Aaron Carter and his girlfriend Melanie Martin are set to become parents.
The singer broke the news during an Instagram Live session on Tuesday, as he held up what appeared to be a positive pregnancy test.
"Obviously, I have a baby on the way," he said. "I'm going to be a busy father for sure. This is the official announcement, we're pregnant."
The troubled star, who has battled addiction issues in the past, then confirmed the happy news in a statement to People.
"This is what we both want. We both were trying for it," the 32-year-old commented. "I'm just focused on the future and being a dad. I want to be a good dad. I'm focused, my music career has been doing really well, and touring, having my clothing line out, all that stuff I have going for me that isn't necessarily just music. Family is most important to me.
The pregnancy announcement comes just a month after Melanie was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence following an alleged altercation at Aaron's California home.
After the arrest, the I Want Candy hitmaker tweeted his side of the story and claimed that the incident began when he tried to break it off with her after allegedly finding out she'd been unfaithful.
"So sad," he wrote alongside a link to a TMZ story about Melanie's arrest. "I hope she gets the help she needs. no one deserves domestic abuse female OR MALE #DomesticAbuse #Cheater she literally chocked (sic) me out.... i'm devastated.
"I hope she gets the help she deserves. I tried to give her a new life."
It appears the pair have worked out their differences, however, as Melanie shared a snap of herself and Aaron kissing on her Instagram page on Tuesday, alongside the caption: "Love wins."
