Erin Foster was born on August 23, 1982, in Los Angeles, California, to record producer David Foster and former model Rebecca Dyer. Raised primarily by her mother after her parents’ divorce, she attended boarding school in Switzerland. Her early career involved acting, with appearances in various television shows and films.

Foster transitioned behind the scenes, becoming a staff writer for the NBC sitcom “The New Normal” in 2012. A significant milestone in her career was co-creating, writing, and starring in the VH1 mockumentary series “Barely Famous” (2015-2016) with her sister Sara Foster, which satirized reality television. This project ran for two seasons and established her as a creative force. Following this, from 2017 to 2020, she and her sister served as co-creative heads for the dating app Bumble, expanding their influence into the technology sector.

The series was renewed for a second season in October 2024, marking a significant achievement in her career.
