Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, most of our lives aren’t exactly going according to plan right now. Weddings have been postponed, trips have been canceled, and everything is generally on pause for now. Pretty much everything is chaotic at the moment, but somehow, Aaron Carter’s personal life is still the most chaotic of all. On Tuesday, he announced that he and his girlfriend Melanie Martin are expecting their first child together, and reader, I have whiplash.
Aaron Carter and Melanie Martin have only been publicly together for a few months, but their relationship certainly hasn’t been smooth sailing. At the end of March, Melanie was arrested for felony domestic violence, after an alleged incident between her and Aaron. At the time, Aaron leveled many accusations at Melanie, including that she choked him, and broke her dog’s leg.
Between his tweets and her emo Instagram posts after getting released from jail (sadly now deleted), it definitely seemed like they were broken up after the incident. But as of this week, things have taken an abrupt turn. All of a sudden, it looks like Aaron and Melanie are back together, and they’ve got a baby on the way. On Tuesday, Melanie posted a photo of them kissing, with the caption “love wins.” I don’t think that means what she thinks it means, but sure, why not.
Then, Aaron dropped the baby news in an Instagram Live. After playing some new music (which is actually super catchy) and teasing his upcoming tour, he casually made the big announcement. He flipped the camera around to show a positive pregnancy test, and then said “Obviously I have a baby on the way,” adding “this is the official announcement, we’re pregnant.”
Well, there you have it, Aaron and Melanie are going to be parents. While taking drags on a cigarette, he went on to argue with viewers who said he wouldn’t be a good dad. I won’t make any guesses about Aaron’s future parenting skills, because I certainly wouldn’t be prepared to raise a child right now either, but I do feel like maybe he should read some books before the baby gets here.
2020 predictions: it’s gonna be a great year! lots of success! let’s get this!

I’m not sure what I thought 2020 would bring, but I for sure didn’t expect to be watching Aaron Carter suck on a cigarette on Instagram Live, announcing that he’s having a baby with a woman whom he had arrested just three weeks ago. But hey, life comes at you fast, and at least this is one piece of messy celebrity news that has absolutely nothing to do with coronavirus.
Aaron and Melanie haven’t posted any official announcements on their Instagram feeds yet—Melanie is probably still Facetuning hers—but Aaron did reference the news with this mirror selfie from last night, which he captioned “Dad bod.” Lol, see what he did there?
So for now, it looks like Aaron Carter and Melanie Martin are back together, and they’re probably trying to make things work for the baby, if nothing else. Based on the timing, she was obviously already pregnant before the whole jail situation, but it’s unclear when they found out. Maybe their relationship is on a better track now, but if things go wrong again, hopefully they can just focus on co-parenting.
Interestingly, Aaron has also yet to tweet anything about the pregnancy. He’s usually pretty outspoken on Twitter, but I did notice that it’s been a few weeks since he posted about his OnlyFans page. As much as I hate to admit it, I’m still a little tempted to subscribe. But maybe he and Melanie are more focused on reconnecting with each other right now, instead of posting cryptic tweets and porn videos? A true modern love story.

It’s been a while since we last checked in on Aaron Carter, but it looks like things in his life have not gotten any easier since last year. As a refresher, in September, Aaron’s siblings took out restraining orders against him after he allegedly threatened to kill them, and a judge ruled that he had to give up his firearm collection due to mental instability. Simpler times. Well, nothing good has happened yet in 2020, and that trend is continuing here. On Sunday night, Aaron’s girlfriend, Melanie Martin, was arrested for felony domestic violence, and now Aaron is popping off on Twitter about what allegedly went down.
Back in January, Aaron Carter went public with his new girlfriend Melanie Martin, and no one seems to know much about her. Basically every article about the couple just calls her an Instagram model (she has 167k Instagram followers, so this seems like an accurate assessment), and the one notable fun fact about her seems to be that she’s Bulgarian.
Shortly after taking the relationship public, Aaron started teasing that they would be launching an Onlyfans account together, because what is 2020 missing? Ah yes, Aaron Carter porn. That’ll fix everything. (Since then, the OnlyFans has launched, and the reviews are not good.)
So anyway, moving past the porn stuff, let’s fast forward to this weekend, when something went wrong between Aaron Carter and Melanie Martin. According to TMZ’s report on the incident, the police were called to Carter’s house in Lancaster, CA around 11pm on Sunday, in response to a domestic dispute between the couple. It reportedly began with a verbal argument, which then became physical. TMZ has photos of what look like cuts or scratches on Aaron’s arms. The police determined Martin to be at fault, and she was arrested for felony domestic violence. According to the report, she’s still in police custody as of Monday afternoon, and is being held on $50,000 bail.
On Monday, after TMZ published their story, Aaron fired up his Twitter account to respond to the incident, and later, shared some truly disturbing allegations about Melanie.
In the first tweet, he said that he hopes Melanie “gets the help she needs”, and that “no one deserves domestic abuse female OR MALE.” Before I say anything else: it’s an important message that men can also be on the receiving end of domestic abuse. Whatever happened in this specific situation, that’s something everyone should understand. Then, Aaron hashtagged #Cheater and said “she literally chocked me out.”
so sad, ;( I hope she gets the help she needs. no one deserves domestic abuse female OR MALE #DomesticAbuse #Cheater she literally chocked me out…. i'm devastated https://t.co/Zaxo7zgPbt

In the next tweet, Aaron seemed to explain his reasoning for calling the cops on Melanie, saying that with domestic violence, “all it takes is once” to establish a pattern of abusive behavior.
you don't have to wait for someone to treat you bad repeatedly. All it takes is once, and if they get away with it that once, if they know they can treat you like that, then it sets the pattern for the future.”

But after those first tweets, in which he espoused some important wisdom about domestic violence, Aaron’s tweets shifted in tone. He referenced his past issues with his brother and sister, claiming that he’s the one who is “accused of being a pedophile animal abuser racist”, while his family is busy “making up horrendous lies about me and contacting me knowing if I respond I go to jail.” Basically, he’s accusing his siblings of contacting him specifically to make him violate their restraining orders against him—something which would land Aaron in jail.
and here I am always the one being accused of being a pedophile animal abuser racists told to kill myself everyday family making up horrendous lies about me and contacting me knowing if I respond I go to jail trying to set me up sister husband its all really sad to see im devasta

After that, he used the hashtag #ScornedWomen, which I don’t know the exact context of, but it doesn’t seem like a flattering way to refer to someone. After reiterating that he hopes she gets help, he then claimed that he “tried to give her a new life,” but obviously things haven’t worked out the way he envisioned them.
#ScornedWomen I hope she gets the help she deserves. I tried to give her a new life.

Rounding out the bizarre series of tweets, he threw out a new accusation against his girlfriend Melanie: that she broke her dog’s leg and didn’t take it to the hospital. Pardon me? He actually tweeted about this a few times, and in the most recent message, he tagged PETA, telling them they “should look into Melanie Ann Martin abusing and breaking her mini poodles leg and not taking it to the hospital.” There’s a lot going on in this situation, and I really hope a dog isn’t suffering because of it.
#DomesticAssault #Felony #DogAbuse she didn't pay anything. balls sugar daddies did. @peta you should look into Melanie Ann Martin abusing and breaking her mini poodles leg and not taking it to the hospital https://t.co/f4fEzh1weG
— Aaroncarter (@aaroncarter) March 30, 2020
This afternoon, Aaron spoke to TMZ, saying that Melanie told him she was pregnant right before the argument that led to the alleged assault. He accused her of lying and asserted to TMZ that they would not be getting back together.
