I have a really strange affection for Selma Blair. It’s difficult to even pinpoint when it started or why I have such a general fondness for her as a person/actress/celebrity. I guess it’s because I think she’s underrated as an actress and I feel like she should have had a better career. I also appreciate that she’s not constantly in our faces, trying to launch herself as an entrepreneur or healthy-eating expert or whatever. Her personal life is pretty low-key too – she split from her partner Jason Bleick in 2012, and she has a 4-year-old son, Arthur Saint. I was startled to realize that she’s 43 years old too – she could easily pass for 10 years younger. So, given that she’s 43, is it a big deal that she was out on a date with 66-year-old David Foster? Yes, that David Foster. Yolanda Foster’s ex and Oscar-nominated songwriter.
New couple alert? Selma Blair and famed music producer David Foster were spotted eating dinner together at Craig’s in West Hollywood on Tuesday, March 1. The meeting between the actress and estranged husband of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Yolanda Foster wasn’t just friends grabbing food; it was indeed a romantic date, a source confirms to Us Weekly.
“It was definitely a date!” a source tells Us of Blair, 43, and Foster, 66, taking in some alone time at the upscale West Hollywood eatery.
Joining the unexpected twosome mid-meal for a brief chat, according to Radar? None other than Caitlyn Jenner, the former spouse of Kris Jenner — currently portrayed (in her younger years) by Blair on FX’s The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. (Foster’s estranged wife, Yolanda, 52, remains close with Kris.)
But there are even more uncanny connections. Prior to her 24-year marriage with Kris, 60, Caitlyn was wed to Foster’s second wife, Linda Thompson, from 1981 to 1986. The Grammy winner and Thompson, 65, married in 1991, and Foster briefly became stepdad to Caitlyn and Thompson¹s sons, Brody and Brandon Jenner, until the couple divorced in 2005.
Blair is the first woman Foster has been seen stepping out with following his December 2015 split from RHOBH standout Yolanda, who he was married to for four years.
I was going to say that Selma could do better, but honestly, I have no idea what her type really is, and I have no idea if this was anything other than a really bizarre blind date or something else. The whole thing just feels weird to me. And I’m less bothered by the 23-year age difference (although that bugs) than I am by the idea that Selma might be getting serious with a man with four ex-wives. Like, married and divorced four times? That’s a dealbreaker.

First of all,she looks fantastic. Secondly, big ol’ red flags by a man whose been married four times. After the third, it’s not them it’s you.
Yolanda is a nutcase. I don’t blame him for getting out.
Granted,she is a little nutty.
Still, he should have had enough sense not to marry her then.
Dude does not like to be alone. What was it Liz Taylor said, I married all the men I slept with. He just like being married.
Why, Selma, WHY?!
Selma was really good in Purple Violets. The whole movie was very good.
I feel the same way about her. I’ve always liked her, though I can’t articulate why. She just seems cool. She might be a total nut job though, I really don’t know. Perhaps these two are the perfect pairing. I don’t know anything about him either.
I liked her long before but my feelings grew for her after she stood up to Charlie Sheen’s antics & then he got her fired & tried to drag her name through the mud.
Ohhhhh YEAH! I completely forgot about that! I’m sticking with “she seems cool.”
Foster is definitely not relationship material. He might be great fling material. He should try that. He should stop trying to have relationships because he sucks at them.
It is a little gross and a little funny at the same time.
I like how the article says he was briefly their stepdad. 91-05? Sounds like he was probably more involved than Caitlyn ever was
Yes he was more involved with the Jenner boys at the detriment to his own daughters. He pretty much was an absentee dad to his own girls because Lynda did not want to share. Not sure if that’s true or not because that came from his memoir. This is ironic since Lynda always complained that Bruce was too wrapped up with the Kartrashians to be a father to his own kids.
Yeah a 14 year stint as a step-dad is not brief.
I’ve always liked Selma. Didn’t she just play Kris Jenner in that OJ thing
The unfortunate reality of dating in LA when you are a 40+ single woman…even if you are Selma Blair. I know so many amazing, over forty single LA women. They all say the same thing: if you look good, no problem dating until you are 39. Once you turn 40? It’s only men in their 50s and 60s.
