It's splitsville season in Hollywood, as pop singer Aaron Carter and his girlfriend, Madison Parker have separated. The news came via his representative, who told PEOPLE, "Aaron [Carter] and Madison [Parker] love each other and respect one another dearly. It was a mutual decision and Aaron’s personal statement released speaks for itself. Now back to the music." It seems that the singer is now truly focusing on his musical career, as he recently shared that he is done recording his latest album.
The 29-year old has had a rough couple of months, as he first quit Twitter in June after he experienced bullying and body shaming. He slammed his "fake fans" for talking about his skinny frame and insisted that it was because of a medical condition that he was born with, which was why he remains thin. In July, the singer was arrested for possession of marijuana less than one ounce and other drug-related materials. His girlfriend was also arrested.

He also spoke out about his love for his girlfriend, Madison Parker. He shared that he wants to be married someday, saying, "I wanna be engaged to my beautiful girlfriend, Madison. I wanna be a good father, a good role model, a strong role model." However, that seems to be an impossibility now that the pair has broken up.
