Clay Aiken's Rarely Seen Lookalike Son Parker Makes Television Debut

As a well-known TV icon who has been in the industry for years, it wasn't a huge surprise for fans to see Clay Aiken appear on Celebrity Family Feud on Aug. 6, but it was the appearance of his rarely-seen son Parker Foster Aiken that stunned viewers.

In a clip shared by ABC on YouTube ahead of the episode, Aiken introduced the members of his family who were competing on the show, saying of his son, "This is my son, Parker, making his TV debut."

The almost 16-year-old smiled softly at the camera showing off his features that are almost a perfect copy of his father's. By his side, Parker's mother, music producer Jaymes Foster , stood and waved as she was introduced as well.

Jaymes is the sister of David Foster , who is married to another American Idol alum, Katharine McPhee . Foster, McPhee, and a few others were competing on the other team in the episode.

During the introduction, Aiken joked that the two teams "are not just two American Idol runner-ups, but we got some Fosters on both sides of the aisle too." Also on Aiken's team were his mother, Faye Parker , and his brother Brett .

Fans who tuned in to the show were stunned by how similar Aiken and his son looked, with one writing on X, "They are like twins, wow!"

"So sitting here watching Family Feud Celebrity Musician edition & I must’ve missed a few chapters because Clay Aiken has a 15-year-old son, Parker, who is his mini me.. 🤯," said another, leading a different fan to say, "Wait… WHAT!?"

Parker appears to have an interest in singing like his father, but Aiken told E! News earlier this year, "He's chosen a different path. He has something else he wants to do with his life. And I'm excited for him.”

Aiken and his best friend Jaymes decided to welcome and raise a child together in 2008, continuing to successfully co-parent Parker as he turns 16.
