Former "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken is a founding father. The 29-year-old crooner from Raleigh proclaimed the giving birth of Parker Foster Aiken on his Web site's blog Friday. "No hyphens. One first name," he wrote. "One middle diagnose. One last name."
Aiken's mother, Faye, told Raleigh TV station WRAL the nestling was born in North Carolina.
Aiken was a deary of fans during the second season of "American Idol," where he finished second to Ruben Studdard. His album "Measure of a Man" went double platinum in 2003, and he made his Broadway debut this spring in "Monty Python's Spamalot."
The baby's mother is Jaymes Foster, Aiken's acquaintance and record producer whom he met while acting on "American Idol." Their son was born at 8:08 a.m. Friday, and weighed 6 pounds, 2 ounces and was 19 inches long, according to the statement on the Web site.
"The little man is healthy, happy, and as loud as his daddy," Aiken wrote. "Mama Jaymes is doing quite well also."
