Life

Aaron Carter released his first album when he was nine years old in Germany when his brother Nick Carter , a member of the boy group Backstreet Boys , was staying there. Then he moved back to the USA .

In addition to Nick, Carter has other siblings: Angel (twin sister), Leslie (1986–2012), "BJ" Bobbie Jean, "Ginger" Virginia (half-sister) and a half-brother named Kanden Brent. He was in a relationship with the American singer, actress and entrepreneur Hilary Duff from 2001 to 2002 . In early 2010 it was announced that Carter had become a co-owner of a Fort Lauderdale pizzeria . On January 31, 2012, his sister Leslie died of an overdose after a long drug addiction.

From 2014 to 2017, Aaron Carter was in a relationship with Lee Marie Karis.

In 2013, Carter played the role of Matt in the off-Broadway musical Fantasticks . He ended his engagement on February 17, 2013.

In 2013, Aaron Carter went on a comeback tour entitled "After Party Tour" between February 22nd and December 12th. During that time he gave 166 concerts in North America. During this tour, the so-called “Meet & Greet” was also established, in which fans could get to know the singer personally for an additional charge. In 2014, Aaron Carter went on a “Private Dinner Tour” through the United States, during which Aaron Carter met his fans over dinner or lunch and then sang one or two of his songs, depending on the fans present. Since this offer was also well used, he then went straight on a Canada tour.

From September 2014 Aaron Carter was on the current “Wonderful World Tour”, which took him through North America and all the way to Europe. In Europe he gave concerts in London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Solothurn and Barcelona, among others .

On August 6, 2017, Carter came out as bisexual . Since he claims to have had unprotected sex in the past, he wanted to find out about his health with the help of an HIV test carried out during a television program on the US show The Doctors . The HIV test was negative, but marijuana and opiates were detected in a separate drug test.
