Thanks to his lengthy career composing music and her spot on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, David Foster and Yolanda Hadid were quite the power couple when they were married. After tying the knot in 2011, they got divorced in 2017, and fans of RHOBH were stunned to hear that the seemingly happy pair were splitting up. Yolanda doted on David in every scene, and they appeared to be totally in love.

David Foster, now married to his fifth wife, has six children, and some of them have been outspoken about his time with the former Real Housewife. Here's why David Foster's children aren't big fans of Yolanda Hadid.

According to Nicki Swift, Sara and Erin Foster don't like Yolanda Hadid. The publication noted that although they didn't comment on their father David Foster's marriage, once they knew that David and Yolanda were splitting up, they began sharing their opinions. Sara and Erin think that Yolanda's approach to Lyme disease is odd, and this seems to be the main problem that they have.

E! News reported that Sara and Erin Foster appeared on the podcast Dirty, Sexy, Funny hosted by Jenny McCarthy and discussed how they feel about Yolanda Hadid.

Erin said that when people suffer from an illness, they often hide how bad they feel and they want their battle to be private. She said, "No one wants everyone to know how sick they are and everyone to see how much they're struggling, and when that seems to be the focus, making everyone see how sick you are, that's just confusing to someone who's trying to be supportive."

According to E! News, Sara said of Yolanda:

"Look, this is how I feel. We don't comment to our friends on Yolanda's health. That's not for us to comment on. Only she knows her journey, but what I will say is if you're capable of continuing to be on a reality show, you're not dying. Let's be honest."

It's never easy when someone's parents get divorced, and seeing them with a new spouse can be difficult and painful. However, Sara and Erin Foster have otherwise been supportive of their father's dating life, and they genuinely want him to be in a good partnership.
