Aaron Carter's family consisted of his fiancee, son, four biological siblings, and three step-siblings
Born on December 7, 1987, Aaron Carter was the son of Robert Gene Carter and Jane Elizabeth Carter. The younger brother of the Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter, Aaron made a name for himself by releasing a self-titled debut album in 1998 and another one called Aaron’s Party (Come & Get It) in 2000.
On the personal front, Carter was engaged to model and bartender Melanie Martin. The duo officially announced their relationship on Instagram in January 2020. After this, Aaron popped the question in June of that year, and the couple engaged.
The rapper and Melanie welcomed their first child, Prince, in November 2021 but broke up a week after his arrival. They had an on-again-off-again relationship up until his death. Speaking to TMZ, Melanie said:
“My fiance Aaron Carter has passed away. I love Aaron with all my heart and it’s going to be a journey to raise a son without a father. Please respect the privacy of my family as we come to terms with the loss of someone we love greatly. We are still in the process of accepting this unfortunate reality. Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.”
