Ha ha. My younger sister was IN LOVE with Kevin and she was so sick and I heard the news that he and Brian had gotten married. I gently broke the news to her and she said “But....that’s impossible” and I said it was true. She said “But, they’re cousins!” 🤣 I was like “Not to each other!” Lol
I thank God for giving Lyric the strength to say "You don't smell like my daddy." I always had a feeling he'd only get sober once he had children. AJ you've got this now.
I so love how open he is talking about his addiction and the struggles during the time being sober ... I m a BsB fan since 1996 and I had the pleasure of meeting him in person 5 years ago , and he made my best friend/sister so happy ( she s been madly in love w him for more than 20 years ) right before she passed away , and I ll never forget that . Gorgeous family. Those girls , and that tough loving wife who sticks next to him , helping him ...

I’ve met AJ about 4 times over the years during his trips to London touring and he honestly is one of the nicest guys ever! He’s really sweet and really funny and such a phenomenal singer! I’m really happy to hear he’s doing so well he deserves it.
Mayah Thomas, I totally agree with you. I’m a huge BSB fan since 96 and used to have a huge crush on Nick Carter but nowadays I must say that AJ is now my fave backstreet boy coz I think that out of all of them, AJ is the sweetest and really appreciates their fans. Even though he has that bad boy look but he actually is the sweetest of them all.

I had the pleasure of meeting AJ when I toured with the guys last year in Europe. He is just as genuine in real life. He always made me feel comfortable and part of the tour. I'm sharing similar problems with my partner with drinking and it's been an inspiration for us watching his videos on his journey and growth. I really hope the best for him, the guys, and his family.
I’m in the UK and I always LOVED the band and AJ was supposed to come to the uk to marry me!!!! I’m gutted and jealous haha. I’m so happy for his and his family how well he’s doing now xx
I’m almost one year sober and I know exactly how you feel. God saved me and he saved you as well. He used your daughter to open your eyes. What a beautiful thing to help you get sober. Your strong. God. Recovery. Family.
Congratulations on your sobriety. John 10:10 says "The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" The tragic thing about addiction is that is a miserable life here and there is a horrifying eternity waiting for all who die without Christ. Only God can break those chains and give us peace in our hearts. God bless you and keep pushing forward seek The Kingdom of God
@Aj McLean I don't think you know how very much your music touches all of us! And, how much sharing your life story with us gives us hope in our own lives. Thank you for everything. God certainly has blessed all of us with you!

