Back in July we learned the sad news that former American Idol Clay Aiken had broken up with his Broadway actor boyfriend Reed Kelly but today we learn the happy news that Clay has found himself a new hunk of beefcake in Texas. A Pink reader who wishes remain nameless has given me the head’s up that Clay has found new love with a local community theater actor in Texas named Jeff Walters:
According to my source and lots of chatter on Twitter this week, Clay has been spending a lot of time with Jeff in Texas this week. Clay was in attendance at a local production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in Dallas to see Jeff in the role of Rocky. The couple then were spotted at a performance of The Drowsy Chaperon the following night then they showed up at the Gaylord Texan Ice Show the day after. In the days that followed, Clay and Jeff made coupley appearances at Pinkberry, Borders Bookstore and at the movies to see Black Swan. It turns out that Jeff Walters is also a part-time model for 2(x)ist underwear. Here are a few of his promo photos in his undies to see exactly what Clay has gotten himself sprung on:
Oh yeah … I can deffo see the appeal. But, as hot as these 2(x)ist photos are, I really prefer the cute photo of Clay and Jeff featured above (that was taken at the Gaylord Texan Ice Show). They look happy and it sounds like they are having a great time together. Who knows, this might be true lurve for the both of them ;)
[thanks Tex]
Cute couple!! Am very happy for both of them. And, boy, Clay sure does know how to pick ‘em! Both of his boyfriends have been hotties, which tells me a lot about hot HE must be. :)
They look cute together and happy. What more could you ask?
Aren’t they adorable! I always liked Clay.
i smell a gold digger…good for him
Clay sure buzzes from man to man, but where does he hide his son when he’s out doing the men? Doesn’t he spend time with his son even during the holiday season?
Nice to see Clay out enjoying himself. I hope he is happy.
So nice that you’re concerned, woo, are you that concerned with other celebrities and their children?
Clay was was with his last boyfriend for two years so I don’t think ‘buzzing from man to man’ is quite appropriate. Long-term relationships change for a lot of people.
And he shares custody of his son with his son’s mother so you needn’t worry about that either.
So basically Trent you are saying that he went from doing a Broadway performer to now doing a local theatre actor. The descent into obscurity continues.
Aw, they’re cute! Glad to see them looking so happy.
I think Jeff has found himself a hot new North Carolina boyfriend! ;)
I love Clay. It’s hard for anyone to find love in this crappy world. I hope it works out for them.
Looks like both guys are happy and having a great time. Good for both of them.
It s fun to see two intelligent and handsome men out and about, having fun.
Clay is talented, witty and entertaining. I have read that Jeff is too. They are lucky to have found each other.
They make a lovely couple. Though it must be said, ganking info from a friend’s fb page taking it to a gossip site isn’t very classy. For shame.
Clay Aiken looks happy and healthy. Good for him. I have always enjoyed him and his sense of humor.
For those making ignorant judgements, how the heck would you know any details of this man’s personal life? All you know is what you see and read and much of that is gossip and spin. Like everything else in this world, there are some real ignorant and uninformed people making statements like they are facts.
Michelle —
This article isn’t about other celebs. You’re changing the subject.
How sweet. Mom watches the son while dad goes out looking for action. Not exactly responsible parenting.
The same would go for anyone, gay or straight.
Clay may have seen his last boyfriend off and on for two years, but it was never exclusive. Not that I care, but just to get the facts out there.
Woo – If you’re not a personal friend of Clay’s you have no freakin’ idea what you’re talking about. Instead you’re just talking out of your ass! But, hey….I hope you and your ass have a Merry Christmas! I’m sure Clay and his son will have a great one together….not that you care of anything!
Woo, someone needs to get you laid.
Woo – Clay and Jaymes share joint custody of Parker. Jaymes lives in L.A.; Clay lives in N.C. They split time between them, and there are also times when they are all together. Of course they will spend time together for Christmas. This relationship seems fairly new, and it appears that Clay is spending time with Jeff prior to the holidays and his next tour. I think they are taking this time to get to know each other better and have some fun before Clay’s life gets too hectic again.
Vickie, even though you are correct about Clay and Jaymes living arrangement, you have NO IDEA about Clay and Jeff’s relationship. NO IDEA! Please don’t speak for them.
