In a recent post on her official website, Sarah Martin confirmed that Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean and herself are still in contact, trying to make things work in their relationship. Responding to a fan’s question about the pair, Martin responded, “Alex and I? We are doing very well right now. We are talking several times a day, and we see one another pretty often these days. We have made a commitment to each other to build a strong foundation for our future (It’s hard work on both of our parts). He is in New York today and will be attending the MTV Awards on Thursday, so tune in to see if you can catch him in the audience. He’ll also do a little ‘red carpeting’ so that he can talk a bit about what’s going on in his life. He is working very hard right now on trying to discover who he is deep down inside, and outside of being a Backstreet Boy. That’s pretty much been his identity for a long time and he needs to get to know himself again. I am doing all that I possibly can to support him through the process. The doggies go to his house 3 times a week which not only helps me so that I can get a little break, but it also is helpful for him on a responsibility level, ya know?”
