Aaron Carter says his girlfriend Melanie Martin is pregnant. Barely a month ago, three weeks back to be exact, Martin was arrested for domestic abuse after an altercation between her and Carter. 

On his Instagram Live on April 21, Carter announced that he is soon to be a dad and the next phase of his life will be all about being a good one. He showed a positive pregnancy test as proof that his girlfriend is expecting their first child.

The former singer,32, is proud to announce this good news. “Obviously I have a baby on the way,” he said in the stream. “I’m going to be a busy father for sure.” The news may come as a surprise to his followers though given that just three weeks ago, his girlfriend was arrested for domestic violence.

Shortly after his IG stream, he also talked about this baby news with People magazine, obviously cannot contain his excitement. First, he clarified that this baby is something the two of them truly want and were “trying” for.

Given all that he went through in life, his next words could show a newfound determination. “I’m just focused on the future and being a dad. I want to be a good dad. I’m focused, my music career has been doing really well, and touring, having my clothing line out, all that stuff I have going for me that isn’t necessarily just music,” he said. “Family is most important to me,” he added.

He did not talk about what is going on with his girlfriend though. On March 29, TMZ reported that Melanie was arrested for an alleged fight between her and Aaron at their home. It was not a minor fight since jail time was involved.

 

Melanie was accused of scratching Aaron, which was deemed enough for a domestic abuse case. Cops say Aaron had visible marks on his body and sheriff's deputies confirmed these was made by Melanie.

The aggressor was arrested for felony domestic violence. Aaron later updated TMZ that Melanie already told him that she was pregnant after her arrest, but at the time, he did not believe her. He thought she was merely lying and resolved not to ever get back with her.

The pregnancy test naturally changed everything. What is unclear if this is going to be enough for them to get back together. Check out the happiness in Aaron’s face when he shared the baby news to his legion of supportive followers:
