- On March 28th, 2023, AJ McLean, the singer from the Backstreet Boys, and his wife Rochelle DeAnna McLean revealed to their fans in a joint statement that they have decided to temporarily split. The couple shared the difficult news, expressing their mutual decision to take some time apart.
- They are separating after 11 years of marriage, but plan to reunite in the future, and are not getting divorced, they confirm.
“Marriage is hard, but worth it. We have mutually decided to separate temporarily to work on ourselves, and on our marriage with the hope of building a stronger future,” – the couple said in a joint statement.
“The plan is to come back together and continue to nurture our love for one another and our family. We ask for respect and privacy at this time.”
They also added that they are requesting everyone to be considerate during this challenging time. As separation can be tough, they ask for respect and privacy. Especially for the sake of our children who are also affected by this situation.
When did AJ and Rochelle start dating first?
In 2009, while on stage, AJ proposed to Rochelle, a 41-year-old makeup artist, and hairstylist. In December 2011, the couple who had been dating for several years tied the knot in a goth-themed wedding ceremony held at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
- Notably, all of the groom’s fellow Backstreet Boys were in attendance to celebrate the occasion.
- Both AJ and Rochelle later welcomed their two daughters: 9-year-old Elliot and 6-year-old Lyric.
How will this separation affect the McLean Kids?
Although AJ’s career on the road has resumed, his children have remained closely connected to him. They have accompanied him on his band’s tours and have even taken part in pre-show traditions along with Rochelle.
The couple’s separation doesn’t seem to have deterred the pop star from spending as much time as possible with his children before embarking on the Backstreet Boys’ worldwide tour. Which is scheduled to begin next month in Iceland.
Just a week ago, AJ took to Instagram to share a delightful birthday tribute and some photographs from his youngest daughter’s rollerskating-themed celebration.
