Don’t count Jaymes Foster as one of the fair weather fans that turns on Clay Aiken because he’s gay.

The mother of Clay’s son and this singer’s BFF told People Magazine that Aiken is an amazing father, but an even better person.

Here are excerpts from the interview she gave that celebrity gossip publication:

What is it about Clay that makes him a great dad?
Jaymes Foster: He’s an incredible caregiver. As far as changing the diapers and seeing what’s wrong with [Parker] and getting him to go sleep, Clay’s a natural and he’s really, really good with that. 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.

Do you support Clay’s decision to publicly acknowledge he’s gay?

Jaymes Foster: I totally support him. It’s his choice. It’s a choice that he made. I love him and I’ll support him in any choice that he makes, whether as an entertainer, or a father, human being, of course I support him.

Jaymes Foster, Clay Aiken and son Parker: An atypical, albeit beautiful, family.
