Born Alexander James McLean in 1978, McLean entered show business at an early age.
He made his film debut at just 10 years old as Little Mike in “Truth or Dare?”
Then, in 1993, McLean and his four bandmates would come together to officially form the Backstreet Boys.
Shortly after the Backstreet Boys found success, McLean began struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.
By 2001, he checked in for his first stay in a rehab facility.
On December 17, 2011, the singer married his wife, Rochelle Deanna Karidis.
The couple has since welcomed their two children.

A year after meeting Karidis, McLean was ready to pop the question.
She has even dabbled in costuming.
Their children are taking after their father, with both girls excelling in dance classes and competitions.
AJ McLean still struggles with balance
It’s no secret that AJ McLean loves his family life.
He has been regularly performing in Las Vegas and released a song as a solo artist in 2019.
McLean used this as an opportunity to teach his daughter about what it means to be a working parent.