All the bsb guys married women that are not celebs just normal people and down to earth girls. Good for them. His wife is beautiful. He looks so happy with her and the kids.
I’m proud everyday to be a fan of this hard working man, husband, father, and son for all that he works hard to be everyday. I hope he knows that he has my up most respect and love for being open about continuing his journey in his sobriety. Love to his wife and family for continuing to give him love and support that he needs and deserves.
You deserve to have your wife and children. You deserve to be HAPPY in life. Because you made billions of girls happy and still do. You made me and my childhood happy in the 90's. I appreciate all your hard work and everything you put in to the albums and tours. It's okay to be happy AJ. Glad you are. People that's cussing his wife and stuff Isn't a true fan. Because all we want is u to be happy and make great music. Thanks
This made me cry Aj. I myself am also a recovering addict. Thankfully by the grace of God I am 3 1/2 years sober today. Im also thankful you are sober today. You boys (BSB) are my true love, ever since I've heard your first album. It wouldn't be the same without you!!! One day at a time! You can do this and you will continue to do this! We fans, have your back and we 110% support you. We love you, I love you!!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This is something about this guys: they’re very straight with their appointments. Black&Blue tour was paused but they return and fished it. DNA Tour was paused by pandemic but 2 YEARS later they are fulfilling it 👏🏽
Bsb was my childhood and I'm so proud of aj for getting sober. I struggled with alcohol and opiates for a long time and I'm now almost 3 yrs clean off opiates and 10 yrs clean from alcohol. I still listen to bsb today as a 42 yr old woman and i take my sobriety one day at a time like aj says. What's keeping me going right now is my love for music my love for my son and if i didn't have those 2 things to help me through i wouldn't be here right now. I lost my son 9 yrs ago and i carry the pain with me every day. I struggle from manic depression anxiety ptsd ect and it's hard but some how i keep fighting. I won't lie there are times i want to just give up but i don't. I will say music is a huge part of it i used to do the same as aj and run around singing into my hairbrush as a teenage girl i wanted to be a singer since age 4 but things in life including my depression got in the way plus health problems. I was always told i had a beautiful voice but because of things i was and still am dealing with it didn't happen and it most likely won't. But i still love to sing in my apt it helps my depression alot to just sing what I'm feeling. Thank you bsb for always making my dark days brighter💜😀
I'm a BSB fan from the start. When they came out I liked AJ the least, but since he publicly shared his struggles I absolutely love him. It made me realise he tried to keep up a bad boy image, which he really is not. I met him twice and he's a big teddy bear with such a tender personality ❤️
Stay strong AJ, you have so much support, more than you even know. Rochelle is an absolute Queen, beautiful lady, inside & out. Your girls are totally precious, it's amazing to see you find happiness
I don’t think AJ does not understand how much of a fashion icon he was/is. 5 year old me wanted his style so bad. Mesh tank tops, bandanas, sunglasses in the day, chains, rings, painted nails, I can go on!!! And he had the best vocals, too!!
He's learned from addiction and grown from it. Im proud of him for everything he's gone through. He fought his way out and continued to fight. His girls are very lucky to have their mom and him. I see no limits to what Aj can do.
Proud of AJ. I've been a fan for over 20 years. I remember that announcement on TRL and seeing his ups and downs. I can say that he looks genuinely happy with his little family and is celebrating sobriety. Good for him and cheers to him and his family (Soda or water, though). All of them having kids really changed them for the positive.
Hey 👋 there How are you doing ??? I’m Charles and I’m from Nashville Tennessee I don’t really know you from anywhere but I do have a job offer for you!!!
AJ McLean has always been my favorite! Such a humble and strong man. He grew up and matured sooooo much! I am so damned proud of him! His wife is such a great match for him! AJ is a softie XD
I’m so glad you surrendered to God and acknowledged you needed him if only people knew that’s all it takes surrendering and asking him “God” for help. God bless you and your family!!
Thanks for the comment and love. I really appreciate your care and support of me. You can contact me in my gmail if you don't mind. mcleanaj663@gmail.com
His wife and children are just as gorgeously beautiful as he is. One of my top fave Backstreet Boys members ever. He is definitely the cool edgy one of the group. He is such popstar king, so much creativity and multitalented. But his real life story is so empowering and inspiring. Thank you people for doing this interview of AJ Maclean, ♥️❤️😍😘🥰👑💎⚜️✨🌟🤩🇺🇸 🎤 🎙 🎵 🎶 🥵 🤤
I was huge Backstreet Boys Fan as a kid. I got worried when I heard AJ had problems with drinking and drugs. I'm glad he overcame his addiction to be best person he could be!
I was jamming out to Black and Blue tonight and decided to see where the guys were today. What a remarkable story! Family really does put things in perspective. Nothing like your own child telling you the truth.
Yes God is Good ,congradulations on your sobriety, im 68 yrs old and 30 yrs sober ,i have 3 daughters ,i felt that i needed to be around my daughters ,i wanted them to be happy with a sober mama ,JESUS SAVED ME FROM MYSELF 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌
I don’t think god has anything to do with it, it’s all up to the person and support. But now if he’s clean and sober does his wife drink? I find people that are sober definitely have a change in personality.
@@vodkamama_2035 yeah tell that to the multitude of people who want to be free from such horrible bondage of addiction. Its a life of misery and pure hell. Only God has the power to free us from sin including addiction..Man is hopelessly without God.
AJ has now become my favourite BSB (sorry Brian). I've been a BSB fan for 26 years and seen them grow and become such accomplished performers but everyone has their struggles - private and public. I am so happy to see AJ so happy as he is today and grateful for God, life, his family and fans (of course). Its not easy to admit to things especially when it's such an easy part of the lifestyle he is around and I respect him for raising awareness and talking so openly, and i respect his courage to keep fighting his demons - a day at a time. I am glad he finally loves himself as he is so well loved by so many people on this planet 😊
AJ, so proud of you. The fact that you can share your journey and struggles is wonderful. You have millions of fans behind you. May God continue to give you strength and guidance to continue on the road of sobriety. Much love from northern Ontario Canada!! xoxo
You go boy, everyone hurts at one point or another, over anything and everything, just after finding ways to heal you will come across the best way, which will be the hardest but you can do it, keep it up, all the love in the world for you and your family, I've had it rough myself, not the same, but everyone has their own story
