In a not so shocking admission, Clay Aiken made his coming out announcement on the cover of People magazine that will hit newstands this Friday. We are also getting a first peek at his young son. The new father of Parker Foster Aiken has dodged the issue of his sexuality since being named runner up on the hit reality TV show American Idol.

Aiken has been busy with a new CD entitled On My Way Here and has signed on to appear in his second run on Broadway in Monty Python’s Spamalot. His best friend and mother of his newborn child is record producer Jaymes Foster who lives in Los Angeles with the baby.

Clay Aiken’s Son Born at 08:08 on 08/08/08

Clay Aiken has a son. Parker Foster Aiken was born at an undisclosed hospital in North Carolina on August 8, 2008 at 08:08 a.m. That is a whole lot of 8’s – reported to be a very lucky combination. The Chinese chose that date to open the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

Baby momma is music producer Jaymes Foster, sister of David Foster. The young lad weighed in at 6 pounds 2 ounces and measured 19 inches long.

According to Aiken – no hypens should be applied to their son’s name. The couple gave him a first name, a middle name and a last name. The baby was conceived by in-vitro fertilization.

Foster has helped Aiken with several of his albums and has opened her home to him in Los Angeles whenever he is in the area.

Clay Aiken is Jaymes Foster’s Baby Daddy

Idol runner-up and Broadway performer Clay Aiken, 29, has reportedly fathered a child by record producer Jaymes Foster. She is the 50 year old sister of record mogul David Foster. Jaymes has worked with Clay on several of his albums and has opened her home to him whenever he is in L.A. The two have reportedly been good friends for several years.

The mother-to-be was artificially inseminated and will be giving birth to the child in August. She was previously married for 23 years. This is her first pregnancy.

Aiken chooses not to discuss his sexuality but admits that when rumors that he was gay surfaced during his “Idol” run, it was a tough time. He said:

It can be difficult initially. I think when you get into anything and you’re not used to people scrutinizing this, that or the other… it bothers you. After awhile you kind of just say, ‘Forget this… This is not who I am, this is not about me, what I want to do is be a singer, want to be an entertainer, and forget all that stuff.’”

Clay has a new album titled On My Way Here. He recently finished up a three month stint on Broadway in Spamalot. The musical tells the tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table on their quest from God for the Holy Grail – with a short stop in the dazzling Spam-filled land of Camelot.

Clay Aiken on Thin Ice

Well I guess he’s not really on “thin ice” but Clay Aiken seems to be having a hard time keeping his balance. Thank goodness that Olympic Silver Medalist Sasha Cohen is on hand to show Clay some moves on the ice.

American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken is teaming up with Cohen in Capitol One Celebration on Ice in Las Vegas. I am not sure what Clay’s role will be in the production – from the looks of the picture, maybe he should stick to singing.
