“She choked my trachea out, she ripped my arms open, she ripped my back open and she punched me where I got my tooth pulled,” Aaron claimed on his YouTube channel. “A lot of people were right about certain things but there is a lot of learning lessons in this.” He went on to call her “#FelonyMelanie” on Twitter. The pair broke up after the incident.
At the time, Aaron had just gotten her name tattooed on his face above his eyebrow.
Three weeks after their split, the now-former couple revealed things were back on in April and that they were expecting a child. Sadly, Melanie suffered a miscarriage in June.
“She suffered a miscarriage due to stress conditions,” Aaron said on[YouTube at the time. “We’re gonna give it some time, let her heal and then we’re going to try again. We both want that. I gotta take care of her.”
Days after sharing the news, the pair became engaged. In March 2021, Aaron shared Melanie’s positive pregnancy test and they welcomed their son into the world on November 22.
“Emergency C Section after 13 hours of labor but my fiancé is in great health thank you lord and the incredibly sweet loving staff here. Prince is precious I love you son. Your mommy loves you as I drop tears on the phone,” the House of Carter alum shared on Instagram. Seven days later, Aaron revealed that the pair had split.
“Due to personal reason [sic] Melanie Martin and I have decided to go our separate ways,” Aaron tweeted on November 30, explaining why he and Martin ended their engagement. “There has been a very big lie and my sister communicating w my ex-fiancé [sic] ruined everything considering she knew what angel tried to do to me in court thanks angel you ruined my family. God bless.”
Aaron also mentioned his family, including his twin sister, Angel Carter, and his brother, Nick Carter, in his Twitter thread.
“I have the most conniving, deceiving family and Melanie has been lying to me the whole time communicating with my twin sister and the family members who tried to put me in prison and who tried to get a conservatorship on me in court,” the singer continued.
“Don’t worry you trolls won you ruined my life alongside w Angel my twin Lauren Kitt and nick god bless. I’m a good man. I’m sleeping in my car ok … and he is in the house. How utterly rude of you. Please respect my privacy thinking you know what’s best for MY SON!!! Thanks,” he alleged. “Then tore time when she knew not to be speaking [with] a family member who tried to 5150 me and put me in jail and tried to entrap me.
