Aiken and Jaymes Foster are the best friends. They met when Aiken was a contestant in “American Idol” in 2003.

Aiken came out publicly as gay when he announced the birth of his son in 2008, describing him as “the first decision I made as a father.”

“I can’t raise a child to lie or hide things,” he said on a cover story of People magazine at that time. “I was not raised that way, and I’m not going to raise a child to do that.”

Jaymes Foster has talked about how his relationship with Aiken changed after the birth of his son.

“We love each other very much and deeply as friends, but I think that as parents now, there is an even greater link, certainly for me,” said People Magazine in 2008. “Our work is to continue being the best friends for the rest of our lives and that is the most important thing for Parker.”

The singer said his son was “making his debut on television” that night, when the three faced David Foster and additional members of his family.
