Hilary Duff Pays Tribute to Late Ex Aaron Carter During Lucky Me Tour Stop in Philadelphia

In a poignant tribute to her late ex-boyfriend Aaron Carter, Hilary Duff honored their shared past during her Lucky Me Tour stop in Philadelphia. Wearing a vintage white T-shirt bearing Carter's image, the singer paid homage to their youth as rising stars in the early 2000s pop culture scene. Duff and Carter were romantically involved from around 2000 to 2003, a period marked by their respective success with hits like "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)" and Duff's role on the Disney Channel's Lizzie McGuire.

Their onscreen chemistry, exemplified by a memorable kiss in the show's "Aaron Carter's Coming to Town" episode, blurred the lines between their real-life relationship and their onscreen personas. Carter's legacy extends beyond his music, as he appeared on Lizzie McGuire, further cementing his connection to Duff's formative years.

Following his passing in November 2022, Duff reflected on their relationship, recalling Carter's charm and the difficulties he faced in the public eye. In a recent appearance on the Las Culturistas podcast, Duff shared an intriguing encounter with a psychic who suggested that someone named Aaron would emerge during a reading. Intrigued, Duff connected this to her childhood romance with Carter, describing their bond as that of a "childhood boyfriend."
