Clay Aiken Is a Father

For some, today is a lucky day. For Clay Aiken, 08/08/08 is even more special.

The former American Idol contestant and music producer Jaymes Foster welcomed a baby boy Friday morning, the singer said in a statement on his Web site. [...]

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.

Many of you will recall that his son was conceived via artificial insemination. While not necessarily the most conventional situation, both are very committed and excited about this new adventure called parenthood.

This is what Clay posted on his Web site:

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.)

Parker was born at a hospital in North Carolina just this morning at 8:08 AM. Wow... 8:08 ..08/08/08

Weighed in at 6 lbs 2 oz and measured 19 inches

The little man is healthy, happy, and as loud as his daddy. Mama Jaymes is doing quite well also.

The Aiken family, the Foster family, and the Parker family are all thrilled.

We'll share more at some point in the future. Love to you all!

Congrats, Clay. DailyIdolTV wishes you the best. Better break out the lullabies!
