Michael Tweed/ZUMA Press, WB Well, that's one way to show the measure of a man.
Clay Aiken is expanding the ranks of the Claynation by one, expecting a child with music producer Jaymes Foster this summer.
The sister of music kingpin David Foster, the baby mama is a Grammy winner who worked with Aiken on several albums, including A Thousand Different Ways and his most recent release, On My Way Here.
A rep for David Foster confirmed what TMZ first reported this morning, that the couple certain to be dubbed Faiken conceived via artificial insemination and their progeny is due in August.
"She looks great, glowing and very happy. She and Clay have been good friends for a long time," the rep told The Insider.
There was no immediate comment from Aiken's camp.
The couple has kept a decidedly low-profile. Indeed, until news of the impending spawn broke today, there had been virtually no clue that the two had made sweet music anywhere other than the recording studio.
This will be the first child for the 29-year-old Aiken.
Foster, whose age is not public knowledge but has been pegged at 50 in some published reports, was married once before with no children. According to court records, her split from hubby Lou Leeds Levy was finalized last year; she filed for divorce in October 2005.
In addition to her two-plus decades in the music industry, she also appeared, as Jaymes Foster-Levy, as a judge on the WB reality show Popstars and on Star Search.