Aj is such an inspiration. My brother committed suicide 2020 in Feb. due to addictions of different kinds. It's a beast. Myself are struggling but still here. One day at a time.
Just so that you know, BSB has been my fav boy band since high school about 18 years ago! They still are and will always be the band I listen to even when I hit 80yo. And AJ, I am so proud of your transformation =) Here's your die-hard fan from Msia!
Met him last year after a show in Vegas and he refused to take pictures. He was in the casino bar with howie and their friends. He was still super kind and stood talking with me, but I had a feeling he was not in a sober state. I'm so happy to see him say he gave his addiction and surrendered it to God, having my own demons and doing the same (giving it to God) It is literally the only way to beat addiction. Longtime fan and super proud of AJ, can't wait to see them back on tour, hopefully next year!
The part where is talked about his 3 yr old and her saying her daddy didn’t smell like her daddy. So moving and touching. AJ has been through a lot, and he is so blessed! I’m happy he is open about his struggles. I have an old acquaintance who’s actually the son of one of my mom’s long time friends who I actually got to know a little more as of recently, and he’s also been struggling with addiction as well. My now friend said he has cut a lot of people off since trying to get over his addiction, and many people have cut him off as well, even some of his own family members including his sister who is several years younger than him. I know he’s been so appreciative of me not being judgmental of him especially when he first told me which substances he’s used.
So proud of you AJ. “Chances” and “No Place” are my favorite BSB songs. Saw you guys @ Barclays Center last year. That was an awesome concert. As they saying goes “behind every great man there’s a woman”. Stay blessed BSB family
Correction on the album debute... the album with Backstreets Back was not their debute... it was a earlier album with songs like Get Down, We've Got It Going On... the Backstreets Back album didn't have those.
Despite the drugs and alcohol he was still successful and always when I watch the tour he always had the best voice and life stage performance, not to mention his unique style and tattoos!! "Amazing Artist"
Of course you deserve a beautiful wife and kids. Only because you had some small bumps along life. Does not mean you do not deserve it. Yes you did. God bless you and your lovely family. Backstreet Boys will always be in my heart. Lots of awesome memories growing up listening to all the songs and creating awesome stories along the way..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
People that diss AJ and his family Shame on you people!! And for you people that hate him and his wife. Look at all he’s gone though and yet with a brave smile on his face. Well Brian was my favorite first AJ my second fave since he went hell and back and for the people that diss these people Y’all aren’t true fans at all!! And AJ if you see this Much love dude you rock man!! Like Brian you also my hero and you have inspired me to never go that route. It’s because of you I wouldn’t ever no matter do drugs not that ever was tempted but this inspired me never to start Thank you AJ!! I’m so proud you dude Much love to you!!
I feel AJ would be so genuine and humble. So glad his daughter was able to open up his eyes. What a beautiful family of 4. Hoping they have a wonderful life together. If I would be lucky enough for AJ to read this, YOU ARE LOVED AND DESERVE TO BE LOVED. Broke my heart when he said he felt he didn't deserve that. Sending a virtual hug always 🤗
I have so much love and respect for him and her it's unreal. When i saw him solo in January and yet again I knew something was off. Now I know I was right. I watched him all night. Glad he's happy clean and sober again. We love you Alexander!💜 You got this!
How can his fans on tour all these years see when he was struggling more than other days, but not the family? Living within it is harder to see on the inside. I am wishing his family the utmost of grace, love and sobriety. ❤️
I was never really a fan of boy bands or anything but I really like AJ and think he's awesome and cool. I hope he continues to go forward. Keep it up AJ. I'm rooting for him on Dancing with the Stars. It would be nice to meet AJ someday. He's very talented and such an awesome guy.
We trade on various currencies stocks and gold all over the world....and with my accurate signals combined with my analysis my clients are sure of up to over 80% of profits on every of their investment deposits here with us.
He seems to be so honest. And the way he talks about his family is so good so adorable! I appreciate his balance now and he was always be the most handsome! Love you AJ ❤️ my young idol
I'm so proud of u!! I'm a recovering addict. One day at a time. Me and my daughter came to c y'all in concert 2000, 2001. Y'all came out on air boards and u have always been my daughter boy. U came right up beside us and she just started crying. It was in Greensboro NC. All these yrs I'm still a fan at 54. Love AJ!!!
Thanks for the comment and love. I really appreciate your care and support of me. You can contact me in my gmail if you don't mind. alexanderjamesmclean1454@gmail.com
that was really insighful and interesting to know about HOW these things happen in showbiz. He was so straight out open about it "i was introduced to cocaine the night of the The Call video". God bless him on a path to full healing and pure happiness, contentment, peace and joy with his beautiful wife and children!! 😀
Keep it up. Hold onto those thoughts when moments get tough. I celebrated 8 years this past April and it's funny as it doesn't get easier, I've broken one day at a time down to one hour at a time , though it's not easier I feel so authentic in my sober journey. Everything I do and feel is real. So proud of you!! You've been part of my life via lyrics since you guys began. Sending you love!
I opened Aj for myself like 7 years ago, as a man, and the best BSB voice. Before their split in 2004 I was into Brian from 1996))) I knew Aj was taking drugs before, but now listening his soul speech I am shocked! hearing that all this time he was playing with drugs and alcohol! But no matter what I still love him! And his wife is my hero!!! Not so many women can deal with addicted guys! Love you Aj and I'm proud of your decision! You and your family deserve to live in love, peace and sober harmony! Still waiting for all of you in Ukraine! You promised to come here on meet and great in Las Vegas!
Fantastic that u love yourself, particularly with what you have been through. My son had addictions as well. U need to love yourself and have support to make it to the other side of addiction. Fantastic!!!!
Perfect example of why AA works. No matter what your higher power is or whether you even have one, it works if you work it. Be proud man, you deserve it.
Me and my friend meet Aj during the millennium tour. He was so good with us. And defended us when other fans tried to pick on us. He is such a beautiful soul. I'm glad to hear he is on the mend. Wish the same could have happened to Aaron. Xx
Thank you AJ for sharing it all, this means more than anything for you and for everyone who is genuinely caring for you, good luck in all that you do, greetings from Romania, we are waiting for a concert 🥰

