Music producer and composer David Foster doesn't find anything strange about his sister, Jaymes Foster having Clay Aiken 's baby.

"She's very close with Clay -- they're best friends," David told the Associated Press Thursday. "It made perfect sense to me that he'd want to have a child with his best friend."

Find out where your favorite Idol stars are now.

Jaymes, who is reportedly in her late 40s, gave birth to Parker Foster Aiken last August after conceiving the baby with Aiken, 30, through in-vitro fertilization.

David -- who has worked with the likes of Whitney Houston and Madonna and is writing about his sister's relationship with Aiken in his autobiography, Hitmaker -- considers it "a very normal situation."

See how Clay Aiken and other past Idol performers have lost and gained weight over the years.

The American Idol runner-up is a "spectacular father," David, 59, adds.

He says that Jaymes, also a music producer who worked with Aiken on his last album, is "a natural mother" who "always wanted a child, so it kind of worked out."

Take a look at Idol's most controversial contestants.

Aiken, who lives with Jaymes when he is in L.A., has said he planned to help raise the baby, but David doesn't know their plan as of yet.

"They're working it out," he says. "I don't know quite how. It's a bicoastal thing."

    Disturbing on many levels. Can't this woman just find a real man, any man is better than Clay. It's strange for an almost 50 year old woman to be "best friends" with a 30 year old gay guy. Ever since I read about the way he treats other men, I can't even stand to see his picture.
