The younger brother of singer Nick Carter, he came to fame as a pop singer in the late 1990s, establishing himself as a "heartthrob" among teenage audiences during the early 2000s. Carter, who has also launched an acting career, is known for media reports regarding his personal life, including his relationships with actresses Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, and his legal problems, some involving his mother.

Biography

Early life

Carter was born and raised in Tampa, Florida, where his parents ran a home for senior citizens; the family was originally from New York, where his brother, Nick, was born. His father, Robert Gene Carter, has Jewish ancestry and his mother, Jane Elizabeth Spaulding, is a Mayflower descendant of Welsh, Irish, German, English and 1/4 Blackfoot ancestry.

Aside from his older brother, Nick (best known as a member of the Backstreet Boys), he also has three sisters: twin sister Angel (a model), Bobbie Jean Carter (recently arrested for assault) , and Leslie Carter. He also has an older half-sister named Ginger from his father's first marriage. In June 2005, he welcomed the birth of his half-brother, Kanden (from his father's new marriage). He also has a younger step-sister, Taelyn, by his father's new wife.

Singing

  • In late 2001 Aaron and his brother Nick were among the many artists who participated in the recording of the 9/11-charity single "What More Can I Give" written and composed by Michael Jackson which was supposed to raise money for the victims. Unfortunately Sony refused to release the track and forbade Michael Jackson to release it with the help of another label.

Acting career

Carter has become active as an actor, making guest appearances on several television series, including Lizzie McGuire, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and 7th Heaven. In April of 2001, he made his Broadway debut, playing JoJo the Who in Seussical the Musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.

Carter made his feature film debut in a cameo in the 2004 comedy, Fat Albert. His first lead role in a feature was in Popstar (2005), a direct-to-video film that was based heavily on his own life as a performer. A real-life motocross racer, Carter also appeared in 2005's Supercross.

Carter and his siblings star in a reality show, House Of Carters, which premiered in October 2006 on E!. The series will feature all five Carter siblings reuniting to live in the same house.

Hobbies

Carter is active in sports, including water sports (surfing, swimming, scuba diving, kayaking), soccer, golf, baseball, football and motocross bike racing. He is also an avid basketball player; he plays basketball with his tour mates, and has been known to shoot baskets on stage during his concerts. He partnered with athlete Shaquille O'Neal for the music video to "That's How I Beat Shaq". In January 2005, he joined brother Nick in Whittier, California and played a game with the Hollywood Knights celebrity basketball team, raising money for local Los Angeles schools.

In addition to sports, Carter enjoys working out. At the age of fourteen, he took up weightlifting and boosted his body weight from 120 lb to 140 lb. Carter, who often performs bare-armed or shirtless to show off his arms, is also a gymnast, and frequently performs back flips, handstands, and one-arm cartwheels in his concert appearances.

Carter is also a passionate advocate for the protection of the Everglades habitat in his native Florida. At the age of fifteen he appeared in a U.S. Coast Guard video promoting the use of life jackets among boaters and anglers. Carter enjoys being barefoot and many pictures of his feet have appeared on internet message boards and websites.

Personal life

Carter has dated singers Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, resulting in a high profile feud between the two. He had later admitted to have cheated on Hilary Duff. He has also revealed to have gone on a date with Paris Hilton, after she broke up with his brother, Carter's parents separated in March 2003 and later filed for divorce. In December 2003, Carter filed for legal emancipation from his mother, alleging she had taken more than $100,000 from his bank account without his permission. Carter mentioned in a 20/20 interview that he was missing sums amounting to $6,400,000. Carter and his mother resolved their differences the following January, and the filing was withdrawn.

Since his parents' divorce, Carter has lived with his father in Marathon, Florida.

Carter has several known tattoos, including a skull inside a sun (a large tattoo centered on his upper back), a nautical star with a "7" in the center of it on his right inner forearm, an "A" on his right wrist and a "C" on his left wrist and a Sagittarius sign on his inner left forearm. He shaves his armpits. His most recent tattoo, portraying an angel, was added to his tattoo collection in January 2006 and is on his left lower arm.

Carter had his left ear pierced when he was younger, but let it grow over because of an infection. He subsequently had both ears pierced, and often wears large diamond studs in each ear.

On September 18, 2006, it was reported that Carter was engaged to former beauty queen and Playboy model Kari Ann Peniche. US Weekly later reported that Carter had broken off his engagement to Peniche, saying he was impulsive in proposing to her.

In 2006, Aaron's older brother Nick Carter decided to start a reality show on E! called "House of Carters" reuniting all the Carter siblings in one house. A spat between between Nick and Aaron over Paris Hilton has been caught at the start of this new TV series.
