Katharine McPhee jokes this is the 'real reason' she married David Foster

The singer expressed admiration for a song written by Foster

Katharine McPhee has offered a silly explanation for marrying David Foster.

On Sunday, singer Charlie Puth tweeted about the song "I Have Nothing" sung by Whitney Houston for "The Bodyguard," which was produced and co-written by Foster, 70.

"The second chord (E minor something) in the intro of 'I Have Nothing' by Whitney Houston will always give me chills," wrote Puth, 28. "That warm pad under the DX7 piano when it comes in wowwwwwwwwww."

The musical moment seemed to have had an effect on McPhee as well, as she expressed similar sentiments on Twitter.

The "Smash" star, 36, responded to Puth's tweet with a message of her own.

"The real reason I married David," she joked.

McPhee and Foster just celebrated their first wedding anniversary on Sunday.

McPhee, a former "American Idol" contestant, shared photos and videos from the couple’s wedding on Instagram to mark the occasion. She also shared a video of the moment she first tried on her wedding dress.
