On social media, the 30-year-old had said he has had relationships with both women and men.

I see myself being with a woman and having kids.” “I want to have a family,” he continued. “I keep telling people that. I don’t want it to be misconstrued too much.” Aaron also said that he believed his ex Madison Parker broke up with him after he told his ex about his being bisexual.