Hi AJ I'm close to 6 months sober and for me sobriety is the key.I admire you for everything You've done in the past and for what u Will do in the Future.I'd still like to see u one day if Gods wants it. Take care and have a wonderful time with your dear family from JFNG xxxx
I have no idea why people are criticizing his wife. She is is absolutely beautiful. It must be because they're jealous. there's no other reason.
Yes, it's so sad all the BSB wives have to go through that crap with fans. Lauren suffers the worst abuse out of all of them.
Misery loves company, Sad but true 😢
Their just hateful about themselves so they lash out at other people. it's called bullying.
I agree. She’s gorgeous and curvy and most importantly, he loves her
Definitely jealously! She’s gorgeous.
I'm into rap, but always thought AJ had the most powerful voice of the group. Glad to see him where he's at now
AJ was originally the rapper of the group, now you mention it.
AJ was the first guy picked for that very reason. He’s the kind of voice you can build a group around.
He has a uniquely strong beautiful voice.
it’s even better live, i was at the London show on Sunday and was amazed by his voice. It’s incredible
I totally agree 💯💯💯♥️😀
I'm so super proud of AJ for recognizing his addiction,admitting he can't do it alone and the decision to fully commit to sobriety. He's my hero.

My 15 yr old self was supposed to marry AJ 😭
But seriously I'm so happy he's found true love with a beautiful family
You like bad boys, huh?
same here
I would agree but he reminds me too much of my brother
Ha ha. My younger sister was IN LOVE with Kevin and she was so sick and I heard the news that he and Brian had gotten married.
I gently broke the news to her and she said “But....that’s impossible” and I said it was true. She said “But, they’re cousins!” 🤣
I was like “Not to each other!” Lol
@Aj Mclean Good for you, stay honest to yourself. It's no good if you say something and you're saying something else inside. God bless you.
I thank God for giving Lyric the strength to say "You don't smell like my daddy." I always had a feeling he'd only get sober once he had children. AJ you've got this now.
I don't care what anyone says, his wife is beautiful. Shame on those who criticised her.
I think his wife is the coolest.
I love her tattoos..
She’s gorgeous
She's beautiful and normal looking a great example for her girls and girls everywhere. You can be your own kind of beautiful.
They're just jealous. She's stunning!
Awww! People just always have something to say. But yes, she is a beautiful woman! People are so dang narrow minded it's ridiculous.
He’s got an amazingly strong wife. Sometimes the kids saying something is everything.
I so love how open he is talking about his addiction and the struggles during the time being sober ...

