Only two days have passed since the start of 2024, but the new year has already started with big changes, especially for AJ McLean, a member of the Backstreet Boys, who officially announced his separation from him. The singer confirmed that after trying to mend his marriage with Rochelle DeAnna, they have finally decided to make their divorce official after 12 years of marriage. Through a small joint statement, the couple explained that the decision had not been easy at all. However, it was taken by both with deep love and respect.
Through his social networks, AJ McLean indicated that although his relationship with Rochelle ended, they will now continue to be friends and focus on raising their daughters.
“As everyone knows, we have been separated for more than a year. Although we have hoped for a reconciliation, we have decided to officially end our marriage. It is with deep love and respect that we have made this decision. Our focus now is to move forward in the healthiest way possible with friendship and co-parenting our daughters at the forefront of this next chapter,” he wrote.
According to TMZ, AJ, and Rochelle decided to temporarily separate in March 2023 to work on themselves to improve their marriage, something they unfortunately failed to do.
The Love Story of Aj McLean, of the Backstreet Boys, and Rochelle Deanna
AJ McLean and Rochelle DeAnna married in 2011 after having been in a dating relationship for 6 years. The wedding was held at the Beverly Hills Hotel and was attended by all the members of the Backstreet Boys. However, the couple’s relationship little by little began to deteriorate because the problems little by little began to overwhelm the couple, largely because the singer had an addiction to alcohol. Rochelle and McLean have two daughters, Elliott, 11, and Lyric, 6.
