Clay Aiken’s son Parker, 15, makes TV debut on ‘Celebrity Family Feud’ — and competes against uncle David Foster

Clay Aiken’s son is finally in the spotlight.

The “American Idol” alum’s 15-year-old son, Parker, made his television debut on Tuesday’s episode of “Celebrity Family Feud.”

Aiken, 45, was joined by Parker, Parker’s mom Jaymes, his mom Faye and his brother Brett on the game show.

Team Aiken faced off against Team Foster, made up of David Foster, his wife Katharine McPhee, his daughter Amy, McPhee’s sister Adriana and his stepson Brandon Jenner.

Aiken pointed out to host Steve Harvey that there’s actually familial relations between the two teams.

“We got a very mixed family up here on stage,” he said.

“We’re not just two ‘American Idol’ runners-up,” Aiken added, referring to himself and McPhee, 40, “but we’ve got some Fosters on both sounds of the aisle too.”

Aiken introduced his family and explained that his son’s mother is David’s sister.

“This is my son Parker, making his TV debut,” Aiken said about his teenage child.

Harvey, 67, was surprised to learn that Aiken’s son is related to the Foster family.

“That’s David’s sister?” the comedian asked.

“That’s David’s sister and David’s nephew, yes,” Aiken reiterated.

“David’s sister Jaymes is on the right team. She wanted to win tonight. That’s why we are here,” he added.

Harvey greeted Parker with a fist bump and joked that the teen is going to get attention from “girls at the school.”

“Boy, Parker when this airs, woo,” Harvey said.

After a competitive game, Team Aiken defeated Team Foster and won $25,000 for their choice of charity, the National Inclusion Project.

BFFs Aiken and Jaymes became parents to Parker in 2008.

“Clay’s a natural,” Jaymes said about the “American Idol” Season 2 star in an interview with People after their son was born.

She added, “On a larger scale, he’s the perfect person. He’s been a school teacher, we have the same morals, family is very important to him and Parker means everything to us.”

In May, Aiken told E! News that while Parker used to sing “all the time,” he doesn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps and join the music industry.

“He’s chosen a different path,” Aiken explained. “He has something else he wants to do with his life. And I’m excited for him.”

The “Measure of a Man” singer pointed out his son has “American Idol” and music “in his veins.”

“His uncle is David Foster, the producer. So his aunt is Katharine McPhee,” he said, adding, “So Parker has got a dad and an aunt [in the industry]. But he wanted to do something else. Had he wanted to sign up? Sure. I mean, I think that’s what you’re supposed to do is support whatever they want to do.”

Foster, 74, and McPhee met on Season 5 of “American Idol” in 2006. They tied the knot in 2019 and welcomed a son in 2021.

Before McPhee, Foster was married four times, including to Linda Thompson (from 1991 to 2005), the ex-wife of Caitlyn Jenner (then Bruce Jenner), and Yolanda Hadid (from 2011 to 2017), the mother of models Gigi and Bella Hadid.

Foster recently came under fire for a resurfaced video of him calling McPhee “fat” from a concert performance of the couple’s first show together.

The famous music producer and his wife have not spoken out about the controversy.
