Before his death at age 34, Aaron Carter was known for his career as a teen idol, but he wasn’t the only famous member of his family.
Born in December 1987, the “I Want Candy” singer and his twin sister, Angel Carter, are the youngest members of the Carter family, which also includes Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter, Bobbie Jean Carter and the late Leslie Carter.

Aaron, then 18, proposed to Playboy model Kari Ann Peniche in September 2006, but the duo called off their engagement after just six days. Nick, meanwhile, struggled with drug and alcohol abuse, which he later discussed in his 2013 memoir, Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It.