Congratulations on your sobriety Mary and AJ

I love doing drugs tho.
"You don't smell like my Daddy." I'm in tears. Congrats on your sobriety!
That was truly heartbreaking :( tears and just tears
@Aj McLean I don't think you know how very much your music touches all of us! And, how much sharing your life story with us gives us hope in our own lives. Thank you for everything. God certainly has blessed all of us with you!
His wife and daughter's are so beautiful. Such a nice family ❤
The fact he put God first..... now I’m a fan !!
God bless him and his family!!!❤️❤️
I can all things through Christ who strengthens me !!!
Very true that’s how we should live God first, family then friends. God will never leave you nor forsake you

I don’t really know you in anyway but I do have a job offer for you!!!
I don’t think AJ does not understand how much of a fashion icon he was/is. 5 year old me wanted his style so bad. Mesh tank tops, bandanas, sunglasses in the day, chains, rings, painted nails, I can go on!!! And he had the best vocals, too!!
I completely agree
AJ I give you credit for the courage to change. Some addicts even when confronted don't want to.
AJ I have watched you from day one and couldnt be more proud of you, your family and your life. God Bless you man!
Proud of you AJ. On your recovery you made your brothers and family proud including us your fans. You have a beautiful family. BSB fan for 27 years..
He's learned from addiction and grown from it. Im proud of him for everything he's gone through. He fought his way out and continued to fight. His girls are very lucky to have their mom and him. I see no limits to what Aj can do.
Proud of AJ. I've been a fan for over 20 years. I remember that announcement on TRL and seeing his ups and downs. I can say that he looks genuinely happy with his little family and is celebrating sobriety. Good for him and cheers to him and his family (Soda or water, though). All of them having kids really changed them for the positive.

The second half of his interview brought a few tears to my eyes.

AJ McLean has always been my favorite! Such a humble and strong man. He grew up and matured sooooo much! I am so damned proud of him! His wife is such a great match for him! AJ is a softie XD
Same!!!
From the beginning, he was always my favorite Backstreet boy. So glad he/they are still around, grown-up and happy, and still making great music.
I’m so glad you surrendered to God and acknowledged you needed him if only people knew that’s all it takes surrendering and asking him “God” for help. God bless you and your family!!
I am immensely happy for AJ- A real talent coupled with perseverance. It is not easy, but he chooses to get up every time- a real inspiration!
Love when people acknowledge the power of God 🙏
Amen 🙏🏻
there is no god grow up
AJ, my favorite of the BSB. So glad he's happy, recovering and sober! God bless, AJ. You got this!

