Lindsay Lohan has paid tribute to her ex-boyfriend Aaron Carter, who died at age 34 on Saturday.
“My heart goes out to his family and may he rest in peace,” the 36-year-old ‘Falling for Christmas’ star told “Entertainment Tonight.”
“And God bless him…” she added. “And yes, just [a] lots of love there.
In a separate “Access Hollywood” interview, Lohan shared that she cherishes “so many” memories of her time with Carter in the early 2000s.
The “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It)” singer started seeing Lohan shortly after he and fellow star Hilary Duff took a break from their young romance.
During a 2005 interview with CNBC’s “The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch,” Carter explained how her unresolved feelings for Duff, now 35, created a complicated dynamic involving Lohan.
“I started dating Hilary when I was 13. I was dating her for about a year and a half and then I got a little bored so I went and started getting to know Lindsay, dating Lindsay he explained, adding that Duff was “really heartbroken,” which he felt “sorry about.”
“Then I didn’t want to do this anymore, so I came back with Hilary.”
Lohan and Carter were reportedly together between January 2002 and April 2003.
Around this time, the “Freaky Friday” actress told People that everything was fine between her, Carter and Duff, despite the apparent love triangle.
“Aaron and I were friends. That’s my past. That was a few months ago, you know. He’s a cool guy,” she said as a teenager, per “Access Hollywood.” “We are friends. Hilary is a pretty girl. I wish him the best.”
For his part, Duff opened up about Carter’s untimely death on Saturday.
“To Aaron, I am deeply sorry that life has been so difficult for you and that you have had to struggle in front of the whole world,” the ‘Lizzie McGuire’ alum wrote via Instagram over the weekend.
“You had a charm that was absolutely effervescent…boy did my teenage self love you dearly.”
Duff concluded her post by telling Carter to “keep calm” and that she was “sending love” to her grieving loved ones.
Carter, the younger brother of Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter, struggled with addiction and family trauma in the last years of his life. He was found dead in a bathtub at his California home.
“Aaron worked very hard towards the end of his life in recovery, to be a good father and to make amends with his family,” his rep told Page Six after the tragic news.
Aaron got engaged to Melanie Martin in 2020 and they welcomed a son named Prince in 2021.
A cause of death has not yet been determined.
