Michael Tweed/ZUMA Press, WB 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 American Idol alum's mother-turned-proud grandma, announced 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 homestate.
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 that he has dark hair and that, upon seeing him, the "Measure of a Man" singer was "smiling from ear-to-ear."
Per the elder Aiken, mom, dad and baby are all doing fine.
Foster's pregnancy was first confirmed by her brother, legendary music kingpin David Foster, back in May. He verified what everyone was thinking and announced that the "couple" conceived the child through artificial insemination.
Aiken, 29, and Jaymes Foster, whose age has been pegged somewhere around the 50-year mark, have been friends for years. She worked on several Aiken albums, including A Thousand Different Ways and On My Way Here.
Although theirs is not a romantic relationship, the duo plan to raise the baby together.
