Aaron Carter and Melanie Martin welcomed their son, Prince, one year before the pop star’s death at age 34.
The “Aaron’s Party” singer and his then-fiancée became parents in November 2021 when Martin underwent an emergency C-section. The duo went public with their relationship in January 2020 and got engaged that June. Following their 2021 breakup, the twosome briefly reconciled, with Carter exclusively telling Us Weekly that having a baby changed his outlook on his relationship with the Bulgaria native.
“It’s all a beautiful blessing because I’ve had a lot of relationships and I started [to] kind of [give] up on love. I was talking about having a family years ago,” Carter explained in December 2021. “I [wanted] to be at home and enjoy the love of my life and my child. Now that it’s here, it’s like an epiphany. … I’ve [really] switched my gears of thinking. I’ve given a lot of people second and third chances, as you can see with us and the stuff that we’ve gone through.”
Two months later, however, he and Martin split once again.
Us confirmed in November 2022 that Carter died at his California home. According to the coroner’s report, he drowned in a bathtub due to the effects of difluoroethane and alprazolam. His death was ruled an accident.
Martin paid tribute to Carter via social media. “Goodnight to my soulmate love of my life. RIP 💔,” she wrote shortly after his death. “Tonight I imagine myself laying on your tattoo chest as I fall asleep on yours I did for 3 years.”
After sharing a handful of photos of Carter with their son, the model wrote in another tribute: “I’ll never be the same.”
