An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This assembly includes a stationary structure, a rotating structure, a magnetic-foil bearing and a cooling system. The rotating structure is rotatable about an axis. The magnetic-foil bearing radially supports the rotating structure within the stationary structure. The magnetic-foil bearing includes a magnetic bearing stator, a magnetic bearing rotor and a foil bearing. The foil bearing is disposed radially between the magnetic bearing stator and the magnetic bearing rotor. The cooling system includes a cooling circuit configured to deliver cooling air to at least a first bearing component. The first bearing component is configured as or otherwise includes one of the magnetic bearing stator, the magnetic bearing rotor and the foil bearing.
