Since coming clean to Us Weekly about his infidelity, Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean and fiancee Sarah Martin are still rebuilding their relationship. Though the couple arrived separately and Martin wasn’t wearing her engagement ring at the March 1st Soul Train Awards, they were optimistic. “He’s got some work to do before we’ll be ready for each other,” Martin said. McLean added: “We’re communicating and we’ll make sure [the wedding] happens eventually.”

The New York Daily News reports Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean and fiance Sarah Martin were back together last weekend at a party for Nelly at the W Hotel in Los Angeles. “For three weeks I was pretty much curled up in a ball by myself in the dark,” Martin said after AJ told her he had cheated on her with a woman attending AA. “My face was transformed from the pain… then I realized how strong I was.”
