Nick Carter ‘thanks’ for loved ones after Aaron’s death

Nick Carter is “grateful” for a “good time” with his family, less than a month after the death of his younger brother, Aaron Carter.

“I’m so grateful for spending some time with all our loved ones this Thanksgiving,” the 42-year-old member of the Backstreet Boys wrote. Instagram slideshow him and his family on Saturday. “We hope you all had fun. 🙏🏻,”

Among the sweet snaps were his wife, Lauren Kitt Carter, and their three children: son Odin and daughters, 6, Saoirse, 3, and Pearl, 1.

Several fans wrote in the comment section how “so good” it was to see Nick with a smile on his face after a few heartbreaking weeks.

On November 5, Aaron was found dead at the age of 34 in the bathtub of his home in California.

Police reportedly found compressed air cans and pill bottles at the scene, but the official cause of death is still awaiting toxicology results.

Following the announcement of Aaron’s death, Nick posted a series of tribute photos of them on Instagram.

“My heart was broken today,” the “I Want It That Way” singer wrote earlier this month. “Although my brother and I had a complicated relationship, my love for him never faded.”

He added: “I always hoped that one day he would want to follow a healthy path and finally find the help he so desperately needed.

“Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for failure. But the truth is that addiction and mental illness are the real villain here.”

Nick and Aaron had a strained relationship over the years, and in September 2019, Nick received a restraining order against his younger sibling.

The “The Masked Singer” actor previously claimed that the “I Want Candy” singer confessed that he wanted to kill Nick’s pregnant wife and also threatened their sister Angel Carter. Aaron denied the claims.

However, closer to the death of the singer of “Aaron’s Party”, the brothers were about to mend their relationship.

Aaron’s manager, Taylor Helgeson, exclusively told Page Six recently: “I know they had plans… to meet, to forgive. I don’t know exactly when, but I know they wanted to – that was the idea.”

A few days after Aaron’s death, Nick was seen crying on stage in front of the “How I Beat Shaq” singer’s tribute at a Backstreet Boys concert.

The band played “No Place” while pictures of Nick and Aaron flashed on the screen.
