Foster and Bourque started dating in May 2024 and recently celebrated their one-year anniversary, which the country singer celebrated on Instagram. “It’s been an amazing year and you’ve been beside me every step of the way,” he gushed. “Happy 1 year anniversary. I love you so much.”
The couple met in high school, and Bourque was by Foster’s side amid his American Idol journey. In addition to showing up in the crowd at several of the live shows, she also traveled to Hawaii with him for his Top 24 performance earlier this year.
After Foster’s audition episode aired, Bourque revealed how proud she was of him on Instagram, writing, “EEEKKK!!! He’s going to Hollywood!!!! SO proud and grateful to be by your side on this awesome journey. You amaze me everyday and I am so lucky I get to love a cutie patootie like you.”
The teenage singer has been adamant that he wants to keep up the momentum from the show by releasing new music and playing live shows in the weeks to come. His first post-Idol single is his original song “Tell That Angel I Love Her,” which he wrote about his friend Maggie Dunn, who was killed in a car accident.
