Hilary Duffstar of Lizzie McGuire and exgirlfriend of the musician Aaron Carter who died yesterday aged 34 released an emotional message after the artist’s death was confirmed. In an Instagram post, Duff lamented Carter’s difficult life and recalled their relationship:
“To Aaron I’m sorry that life has been so hard for you and that you had to fight in front of the whole world. You had a charm that was absolutely effervescent… My teenage self loved you dearly.
Send love to your family now. Sleep calmly.”
Carter and Duff began dating in 2001, just prior to the musician’s appearance on the show Lizzie McGuire (see above). The relationship lasted about three years.
Aaron Carter battled drug addiction for years, went through rehab and even appeared on The Doctors, a health talk show.
The musician was found dead at his home in California on the morning of November 5. Official information on the cause of death is not yet available.
