Parker Foster Aiken: Clay Aiken Has A Baby

Clay Aiken confirmed it on his webiste. He's a dad.

TMZ reports Clay Aiken's baby was born:

Clay Aiken's mother told local Raleigh, N.C. TV station that the "American Idol" runner-up was now the proud papa of a bouncing baby boy named Parker Foster Aiken.

Aiken's BFF, 50-year-old record producer Jaymes Foster, gave birth at 8:08 AM this morning in an "undisclosed location."

Aiken's mother Faye said the dark-haired Parker weighed in at 6 lbs. 2 oz and was 19" long. She says her son is "smiling from ear-to-ear."

News of Jaymes' pregnancy leaked out in May. The pair, friends since they met on "American Idol," plan to raise the baby together.

On his website Aiken announced:

"HE'S HERE!" Aiken writes. "My dear friend, Jaymes, and I are so excited to announce the birth of Parker Foster Aiken (No hyphens. One first name. One middle name. One last name.)"

"Wow ... 8:08 ... 08/08/08," added Aiken. "The little man is healthy, happy, and as loud as his daddy. Mama Jaymes is doing quite well also."

If Clay Aiken had a baby, that makes him the second man to give birth this year! Why are headlines so often badly written??? I just don't get why it's so hard......

To answer some of the questions below:

From People.com -----

"In May, it was confirmed that Jaymes Foster, 50, became pregnant via in vitro fertilization.

"Though they are not romantically linked, Clay and Jaymes plan to raise the child together. The two met when Aiken competed on Idol, and Foster – who is the sister of legendary music producer David Foster – has produced several of his albums."

I'd love to know the political party affiliation of some of the posters below whose attempts at humor are filled with such intolerance and hate. I'm afraid I'd be so disappointed.

What a heartwarming story.

Michael Jackson

[unmutual]

This only makes the guy (?) even more disturbing.

[MalloMel]

Ouch! That must have hurt a lot.

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

Really??

[FeelinGroovy]

He looks like he spends waaaay too much time in front of the mirror.

[the964kid]

I thought he was gay. Is there any evidence this went down naturally?? Looks like an MJ repeat situation to me.

[Quaoar]

Being gay wouldn't necessarily prevent him from fathering children the old-fashioned way. Jim McGreevey and Ted Haggard among many others had kids.

Payment, artificial insemination, gestation, birth

In that order.

[GG1985]

No, It appears the order was:

professional relationship; great friends relationship; unmarried 49 year-old woman wants a child and chooses sperm from her very best friend: a smart, talented, UNICEF ambassador who wants to be a great father; in vitro fertilization; gestation: a baby boy!

Congratulations!

Well he always did have the hips for it.

[jgalvan]

Did he save the placenta?

[sufi66]

Didn't know a man could give birth.

[andvoodoo2]

The mother is 50?!!!!!!!
I don't know which is more incredible - that the mother is 50 years old or that Aiken fathered a child.

[jnik]

Is John Edwards the father?

[the964kid]

Lol!
