Nick Carter and Lauren Kitt expecting first child

NULL

Nick Carter and his wife are expecting their first child together. The Backstreet Boys singer and fitness expert and actress Lauren Kitt - who tied the knot in 2014 - will welcome a baby next year. A source told Us Weekly: "They are so happy and overjoyed. They've been trying and waiting for such a long time." Nick and Lauren met, 32, in 2013 and the 35-year-old singer admitted she changed his opinion on marriage after he had previously vowed never to tie the knot. Meanwhile, Nick - who had a troubled childhood and is estranged from his parents - has credited his bandmates, A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell, with giving him the family that he never had. The 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant said: "They became the family that I didn't really have at that time. All the other guys had great families and great morals, and things that I could connect to and learn from, and really reflect with my own family. I was really able to learn from the guys." Asked to pinpoint the troubled spot in his childhood, he said: "It was a lot about money and all the things we didn't have. It was just a lot of tension within the household and alcohol was definitely always around us all the time, so I was kind of tortured for so many years and had a lot of stress. I saw that I couldn't save them or actually have that family. "In a way though, I was saved by the guys and God gave me a new life."
