Martin also shared a photo of Prince's Spider-man-themed birthday cake on her Instagram Story, as they celebrated at Chuck E. Cheese. The red and blue cake was topped with a yellow candle and an edible image of Aaron holding the birthday boy.
Melanie later posted a boomerang of herself releasing Prince's birthday balloons in the sky, which she captioned, "Have to be strong for our son."
In another post on Wednesday, she also shared video of a billboard in Times Square in New York City from his "fans and supporters" which showed the late singer and the adorable 1-year-old boy. (below)

Following the news of Carter's passing, the OnlyFans content creator told Us Weekly about the future plans she had with the "I Want Candy" singer before his death.
"I was really looking forward to getting married and having more children with him," Martin explained. "I feel like we were very close and I was looking forward to spending the holidays with my family again. I am beyond devastated waiting until I can meet my wonderful soulmate again. We never gave up on our love and I feel like we both couldn't live without each other."
According to TMZ, who first reported the news, the "Aaron's Party" singer was found dead at his Lancaster, CA home. He was 34.
Melanie and Aaron began their relationship in January 2020, but went their separate ways after she was arrested for felony domestic violence against Carter. The couple eventually reconnected in April of the same year and announced they would be expecting their first child.
Unfortunately, Carter announced that Martin had suffered a miscarriage in June, but the twosome were able to celebrate some happy news when they got engaged the same month. Melanie and Aaron eventually welcomed their son Prince in November 2021.
