Carter Family Tragedy: Bobbie Jean’s Heartbreaking Departure at 41
The Carter family is grappling with another tragic loss as Bobbie Jean, aged 41, has passed away. She was the sister of musicians Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys and the late Aaron Carter, known for his hit “I Want Candy.” Bobbie Jean, who served as Aaron’s wardrobe stylist and makeup artist in the early 2000s, was found in her home, and the cause of her death remains undisclosed.
This marks the third early loss for the Carter family, adding to the challenges they have faced. Bobbie Jean’s mother, Jane Carter, expressed the need for time to process this devastating reality. She requested privacy to grieve and asked the public to keep Bobbie Jean’s eight-year-old daughter, Bella, in their thoughts, as she is now without both parents.
Bobbie Jean gained visibility on the E! reality TV show “House of Carters” in 2006, featuring the family dynamics of Nick Carter and his four full siblings. She played a significant role in the family’s music business, particularly for Aaron Carter, during the peak of their careers.
The Carters have faced a history of complexities, including abuse and addiction. Aaron passed away last year at 34, and in 2019, he publicly accused his sister Leslie of abuse. Leslie had passed away in 2012 at 25 due to an overdose. The family history also involved accusations of abuse against Nick, which his legal team denied. Despite their complicated relationships, Nick expressed love for Aaron in a heartfelt Instagram post after his death.
Now, the surviving siblings are Nick and Angel, while Bobbie Jean’s daughter, Bella, continues to navigate the challenges of growing up without her parents.
