In a recent episode of the popular podcast ‘Las Culturistas,’ Hilary Duff opened up about a remarkable experience involving a psychic, who asserted that the spirit of her former boyfriend, Aaron Carter, made contact with her during a session. This revelation comes in the wake of Carter’s untimely passing in November 2022 at the age of 34.

During the podcast, Duff, now 38, reflected on her lasting connection with Aaron’s family, particularly his sister, Angel. The actress disclosed that the two remain good friends and often discuss Aaron. “I’m friends with Aaron Carter’s sister still, Angel. Our children go to the same school. She’s a lovely person, a literal angel,” Duff shared. Her close relationship with Angel appears to have remained strong in the years following their shared history with Carter.
Duff revealed her penchant for exploring psychic readings, horoscopes, and tarot cards about twice a year. She narrated the story of her latest encounter with a psychic, whom she described as difficult to reach, managing to finally connect with her after several weeks of attempts. “I get on the phone with her and she’s like, ‘Oh, you have such bright energy. I’m so excited to talk to you today,’ ” Duff recounted, expressing her initial delight at the compliment.
The interaction took an unexpected turn when the psychic announced that someone named Aaron was trying to communicate, spelling out his name with two ‘a’s. “I was like, ‘Oh my God. Is it Aaron Carter?’ And she’s like, ‘Sure is. What the hell is he doing here?’” Duff described, revealing her surprise and curiosity about the presence of her childhood sweetheart during the session.
The actress explained that the psychic’s query about her identity only added to the experience’s surreal nature. As they continued the conversation, the psychic shared that Duff’s song “So Yesterday” had played a significant role in helping her through a breakup, which seemed to resonate with the singer. “Anyway, yeah, a really wild experience,” Duff summed up.
Aaron Carter, who rose to fame in the early 2000s, died in an accidental drowning attributed to drug use. He and Duff had a brief but memorable relationship during their teenage years, having dated in 2001 before parting ways in 2004. At the time of his passing, Duff expressed her condolences on social media, remembering him fondly. “I am deeply sorry that life was so hard and that you had to struggle in front of the whole world,” she wrote in her heartfelt tribute. “You had a charm that was absolutely effervescent. Boy, did my teenage self love you deeply.”
Since their breakup, Duff has moved on in her personal life and is happily married to Matthew Koma, with whom she shares four children. Nonetheless, the fond memories of her past with Carter remain, as does her sincere connection with his family.
As she continues to navigate her personal and professional life, Duff has also been busy in the studio, with her latest album, *luck… or something*, released earlier this year in February. The continued exploration of her music career seems to be interwoven with her reflections on past relationships and the memories that accompany them.
This intriguing encounter with the psychic not only reignited memories of Aaron Carter for Duff but also highlighted the enduring impact of their youthful romance. The conversation on ‘Las Culturistas’ serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of love, loss, and the bonds that transcend even the deepest sorrows, marking a chapter in Duff’s life that continues to resonate with her, as well as fans who remember the couple fondly.
