Clay Aiken Welcomes a Baby Boy!
American Idol star Clay Aiken is officially a father!
Clay, 29, and music producer friend Jaymes Foster, welcomed a baby boy in his home-state of North Carolina Friday morning, Aiken’s mother Faye told local TV station WRAL.
Faye reported the boy’s name is Parker Foster Aiken, and was born at 8:08 a.m. weighing 6 pounds, 2 ounces. He was 19 inches long.
Back in May, it was first reported that Jaymes Foster was artificially inseminated with Clay’s sperm and his rep later confirmed that. Clay and Jaymes will reportedly raise the child together even though they are not romantically linked.
Congratulations to Clay and Jaymes!

Oh and all this stuff about him being gay, its all an assumption. He has NEVER come out and said he was gay. No i am not a fan of clay, I just think these BS speculations are stupid
And thank you Passerby, WELL PUT!
Funny, her names is Jaymes.
I think Clay will be a very good father. I think he really loves children. The mother is probably a lesbian or an older woman who cannot sustain relationships and just wanted a baby. Since she obviously has a deep friendship with Clay, she probably knows he would make the best dad, so they did this.
I don’t feel sorry for them. The baby will know his father and these people have money and extended family, so the rearing of the kid should go well.
Congrats to them.
he has a sick mind…to have that desire to father a child invitro with a 50 year old is really creepy…clay has not even made peace with his own father and is still bad mouthing the dead man so i don’t know what kind of father he’ll be…very weird and sicko for sure…
i thought he was gay?! 0__o
The ignorance on this site is tremendous. Congratulations to Clay and Jaymes!
congrats to the parents - the boy carries both parents’ names without a hyphen whoo-hoo, aren’t you tired of all the hyphenated names ? who cares mom and dad aren’t married? it’s the new black isn’t it?
Yuck! Eeeeewwwwww! He bothers me!
its been 9 months already? wth!
and ewww thats gross, pedo face
WELL, I agree with Numbers # 12 and # 16 # 24……….. Clay will make an awesome father, and that is no-one else’s business. He is not asking anybody else to raise his son, or have anything to do with him. Why pick on an innocent child, for goodness sake. It’s like all you people who pick on Suri Cruise, like she has a say on anything that goes on in her life. My Gosh, these are children!!!! Clay has done alot of good things since American Idol, and has stood up for himself through it all. I for one am proud of him for that. He could have packed his bags and gone home. He has turned out to be a fine actor according to critics, AND a singer. CONGRATULATIONS CLAY AND JAYMES!!!!
I think it’s gallant for Clay to want to be a parent before he gets up there in age, and I respect him for his choice, Clay will be an outstanding father due to he works with kids. And so what that you assume what he is oh so it’s okay for druggies to make babies and they get respect but they can’t take care of their children. A decent person chooses to have a child regardless of how it’s done and you condone him for that because of what you all are assuming! Here is a greast reminder: Never ASSUME for you tend to make an A** of yourself so don’t never assume unless the facts are proven. It’s also not true that because they’ve been beaten that they turn out to be gays or leses it all depends on what genes the child has and chooses to do into adult hood. DON’T ASSUME GET THE FACTS!!!
congrats to clay and james! Parker Foster Aiken…love the name…love clay aiken
Whats people’s problem?
He’s just a guy, who felt it was time to have a child. He and his friend got together, they have a baby and that baby is gunna have so much love and care.
Parker is an adorable name.
Congrats to mummy & daddy!
very happy for Clay, Jaymes and baby Parker. It’s a great name and this little boy is a very lucky young man. Health and happiness to the three of them
I think it’s wonderful……. What is the big deal with you people….. He is entitled to be happy and I am happy for him.
I’m a mom with 2 children and I have 2 grandchildren.
Thats sooo great!!!! He’s gonna be a woderful father!!! And for all of you haters its one thing to call someone gay but it a whole different thing to say he’s gonna abuse the child!!! Think before you say something cuz it may really hurt someone!!
Wow - so that whole freaky baby story was true?!
I’m so gullible - I always believed Clay. I thought he was a nice, honest guy and that the slimy tabloids were full of lies and fabricated stories. I guess the joke’s on me. The tabloids DO tell the truth after all. How depressing : (
If a 50-year-old woman decides to go to the expense and trouble of IVF to make a pregnancy possible, carry the child to term, at considerable risk to her life and health, and be the primary custodial parent, it’s a pretty sure bet that SHE was the one who was set on having a child while she still could.
Maybe Clay wholeheartedly supported Jaymes’s plan, but there’s no way she’d have gone along with it unless SHE herself not only wanted a baby but wanted to actually carry and bear it.
Methinks the people who already disliked Clay, for whatever reasons, are now choosing to frame every aspect of this situation as “support” for their preconceived biases.
A man being involved with an older woman is “weird” or “creepy?” NOT
A couple using IVF to conceive a child means one of them is gay? NOT
A couple using IVF to conceive a child means they’re not having sex with each other? NOT
A woman choosing to become a mother without being married to the father, even though he will be involved in the child’s life, is really bizarre? NOT
As for Jaymes (not her real name) Foster being an odd name for a woman, how many men do you know of who are named “Jaymes?”
(Not to mention that “men’s names” like Taylor, Ashley, Andie, Billy, Sidney, Elliot, Michael, etc., have often been adopted by women - sometimes to the point where people come to think of them as “girls’ names.”
Congrats, Gayken !
This is what I think. I don’t know anything about their “relationship” nor do I want to. To speculate either way would be pretty hurtful to both Jaymes and Clay. Parker will grow up to be a happy healthy baby with lots of love. I’ll admit I was a little surprised to hear about the circumstances regarding the pregnancy (Jaymes’ age, etc.) But at the very least at least she’s a classy lady. What was he supposed to do? Get Paris Hilton pregnant?
well…i think he has the right to do WHATEVER he wants to do with his life. no one has the rights to say %$^*@*#^ about the way he lives and manage himself.
esp for those who said he has a @%$#&#$ kinda face, look into the mirror yourself. you won’t know if there’s other people somewhere out there say the same thing about you.
congrats clay!
