It’s official: Clay Aiken’s a baby daddy
There’s a new (little) man in Clay Aiken’s life.
On Friday, the Season 2 American Idol runner-up announced on his Web site that his first child, Parker Foster Aiken, was born in North Carolina. The 29-year-old fathered the child with friend and music producer Jaymes Foster. The two met during Aiken’s time on Idol.
Since appearing on the FOX series, Aiken has become one of the most talked-about finalists ever to appear on the show. His legions of fans — Claymates — have supported him through multiple album releases, a Broadway run in Monty Python’s Spamalot and, now, becoming a father.
“My dear friend, Jaymes, and I are so excited to announce the birth of Parker Foster Aiken,” Aiken wrote on his site, adding that Parker is “healthy, happy and as loud as his daddy.”
Even though there was a great deal of buzz around Aiken’s pending fatherhood earlier this year, it will be interesting to see if that buzz continues post-birth. Will the first pictures of the baby be as valuable as some other celebrity offspring? It’s not likely to be a Brangelina situation, but you never know.
