“My heart is completely broken over the passing of my fiancé Aaron. I knew he was struggling, and I tried everything to help him,” Martin said after news broke of the singer’s death. “He has a very independent and strong personality, and I couldn’t help him in the way I felt he needed it.”

She continued, “I only wish I had more people to help me with him. I will now be raising our son as a single mother and this is the worst day of my life, but I have to be strong for our son.”
Carter previously opened up to PEOPLE about his excitement over potentially starting a family back in 2018.
“I’m going to be a good father. I know it,” Carter said at the time. “I want lots of kids, lots of stability, lots of happiness and laughter and learning and having fun. It’s going to be good.”