Heck that’s starting to become the normal everywhere. Many Men feel entitled to have younger women, it’s a status and ego thing. I have friends in their 30s and early 40s who have great personalities, take care of themselves, and are still having a hard time dating men within their own age bracket. The men want younger. It’s sad. I can’t even imagine how women in their 50s and 60s feel.
Sigh… it’s “Casper the Ghost” time. You’re basically invisible to men your own age. Of course, I’m a spring chicken to guys in their 70s *shudder* 😉
I am 50 and live in one of the worst (red) states there is. Once you turn 40, you are less than dog meat. A male friend told me, in all honesty, that a woman’s only shot at true love is between 18 and 28. After that, the light grows dimmer and dimmer until blackout. Sad, but true, I’ve never been in love and I’ll never know what it’s like to be in love. I know 17 other women who are in the alone and loveless category. At least we can still laugh and dream, all by ourselves. Dating is not an option for us. We dine alone. We go out alone. No one notices us, ever. We’re the new generation of The Christine Chubbuck Dateless Wonders Club. The last guy to ask me out is age 75. No man under 65 will look at me. I’m 5’3 and weigh 110 pounds. I’m considered a monster to most men my age. Oh, well. Next life, we say. This one is nearly done. That’s the good part. Loneliness is a silent killer. You learn to cry, quietly and often, and then die long before you draw your last breath.
@ Dinah; this makes me really sad.
@Dinah: I send you big big warm hugs… and at 50S your life is far far away to be over.
Come over to France… men date their own age here and 50s women (my aunties) are having a blast in the dating game ;)!
Sad, repulsive and true… But women should know better and don’t date crusty 60 yrs olds when they are in their 40s that should start solving the problem.
When I was 25 and hot I had NO desire to date a man in his 40’s, and up. Why waste my hot on an old man? lol
I think they do it for money but other situations the men are not rich and its still happening .. I don’t get it. I am 43 and while married, if I single even then I would have zero desire to date a 60+ man.
Crazy.
@Hadleyb:
Hear you! I am 29 years and no desire at all to date men who are in their late 30s… I would have the time for that , but dating my age would not come back 😉
I also think it’s for the money… it’s sad when will we see a time were women as a whole would pursue their own goals and not want money by association.
I feel depressed…
Thank you. I have seriously considered moving to another country, one that appreciates an individual’s humanity. If I survive my medical illness this year, I am vowing to leave the US and not return because of its warped value system. Like they sing in my favorite play, I never envisioned this hell that I’m living (only it’s existing, not living). I am weary of being told I’m ugly, lonely and old. Thank you again.
this is revolting!
I think she is acting as a beard.
That man is awful! On the RHOBH he appeared pompous, arrogant, and showy. Yolanda didn’t help matters by making him her “king”. I hope this is just a fling.
The irony of calling your man “King” just to be dumped as soon as you get sick and he doesn’t want to be your nurse…..new term to encourage him “Fling King”.
Gotta’ say, Selma, you can do so much better. I don’t belieive she can’t find a nice man her age even in LA. I think she’s impressed with him and as much as I like her, I can see her thinking she’s so sophisticated, she should be in his circle.
Selma is dating a man old enough to be her dad.
Foster is dating a woman young enough to be his daughter.
Any way you slice it, it’s icky-poo.
Eh she’s 43 though, not 20. She should know what she’s getting into at this point. I think the age gap thing gets less creepy as the younger participant gets older.
no. The age gap no matter the age of the participants says very much creepy… Even for Jerry Hall.
Its saying like that that condemn women to date creepers keeps once they turn 40 (not aimed at your personal comment)
And it’s creepy by just looking at them (even for Jerry Hall)… For Selma Blair it’s super shocking she is still hot and young… and she dates THAT!
If she’s 43, I’m 832. Dayum.
She’s younger than at least two of his daughters. Ugh
Hell Boy III
Is it weird that she is currently playing Kris K. and dating a man who was once stepfather to the same boys that Kris K. was stepmother to?
Does this make sense?
4 times married and divorced is a red flag for me. He is talented, but so self absorbed. ..
Grody. I think all women should refuse to go out with David. He looks like an evil, crocs-wearing gnome statue. Aside from that, he also treats women like 💩💩💩
