Meet the mystery girl behind the country crooner’s biggest cheers
During the live broadcast of American Idol on Sunday, May 4, country singer John Foster made a revelation that sent shockwaves through fans across the nation — he has a girlfriend. The confession came quietly, in just a single sentence, but it was enough to stir a wave of emotions among viewers.
After delivering a soulful performance of Bonnie Raitt’s “Something to Talk About” during the Top 8 episode, Foster received roaring applause. Judge Luke Bryan noted the loudest screams were coming from backstage — prompting John to casually mention they were from his girlfriend, along with his cousin and close friends.
That offhand comment broke countless hearts — especially from fans who had been wondering about the handsome country star’s relationship status. So who’s the lucky girl?

“EEEKKK!!! He’s going to Hollywood!!!! SO proud and grateful to be by your side on this awesome journey. You amaze me every day and I am so lucky I get to love a cutie patootie like you.”
Their bond has remained strong throughout the competition. Brooklyn even joined John in Hawaii for his Top 24 performance, encouraging fans to vote with this enthusiastic reminder:
“Hawaii episode comes on TONIGHT!! Don’t forget to vote for JF to put him in the TOP 20.”
