Is Clay Aiken going to be a dad?

By Kathy Hanrahan

Gossip web site TMZ thinks so.

The site claims Aiken’s best friend, record producer Jaymes Foster, is the mom.

Aiken is 29 and Foster is 50. Foster was the executive producer on Aiken's album A Thousand Different Ways.

People magazine posted a story late Thursday confirming the news through a representative for Foster's brother.

"It is true, Clay is the father. She was artificially inseminated by Clay. She's due in August,” Bill Vigars, a Vancouver-based rep for David Foster, told People.

Aiken doesn't discuss his personal life, but many gossip sites have speculated about his sexuality since he vaulted into the spotlight after placing second on the second season of "American Idol."

WRAL's calls to Aiken and his representatives have not been returned.

What is the big deal? It sounds like Ms Foster is a friend of his. Maybe she just wants to have a baby (her biological clock is almost wand down) and he agreed to help her do that. That happens a lot of times. (as a matter of fact Jodi Foster asked a male pal of hers' to do the same thing and had children by him- she has a female partner) For whatever reason the woman does not want to get married but wants a child. She knows Clay and likes him. Good luck to her. It's a nice gift.