His wife and children are just as gorgeously beautiful as he is. One of my top fave Backstreet Boys members ever. He is definitely the cool edgy one of the group. He is such popstar king, so much creativity and multitalented. But his real life story is so empowering and inspiring. Thank you people for doing this interview of AJ Maclean, ♥️❤️😍😘🥰👑💎⚜️✨🌟🤩🇺🇸 🎤 🎙 🎵 🎶 🥵 🤤
I was huge Backstreet Boys Fan as a kid. I got worried when I heard AJ had problems with drinking and drugs. I'm glad he overcame his addiction to be best person he could be!
I was jamming out to Black and Blue tonight and decided to see where the guys were today. What a remarkable story! Family really does put things in perspective. Nothing like your own child telling you the truth.
Yes God is Good ,congradulations on your sobriety, im 68 yrs old and 30 yrs sober ,i have 3 daughters ,i felt that i needed to be around my daughters ,i wanted them to be happy with a sober mama ,JESUS SAVED ME FROM MYSELF 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌
Only by the power of God we can be free from addictions. It will only be temporary if you try to do it on your own. Jesus paid the price.
I don’t think god has anything to do with it, it’s all up to the person and support. But now if he’s clean and sober does his wife drink? I find people that are sober definitely have a change in personality.
Ive been sober 30 yrs now i tryed to quit on my own and it didnt work ,Jesus Christ saved me and i believe that it had everything to do with God 🙏🙌
@@vodkamama_2035 yeah tell that to the multitude of people who want to be free from such horrible bondage of addiction. Its a life of misery and pure hell. Only God has the power to free us from sin including addiction..Man is hopelessly without God.
@@yolandaperez7009 you are absolutely right.
AJ has now become my favourite BSB (sorry Brian). I've been a BSB fan for 26 years and seen them grow and become such accomplished performers but everyone has their struggles - private and public. I am so happy to see AJ so happy as he is today and grateful for God, life, his family and fans (of course). Its not easy to admit to things especially when it's such an easy part of the lifestyle he is around and I respect him for raising awareness and talking so openly, and i respect his courage to keep fighting his demons - a day at a time. I am glad he finally loves himself as he is so well loved by so many people on this planet 😊
AJ, so proud of you. The fact that you can share your journey and struggles is wonderful. You have millions of fans behind you. May God continue to give you strength and guidance to continue on the road of sobriety. Much love from northern Ontario Canada!! xoxo
@Aj Mclean who the heck are you
You go boy, everyone hurts at one point or another, over anything and everything, just after finding ways to heal you will come across the best way, which will be the hardest but you can do it, keep it up, all the love in the world for you and your family, I've had it rough myself, not the same, but everyone has their own story
Aj is such an inspiration. My brother committed suicide 2020 in Feb. due to addictions of different kinds. It's a beast. Myself are struggling but still here. One day at a time.
I'm Happy AJ is in a Better, Happy Place with a Beautiful Wife and Family ❤❤❤❤❤
They are my favorite couple ever! She’s beautiful and has a beautiful soul. I love him he’s my favorite BSB. Been a fan for 24 years and counting. 💙
Just so that you know, BSB has been my fav boy band since high school about 18 years ago! They still are and will always be the band I listen to even when I hit 80yo.
And AJ, I am so proud of your transformation =) Here's your die-hard fan from Msia!
Hello Belle
Met him last year after a show in Vegas and he refused to take pictures. He was in the casino bar with howie and their friends. He was still super kind and stood talking with me, but I had a feeling he was not in a sober state. I'm so happy to see him say he gave his addiction and surrendered it to God, having my own demons and doing the same (giving it to God) It is literally the only way to beat addiction. Longtime fan and super proud of AJ, can't wait to see them back on tour, hopefully next year!
The part where is talked about his 3 yr old and her saying her daddy didn’t smell like her daddy. So moving and touching.
AJ has been through a lot, and he is so blessed! I’m happy he is open about his struggles. I have an old acquaintance who’s actually the son of one of my mom’s long time friends who I actually got to know a little more as of recently, and he’s also been struggling with addiction as well. My now friend said he has cut a lot of people off since trying to get over his addiction, and many people have cut him off as well, even some of his own family members including his sister who is several years younger than him. I know he’s been so appreciative of me not being judgmental of him especially when he first told me which substances he’s used.
So proud of you AJ. “Chances” and “No Place” are my favorite BSB songs. Saw you guys @ Barclays Center last year. That was an awesome concert. As they saying goes “behind every great man there’s a woman”. Stay blessed BSB family
No Place is the sweetest song! I sing it (badly) to my husband and 6 year old son.
God, Recovery, and Family.., Big hug to you AJ. We love you. God bless BSB
Correction on the album debute... the album with Backstreets Back was not their debute... it was a earlier album with songs like Get Down, We've Got It Going On... the Backstreets Back album didn't have those.
I love to see AJ taking enjoyment in life and his family. It won't always be an easy path but sobriety is the way to go! I'm proud of him. 💜
AJ will ALWAYS be my fave!!! God bless him!
I will be 6 years sober in January and with God's help I will make it another 6 years.
Despite the drugs and alcohol he was still successful and always when I watch the tour he always had the best voice and life stage performance, not to mention his unique style and tattoos!! "Amazing Artist"
Of course you deserve a beautiful wife and kids. Only because you had some small bumps along life.
Does not mean you do not deserve it. Yes you did. God bless you and your lovely family.
Backstreet Boys will always be in my heart. Lots of awesome memories growing up listening
to all the songs and creating awesome stories along the way..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
All my love and respect for you, AJ ! ❤👏❤
People that diss AJ and his family Shame on you people!! And for you people that hate him and his wife. Look at all he’s gone though and yet with a brave smile on his face. Well Brian was my favorite first AJ my second fave since he went hell and back and for the people that diss these people Y’all aren’t true fans at all!! And AJ if you see this Much love dude you rock man!! Like Brian you also my hero and you have inspired me to never go that route. It’s because of you I wouldn’t ever no matter do drugs not that ever was tempted but this inspired me never to start Thank you AJ!! I’m so proud you dude Much love to you!!
Kids will always tell you the truth. AJ as a long life fan- I am proud of you!
I feel AJ would be so genuine and humble. So glad his daughter was able to open up his eyes. What a beautiful family of 4. Hoping they have a wonderful life together. If I would be lucky enough for AJ to read this, YOU ARE LOVED AND DESERVE TO BE LOVED. Broke my heart when he said he felt he didn't deserve that. Sending a virtual hug always 🤗
I have so much love and respect for him and her it's unreal. When i saw him solo in January and yet again I knew something was off. Now I know I was right. I watched him all night. Glad he's happy clean and sober again. We love you Alexander!💜 You got this!
I LOVE his story!! So much respect. And such a role model. So incredibly impressed.
How can his fans on tour all these years see when he was struggling more than other days, but not the family? Living within it is harder to see on the inside. I am wishing his family the utmost of grace, love and sobriety. ❤️

