Duff and Carter had an on and off relationship, with Carter making an appearance on Duff’s hit show, “Lizzie McGuire.” Their relationship eventually came to an end around the same time Carter briefly dated Lohan.

Nick continued, “I have always held onto the hope, that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed. Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss. But the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here.”
