Singer Aaron Carter and Hilary Duff, both 26, dated when they were teenagers, from about 2001 until 2003. A quick glance at Aaron’s wiki reveals that he cheated on Hilary with Lindsay Lohan in early 2003, but that he got back with Hilary afterwards before they ultimately split later that year. (To be fair, Lohan was somewhat sober-ish and had a promising future at that point, which she gradually pissed away.)

After Hilary announced early this year that she was separating from her husband, Mike Comrie, Aaron made a series of tweets attempting to get her attention. He retweeted one of her selfies, calling her flawless, and then bemoaned the fact that he lost the love of his life. He also claimed that he would “spend the rest of my life trying to better myself for her.” When someone asked him if he was referring to Hilary, he tweeted that he was. Okay…

I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to better myself to get back to her. I don’t care what ANY of you think. 🙉

Then in April, Aaron told Entertainment Tonight that he would totally win Hilary over if she would just give him a chance. He said he “absolutely” still loves her and that “I don’t know who she is today, she doesn’t know who I am today, but I would sweep her off her feet if I ever got a chance to again and fix what I did wrong.”

So Buzzfeed asked Hilary what she thought about Aaron’s declarations of love for her. She minced words but it’s clear she isn’t taking him seriously:

Buzzfeed: Aaron Carter keeps declaring his love for you, how do you feel about it?

Hilary: (laughs) I was not expecting this question. He does, I keep seeing that, that he keeps doing that. I don’t know how I feel. I mean, that was so long ago, and obviously I’m still married, and I have a baby and we kind of just…

Buzzfeed: Don’t know each other?

Hilary: Yeah, don’t know each other…so…yeah.

Buzzfeed: So it’s just weird.

Hilary: (laughs) You said it, not me!

Seemingly in response, Aaron tweeted that it must be a slow news day at the tabloids and that he’s still learning from his mistakes and is concentrating on his charity work. He’s also tweeting a TON. I had to scroll through so many fan retweets and messages before I found those tweets from less than a day ago. He’s like LeAnn Rimes.

Hilary mentioned in a radio interview earlier this week that she’s not done with her husband yet. She used Goop-speak to say they’re technically “uncoupled” but that it may not be the end for them. She said: “I mean, if there wasn’t a chance for getting back [together], I think we would’ve filed for divorce. We’re not putting any—I talk about this so much, I really don’t want to talk about it anymore—but we are like—I just talked to him this morning! We really care a lot about each other.” That’s nice, maybe they can work it out or maybe they can’t, at least they’re thinking of their kid. Hilary isn’t going to make the mistake of getting back with a dude who cheated on her with Lindsay Lohan when they were 16. I don’t get why Aaron made those tweets. Was he unable to get in touch with Hilary did she rebuff him already and was he hoping to impress her?

Here are photos of Hilary out with her husband last month. She’s also shown at the Teen Choice Awards. Aaron is shown at the premiere of A Haunted House 2 with a 19 year-old actress/model named Madelaine Petsch. That premiere was on April 16, before he told ET that he wanted to get back with Hilary. Who knows what is going on.
