Clay Aiken is going to be a daddy!!!!!

Celebrity blog TMZ has learned that Clay Aiken is going to be a dad. In case you didn't get that, CLAY AIKEN IS GOING TO BE A DAD.

Here is what the site knows. Multiple sources tell them that the momma to be is Jaymes Foster, a record producer and Clay's BFF. He stays at her house when he goes to L.A.

They were told that Foster, who produced several of Clay's CDs, is due to have the baby in August. She is the sister of record mogul David Foster. They were told that she is quite a bit older (late 40's), though they can't confirm her exact age. She got divorced a few years back and has no children. Aiken is 29.

They're told that Foster is pregnant by the means of artificial insemination. But Clay is a lot more than just a sperm-- apparently he will have a very active role in raising the child.

There was no immediate word from Aiken's rep.