I’m not sure what Clay sees in Jeff…
but judging from the crotch-shots, I think I can guess what Jeff sees in Clay.
A paycheck?
Awww, two gay nerds.
They might want to stop consulting cartoon characters and try paying more then 5 cents for their psychiatric help. Just sayin’.
Karen – where did I say I was speaking for them? I gave my opinion of what I think is going on right now, that’s all. I never claimed to *know* anything.
Tony – I think you meant that the other way around.
To both you and Lucy I would say that Clay’s previous boyfriend described him as “sweet.” A friend of Jeff’s said Clay is a “great guy.”
Malvern – even right after AI when he was really hot, Clay’s first relationship that we know of(or think we do) was with a stylist. He’s never been into famous guys that we know of. I think he prefers guys who are not so much in the spotlight.(Speculation has been that he’s also dated a geologist, and possibly a lawyer, along the way.)
Vickie, there you go again! Lots of speculation in your posts. Clay has never talked about any of his relationships so everything you post is hearsay. Some of Clay’s fans need to mind their own business. But, that will never happen.
HA SAYS MY FRIEND IN DALLAS “that guy is ALL over grindr all the time!”
@alex — So now we know how they met ;)
Vickie –
I don’t need a lecture on your version of Clay Aiken’s personal life. I’ve seen your fanfic before. For someone who knows nothing about Clay Aiken personally, you sure do a lot of pretending to know it all. Maybe you should get on with your own life and quit writing your speculation about AIken as if it were fact all over the internet.
I don’t know him personally any more than you do. My comment about not being with his son is only based on what I read at places like this. He doesn’t look like much of a custodial father. It looks like he has it both ways. A domestic life when he feels like it and the freedom to play with a different man in every city when he feels like that, too. He’s a lucky man. I don’t know if the son is quite as lucky. Maybe the Mom is more attentive.
Woo, you’re an ass. You know NOTHING about how often Clay is with his son. The very few times we see Clay out without him gives them plenty of time together, I’d say. And “a different man in every city”??? Where the hell is the evidence of that? Up your ass?
Let’s be honest everyone. If Clay wasn’t famous, Jeff wouldn’t have even looked twice at him. As much as I love Clay I’m just being honest. One is very attractive the other is just not.
holy shit. i know jeff. wow. that’s….just…wow. and i can definitely see what clay sees in him. he’s incredibly sweet, and very…yes, hot. good for both of them. hope they’re happy.
“Where the hell is the evidence of that?”
Benjy, you need to read the news more. Sightings, some with pictures, of Aiken with men all over the country show up on the internet all the time. The last guy was photographed with him on a romantic stroll with him in NYC. The time before that it was a cute little scientist from Berkeley. That one even rode with him on his tour bus. And so on. The men come and go regularly.
“Up your ass?”
Benjy, be realistic, it’s all about what goes up Aiken’s ass, not mine. ;)
Woo, you obviously have some kind of issue, whether it be with Aiken or just maybe gay in general. The snide commentary is bothersome. So a guy can’t walk around NYC or elsewhere with a guy and it be something other than romantic? Alert the gay police. Newsflash: not all guys seem in public together are boinking, as that seems to be where your single brain cell keeps going. As to his father abilities, his son has only been in pap photos once or twice; his parents seem to keep that under wraps, like LOTS of other celebs. Doesn’t mean he isn’t with him. I just don’t get the animosity and accusations of lousy parenting, and for that matter, I guess if he were straight and dating more than one woman he’d be “da man” and it’s all good. Yep. But being gay, being seen with more than one guy makes him a slut. Interesting. I’m not Aiken apologist, and could really live my life quite satisfactorily without seeing him, but it sure seems whenever he’s brought into anything he gets majorily slammed and heaped with derision. I don’t know, but I suspect he doesn’t give a shit what you think of him or me for that matter; good thing.
You really need to get some help with stick in your craw. I’d of said “up your ass” but well, we know where you’d go with that. Natch.
Clay is SO CUTE! I would date him 100 million times over. I have one problem… I’m a woman, I wouldn’t have the chance. But I am happy for him. He really deserves to be happy, he seems like such a nice person.
