Less than two weeks after John Foster took America by storm as the runner-up of American Idol Season 23, the rising country star had something even sweeter to celebrate: one full year of love with his beautiful girlfriend, Brooklyn Bourque.

On Wednesday, May 28, Foster took to his Instagram Story to honor the milestone—sharing a fresh photo of the couple from their Memorial Day weekend and penning a message that melted hearts everywhere:
“It’s been an incredible year, and you’ve been by my side every step of the way. Happy one-year anniversary. I love you so much.”`Generated image
Brooklyn, who quietly stood strong beside Foster throughout his Idol journey, was seen cheering him on from the audience during several live shows. She even joined him at Cajun Country Jam right after the finale, capturing a video of his performance and sharing it proudly on her own Instagram.

That performance marked Foster’s first post-Idol appearance, and it was just the beginning of a whirlwind schedule. On June 4, he’ll take the stage in Nashville with fellow contestants from his season and American Idol alumni—and on June 7, he will make his debut at the Grand Ole Opry, turning a lifelong dream into reality.

“The Opry has been my No. 1 dream since I started singing. Now, thanks to your support and by the grace of God, it’s coming true. I will NEVER be able to express how grateful I am,” Foster shared emotionally.

And amid all the spotlight, the roaring crowds, and the career milestones—John Foster’s heart remains anchored to one person. One year of love behind them, and a lifetime ahead.
