Melanie Martin is showing off her son Prince's ability!
The model, involved in an on-and-off relationship with Aaron Carter, welcomed a child in November 2021, before the singer's untimely passing a year later. Being a single mother is daunting, but judging by her most recent clip, she seems to be doing a great job raising the 1-year-old alone.
Aaron Carter & Melanie Martin's Son Impresses By Recognizing Numbers
Taking to her Instagram story, the entrepreneur, in a proud mom moment, shared a video of her little one demonstrating his impressive ability to recognize numbers at such a young age. Dressed in a blue Reebok shirt over jean shorts, the tiny tot walked over to Martin as she held up a playing block with a figure on it.
She asked him what numbers were on several squares, and Prince responded correctly. In the end, she held up the number eight, but instead of answering as he had done for the others, he took the square figure from her and placed it in a larger one. Rather than insist on getting a reply from him, she ended the video with a laugh as he continued to play with the toys.
The former bartender is doing an excellent job as a mother, and although she is determined to remain strong for him, it does not stop her from reminiscing about the late father of her child since his passing. In March, The Blast reported that she shared a sweet detail about the birth of their baby boy.
The Bulgaria native expressed her nostalgia for the "I Want Candy" singer on her Instagram story by recalling various aspects of their time together, such as him holding her hands while driving, watching movies together during holidays, and his amusing dance moves.
Additionally, she divulged how he had been a pillar of support during the birth of their child, writing, "I miss you, holding my hand in the hospital room to give birth to Prince." Martin elaborated on other things she missed about the dancer, such as watching him play the piano and drums, his funny accents, and his penchant for singing Christmas songs.
She added, "I miss ordering a whole buffet on Uber eats and sampling everything because that's how you like to do it," before expressing her longing for the times when they used to swim in their pool and sunbathe together as a couple.
Earlier in the year, she recalled a more intimate occasion in her relationship with the late "Blacklisted" singer - a moment that may have led to the conception of their child. The mother-of-one uploaded footage posted initially by the "Fat Albert" actor, which showed the lovebirds engaged in full-on PDA in a hot tub during their trip to Park City, Utah, in February 2021.
Carter had labeled the clip, "Engagement Valentine Week ❤️❤️❤️," but in her report, she included some personal information by adding a caption that read, "And then the Prince was made🤴." It was evident that she was referring to the conception of their son, Prince, who was born on November 21, 2021.
Melanie Martin Regains Custody Of Son Prince Carter
Just a few weeks after Aaron Carter's untimely death, his on-and-off fiancée Martin was finally granted full custody of their one-year-old son. As reported by The Blast, she was awarded custody of the toddler during a hearing in Los Angeles, where he had previously been in the care of her mother due to concerns about drug abuse and domestic violence.
Despite being in New York at the hearing, the "Only Fans" content creator quickly arranged to travel to California and retrieve her son once the decision had been reached.
Speaking to TMZ, she expressed her joy about the outcome saying, "I'm honoring Aaron today, and I know he would be so proud of me." The 30-year-old admitted, "I'm very emotional thinking we could have been a family, but Aaron would be so happy knowing I got him back."
Surprisingly, the "Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off" star's mother, who had previously expressed her disapproval of the model, also noted her satisfaction with the court's decision to grant custody of her grandson to Martin. According to her, "the child should be with the mother," indicating her support for the younger woman's role as a parent.
