This just in: non-bisexual Aaron Carter is going to be a father. Maybe. E! News reports the 30-year-old pop star and his girlfriend, artist/Instagrammer Lina Valentina, are maybe probably pregnant.
Last year, Carter made headlines by coming out as bisexual on Twitter. He made headlines again a few months later when he walked back the statement, saying the whole thing was “misconstrued” and he’s really only into chicks.
“Yeah, no,” he said. “I can find men and women attractive, but when it comes down to it … I see myself being with a woman and having kids.”
Naturally, people weren’t pleased. Many accused him of pretending to come out in an effort to drum up publicity for his then-new album, LØVË.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Well, this week, E! News reported that Carter’s vision for himself–“being with a woman and having kids”–may finally be happening.
Carter kinda sorta confirmed the news on Twitter, writing: “I’m in such an amazing place mentally, physically & emotionally. I finally bought my first home and I’m going to be proposing soon to my gf and we might just be expecting.”
They’re not. I’m in such an amazing place mentally, physically & emotionally. I finally bought my first home ? and I’m going to be proposing soon to my gf and we might just be expecting… ???? https://t.co/0IKfXtveYW
— MY ALBUM IS OUT NOW!! (@aaroncarter) November 20, 2018
Given his track record when it comes to making big life announcements on Twitter, we’re going to hold our congratulations until we get actual confirmation.
Carter and his last girlfriend, Madison Parker, split up right around the time he came out as bisexual in 2017. He and Valentina have been dating for a little over two months.

Stuff like this is why I say we need to stop giving so much power to mere attractions or even sexual behaviors and hyping up anybody who will admit to not being 100% inherently conventionally hetero. Attractions or curiosity aren’t the same things as desire, passion, sexual fulfillment, romantic feelings, romantic love, relationships, comfort. I’m sure he has had his traumas and afflictions, and he may not be completely heterosexual. But no doubt the “coming out” was more of a marketing scheme from a troubled person and his team than anything else. I will say that Aaron never said he was “bi”. Social media and commercial media gave him that label, and he merely rode that wave for a few months.
As far as this article goes, no one says to the world that “we just might be expecting”, at least no one with even a lil’ bit of fame or sense. Until it’s official you keep your mouth closed. If only not to test fate and chance. I don’t want to say he put it out there for attention. It’s just not something you want to do unless you know for certain, especially if you’re a “public figure”.

I have to say he’s good at getting himself attention though. First the Drug issue. Then the mental health issue. Then the bi issue. Now the maybe he is and maybe he isn’t having a baby.
He’s doing the PT Barnum “there no such thing as bad publicity”. Madonna was the Queen of that though.

If we stopped being so obsessed with who someone fvcking, if we allow people to just be honest about themselves without so much “coming out” hype, if we embrace that perhaps most people fit on the sexual/romantic/relationship spectrum and if we stop pushing identity so hard then it wouldn’t be so easy to milk the system. But Aaron was always destined to fail. Using the “I might be kinda bi” trope merely for attention and publicity only gets you a decent amount of sustained hype if you’re an A or B lister, if you’re genuinely interested in legitimately dating someone that’s not the opposite cis gender and/or if you’re hot and not quite as meth-head-looking.
Still, like when he initially “came out” I continue to wish him well. No matter how manipulative he is it’s apparent the dude’s got a ton of issues.
Chrisk
I laugh at all the thirsty queens that were crowing about it. If you said anything negative you’d be attacked as a bitter hater.
Of coarse it all came out when he was pimping his new album and needed attention. It predictably flopped and low and behold he’s no longer bi. Lol

I don’t deny he’s an attention whore, but in the entertainment industry that’s really more a matter of degree than is/isn’t. He admitted to same-sex experiences as a teenager. It was the LGBTQ-LMNOP media that turned it into a big deal. As others here have said, maybe everyone should stop obsessing over who everyone else sleeps with — and I will add that we should stop making people famous simply based on who they do or don’t sleep with.
Donston
He definitely manipulated the media on purpose. Within a week of “coming out” he did a couple of radio interviews promoting his upcoming music, posted a lot of vague things on social media to continue to push the “coming out” arc, talked about how he was “open” to dating men and wasn’t sure what type of person he wanted to be, hyped up how his new music was going to give people further insight into himself and his struggles (gotta keep making sure people stay interested in the upcoming music), randomly performed at a random gay club and dropped a new single. He certainly egged everything along and used the “coming out” as a way to promote. But social media and commercial media always falls for this stuff and then solely blames the person at the center of it when they often share a lot of blame.
I don’t care about famous people (or anybody for that matter) revealing every nook and cranny of themselves, adhering to and pushing an identity, or who someone is sexually engaging with. The disappointing thing for me are people who feel they can’t be close to being themselves, can’t be with who they want to be with and/or who hide long-term partnerships because of homophobia, internalized homophobia, public persona and the fear of limiting their career.
Ultimately, it’s clear he’s an overall troubled dude.

Why does gay media consistently support “celebrities” that are toxic to the gay community?

Damn good idea to quote Barnum! Remember what he also said… “There’s a sucker born every minute”. We’re not sure if he was being literal, though. Don’t buy diapers too soon…

Once upon a time he actually was pretty attractive…now the straights can have him….
