Aaron Carter cradles newborn son Prince Lyric in first photos since wife Melanie gave birth via emergency C-section

AARON Carter was all smiles as he delicately carried his newborn son outside his California home on Wednesday.

The proud papa cradled son Prince Lyric, wrapped snug in a blue and white striped blanket.

Dad wore a white hoodie with matching white beanie with the word "Love" emblazoned across the front.

It was the same beanie he was wearing when the little boy was born.

Hi shy fiancée, and new mom, Melanie Martin wrapped her hands tightly around Aaron's waist, hiding behind him.

Aaron, 33, announced on November 22 that he was a new father. But there was one unexpected complication.

"Emergency C Section after 13 hours of labor but my fiancée is in great health,"; he shared on Instagram. "Thank you lord and the incredibly sweet loving staff here.

"Prince is precious, I love you son. Your mommy loves you as I drop tears on the phone. This is me cutting his umbilical cord my precious family."

Aaron added: @missmelaniemartin, I’m so proud of you hunny. You did it. I Love you with all my heart. My beautiful blessings from god."

WHO'S THAT GIRL

Aaron and Melanie went public with their relationship in January 2020. The Bulgarian-born bartender is also a brand ambassador on Instagram and has even dabbled in porn.

As he shared a photo of his new love online, Aaron wrote at the time: “She loves me she loves me not, she woke me up from napping but I’m not complaining.”

In February, the singer hinted that things were getting serious when he referred to the lash bar owner as his “wife.”

The couple got engaged in June to show their commitment to each other.

In March 2021, Aaron revealed Martin was pregnant with their first child by showing off positive tests in a home video.

The couple had previously miscarried, making this their rainbow baby.

BABY PRINCE

Aaron and Melanie, 29, decided to name their first little one Prince Lyric after iconic pop star Michael Jackson, who Aaron revealed was a friend and mentor to him.

Weeks before their baby's arrival, Aaron shared his excitement with fans, posting: "He’s almost here!!! We’re so ready to be parents. So grateful for your support.

"Thank you for allowing me to grow and prosper so I could be the best dad possible with the best mom, fiancée, and my future wife..."
