AJ McLean and estranged wife 'have been going out on dates'
The 47-year-old singer announced his separation from Rochelle in 2023, but AJ admits that the "love is still there" regardless of their current relationship status.
The Backstreet Boys star - who has daughters Elliott, 12, and Lyric, eight, with Rochelle - told Us Weekly: "We're doing good.
"We are co-parenting to the best of our ability, and we both have a lot of growing to kind of still go through, but I think we are moving in a really positive direction."
AJ suggested that he and his estranged wife could be on the road towards a reconciliation.
He explained: "We have a family together that's obviously not going anywhere.
"We have been spending a lot of time together as a family and, you know, her and I going out on dates here and there."
AJ's marriage suffered amid his struggles with drug addiction. But the chart-topping singer insists he's now in a much better place and he remains hopeful of reuniting with Rochelle one day.
He said: "Now things are completely different, but I think different in a good way for both of us.
"Fingers crossed that everything works out in the end, but either way, we'll always be close and love each other and be the best parents we could be for our girls."
In 2024, AJ revealed that he remained hopeful of reconciling with Rochelle.
The singer admitted that all options were still open, in spite of their high-profile split.
He told Us Weekly at the time: "I think we're in the best place we've almost ever been. So, you know, there's high hopes for the future. Who knows?"
Despite this, AJ acknowledged that his sobriety was his short-term priority.
The singer suggested that he needed to overcome his personal issues before he turned his focus towards Rochelle and their relationship.
The I Want It That Way hitmaker - who married Rochelle back in 2011 - said: "I'm just trying to stay focused on my sobriety, my kids, spending time with my family. Rochelle and I have an amazing relationship, and we're having a great time, honestly."

Hollywood stars Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirm split after months of speculation
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have confirmed their split. The pair had been battling split rumours for months, as the pop singer took her Lifetimes Tour around the globe, including a recent sold-out leg in Australia. 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,' representatives told US Weekly magazine on Friday. 'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.' The separation is believed to have begun at the start of the year. The pair recently marked 10 years of being a couple after getting engaged in 2019. They share daughter, Daisy, four, who they welcomed in August 2020. Bloom also has a son, Flynn, 14, with Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr. Perry was seen tearing-up on stage at her Adelaide show, with speculation rife it had to do with her relationship with Bloom. 'Thank you for always being there for me, Australia,' Perry said at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. She then made a heart with her hands, before adding: 'It means the world.' Perry will next take the stage in Denver on July 10. Meanwhile, Bloom was last spotted in Venice attending the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, where he was seen chatting to Kim Kardashian. During the trip, Bloom shared a cryptic Instagram post about 'moving forward', which many thought was a reference to his relationship with Perry.