I was never really a fan of boy bands or anything but I really like AJ and think he's awesome and cool. I hope he continues to go forward. Keep it up AJ. I'm rooting for him on Dancing with the Stars. It would be nice to meet AJ someday. He's very talented and such an awesome guy.

Love you AJ ❤️ my young idol
I'm so proud of u!! I'm a recovering addict. One day at a time. Me and my daughter came to c y'all in concert 2000, 2001. Y'all came out on air boards and u have always been my daughter boy. U came right up beside us and she just started crying. It was in Greensboro NC. All these yrs I'm still a fan at 54. Love AJ!!!
Thanks for the comment and love. I really appreciate your care and support of me. You can contact me in my gmail if you don't mind. alexanderjamesmclean1454@gmail.com
that was really insighful and interesting to know about HOW these things happen in showbiz. He was so straight out open about it "i was introduced to cocaine the night of the The Call video". God bless him on a path to full healing and pure happiness, contentment, peace and joy with his beautiful wife and children!! 😀
"YOU DONT SMELL LIKE MY DADDY" Wow, I felt that.. Daddy's little girl is everything.. Stay strong.
Keep it up. Hold onto those thoughts when moments get tough. I celebrated 8 years this past April and it's funny as it doesn't get easier, I've broken one day at a time down to one hour at a time , though it's not easier I feel so authentic in my sober journey. Everything I do and feel is real. So proud of you!! You've been part of my life via lyrics since you guys began. Sending you love!
I just love this guy, I always have. I'm so happy for him. Beautiful family. His wife is gorgeous.
What an adorable family! This is so inspirational for anyone having a family, a destructive escape, or wanting to pursue a dream.
I opened Aj for myself like 7 years ago, as a man, and the best BSB voice. Before their split in 2004 I was into Brian from 1996))) I knew Aj was taking drugs before, but now listening his soul speech I am shocked! hearing that all this time he was playing with drugs and alcohol! But no matter what I still love him! And his wife is my hero!!! Not so many women can deal with addicted guys! Love you Aj and I'm proud of your decision! You and your family deserve to live in love, peace and sober harmony! Still waiting for all of you in Ukraine! You promised to come here on meet and great in Las Vegas!
Very happy for you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I will always be a fan of the BSB. Hope you win on DWTS.

Fantastic that u love yourself, particularly with what you have been through. My son had addictions as well. U need to love yourself and have support to make it to the other side of addiction. Fantastic!!!!
Perfect example of why AA works. No matter what your higher power is or whether you even have one, it works if you work it. Be proud man, you deserve it.
I think he wears the jacket from the video “Drowning”.
Yeah!!!
Me and my friend meet Aj during the millennium tour. He was so good with us. And defended us when other fans tried to pick on us. He is such a beautiful soul. I'm glad to hear he is on the mend. Wish the same could have happened to Aaron. Xx
Thank you AJ for sharing it all, this means more than anything for you and for everyone who is genuinely caring for you, good luck in all that you do, greetings from Romania, we are waiting for a concert 🥰
Thanks for the comment and love. I really appreciate your care and support of me. You can contact me in my gmail if you don't mind. alexanderjamesmclean1454@gmail.com
He looks so darn handsome. He absolutely shines. I pray for the future to be awesome for him and his family.
So proud of him! A forever fan
