she acknowledged people’s initial reactions but explained, “Things are never as they appear.” Ultimately, she said she’s simply happy and in love with their relationship, and that’s what matters most.

Kristin Cavallari addressed the criticism she received for dating someone 13 years younger, Mark Estes. On her podcast, Let’s Be Honest, she explained that she never actively sought out a relationship with a 24-year-old, and even previously felt that 30-year-olds were too young for her.

She acknowledged how the relationship might appear to others, but emphasized that Mark was mature for his age and that a person’s age doesn’t define them. Kristin believes age is just a number, and that life experiences and upbringing are more important factors in determining maturity.

However, she later revealed that she and Mark ended their relationship.

She explained on her podcast that she believes he needs to grow and experience life on his own. She feels those young adult years are incredibly important for self-discovery, and she’s already seen how much can change in that time. Despite the breakup, she considers their relationship the best she’s ever had and hopes he’ll eventually see that ending things was the right decision. She even believes he’ll eventually appreciate her choice and understand it was for his own good.

When George Clooney first developed feelings for Amal, he wasn’t sure if she felt the same way. He admitted on The Howard Stern Show that he was hesitant to pursue things too quickly. He worried their age difference – he’s 17 years older than her – might be a problem, and that she might see him as too old. Luckily, Amal felt the same way, and the couple married in 2014.

The former Bachelor contestant, who is 18 years older than his wife, believes age is less important than physical attraction. He shared this on his The Viall Files podcast in March 2025, stating, “Looks matter when it comes to age differences.”
