    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.

      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 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’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.

      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

    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💜😀

    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.

    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 😊

    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.
