Katharine McPhee and David Foster are still at a loss following the tragic death of their son’s nanny, Yadira Calito.
The couple broke their silence about the incident during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Thursday.
“It’s been tough for [McPhee],” Foster, 73, said. “Yeah, it’s been tough. She’s managing.”
McPhee, 39, chimed in: “Thank you.”
Calito died at age 55 after being hit at a Toyota dealership in California’s San Fernando Valley on Aug. 9. She was waiting for her car to be serviced when she was hit.
The driver, an 84-year-old woman from Mission Hills, California, was not hurt but injured two employees and a customer. According to a LAPD press release, the driver accelerated for unknown reasons inside the building.
Amid the news, McPhee abruptly left Foster’s “Hitman” tour in Asia.
“Dearest Jakarta fans, it’s with heavy heart I announce I have to miss our final two shows of our Asia run,” she shared via Instagram at the time. “David and I have had a horrible tragedy in our family and at least one of us needs to get back home to our family. Please know how sorry I am and how much I wish to return one day and perform for you all. Love Katharine.””
The “American Idol” alum and McFoster, who married in London in June 2019, are parents od son Rennie, 2.
Calito was survived by her fiancé Jaime, children Diana, Luis, Juan and Pamela, and eight grandchildren. She also had three grandchildren on the way.
“Yaya’s absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of those she touched,” her obituary read.
