In a recent episode of the Las Culturistas podcast, Hilary Duff shared that her late ex-boyfriend Aaron Carter visited her during a psychic reading. Duff explained that she occasionally sees psychics for entertainment and validation, and on one call, the medium identified Carter as being present, much to Duff's surprise. While Duff didn't disclose the full message from Carter, she said it made sense given her continued friendship with his sister Angel.
