The chosen one has arrived. Well, the “chosen one” if you’re one of the 736 women over 44-years-old who call themselves the Claymates. Yes I find that disturbingly creepy too. Though I find the idea of inflicting Clay Aiken’s genes on a baby to be kinda mean, I’m actually happy for him. And just teasing about the genes, of course.
Clay knocked up his best friend and music producer Jaymes Foster the old fashioned way: with a test tube. Or maybe a turkey baster, you never know. Clay and Jaymes are just good friends, and decided they both wanted kids and to raise them together, even though their relationship is platonic. This morning their son Parker Foster Aiken was born.
Good news, Claymates: the Claynation has welcomed its first heir. Clay Aiken and platonic baby-making partner Jaymes Foster welcomed their first child together in North Carolina this morning, the singer’s rep confirmed to E! News.
The American Idol alum’s mother turned proud grandma first announced the new arrival this morning. Faye Aiken told Raleigh radio station WRAL that her son’s longtime producer gave birth to son Parker Foster Aiken at 8:08 a.m. in an undisclosed location in the singer’s home state. Parker tipped the scales at 6 pounds, 2 ounces and measured in at 19 inches.
Faye Aiken also broke the news that the Aiken progeny did not inherit dad’s fiery red mop, instead saying that he has dark hair and that, upon seeing him, the “Measure of a Man” singer was “smiling from ear to ear.”
Although theirs is not a romantic relationship, the duo plan to raise the baby together.
[From E! News]
I think their decision is damn cool. Their son will have two parents that love him and wanted him and will probably end up with a much more stable home than a lot of kids raised by parents with a more traditional relationship. They downside is he’ll have t hear lullabies sung by Clay Aiken, and unlike the rest of us little Parker won’t be able to turn off the CD. But I’m guessing he’s going to be one well-loved kid. Congratulations to Clay and Parker.

Isn’t Jaymes Foster nearly 50?

How bizarre! If this doesn’t seal the deal that Clay is really gay for Claymates than I don’t know what will.

How nice. Miss Gaiken borrowed Tomcat’s turkey baster.

CB, don’t you mean “Congratulations to Clay and Jaymes”?
A baby is a true blessing and they are very lucky to have one!
-
well, ten fingers, ten toes and a wee pee! congrats!
(i do mean the child, by the way)
-
At least he’ll probably be an excellent singer!
-
Congrats to the happy parents, Im sure that Clay is over the moon..he loves kids…Im a Clay fan, but I don’t consider myself a Claymate..they are kind of creepy!
-
Wait a minute - Clay Aiken’s momma’s name is FAYE Aiken? For serious?
-
Cool! Congratulations to the new parents!
I wouldn’t count on it not being a redhead, though, you can’t tell from that infant hair, usually they lose it and it can come in a totally different color.

Clay is one weird looking MOFO.
-
I’m totally confused, who is Jaymes?
-
Speaking of in vitro fertilization….
-
Kolby, I’d nearly bet the house Clay’s dad is Ray….
-
Ah, isn’t he pretty!
-
Just as well women don’t need a man to get pregnant anymore…..Clay’s baby mummy didn’t anyway
-
I guess his 3 hr sex session with gay porn actor did enough to set him straight.
Or-Can you say sperm donor???
-
Congratulations to the both of you. From what I’ve read about Clay (very caring and great with children), I think his son is a very lucky boy.
-
Congratulations to Clay and Jaymes!!! I have seen Clay around children and he is a natural. What does it matter his sexual orientation? That has nothing to do with his parenting skills, or his ability to successfully raise a child. He will be an awesome dad, and the mother of his child will remain an active participant, I heard. She lives in his apartment in New York. Can’t wait to see pictures of him.

Good for them, I guess. *biting tongue*
I usually like the mother’s maiden name as a child’s middle name, but I’m not feeling “Foster” - it’s like naming a child James Adoption Kaiser.
