A month later, in October, she opened up about her dad’s then-girlfriend on the red carpet of the BLEUSALT Launch Celebration in Malibu. “She’s amazing. I really like her. She’s awesome,” Erin told PEOPLE of McPhee. “My dad is kind of a hopeless romantic, and Katharine’s awesome. We really, really like her, and we’ve known her for a really long time. And if he’s happy, we’re happy,” she said. After months of keeping their relationship low key, the couple went public with their romance when they stepped out together at the 2018 Met Gala. Close
