Aaron Carter’s son Prince makes red carpet debut
Prince Carter was joined by his mother, Melanie Martin, and Aaron Carter’s twin sister, Angel Carter Conrad.
Wearing Batman shoes, a matching tee, and a little leather jacket, Prince clung to his mother’s side while cameras flashed. His bright blonde hair — a near match to Aaron’s iconic look immediately drew attention.
Melanie, dressed in a sleek gray turtleneck dress, smiled warmly as she carried her son through the carpet. Later, Prince posed for more photos with his aunt, Angel.
Aaron died in November 2022 at age 34, his death ruled accidental due to drowning and a combination of difluoroethane and Xanax. At the time, Prince was just over a year old.
In 2023, Melanie Martin confirmed via DNA test that Aaron was Prince’s biological father, putting rumors to rest.
It proves “without a shadow of a doubt,” she told TMZ. “I hope that the hate and baseless rumors suggesting otherwise will now cease," she added.
Talking to PEOPLE at that time, Martin said, "We're doing good. He will be turning 3 soon. (We are) lucky to have each other. He's the best little boy, and he's really smart.”
