The Backstreet Boys singer was seen carrying his young daughter Ava, two, while wife Rochelle Karidis followed closely behind on an outing in Los Angeles.

The 37-year-old singer - who has been hard at work in the studio recently - enjoyed a relaxed evening with his two leading ladies dressed down in a khaki sweater and camouflage cargo pants.

He displayed his trademark dark beard and shaded his eyes with black-rimmed sunglasses while a matching army-print baseball cap completed the look.

His wife of three years looked casual too in a cute red and white plaid shirt and skinny jeans with trendy rips.

She also toted a funky leopard print handbag.

Little Ava wore a striped sundress and pink crocs and her curly hair tied up on top of her head.

Getting creative: On Thursday A.J. was seen reclining on a sofa in his studio. He captioned the snap 'Taking a break in my new studio working hard on some dope stuff to finish my album as well as writing for some other artists I can't tell u who just yet!!'

A.J, who has struggled in the past battling a drink and drugs addiction, credits Rochelle and little Ava for helping him stay sober.

The family man told People about fatherhood in September, saying: 'It’s crazy! It’s the best thing in the world...There is no more rewarding job - and I’ve been doing this, performing, for over 30 years - to be a father and have a little girl that admires me, loves me, unconditionally.'

Meanwhile, the Backstreet Boys have revealed plans for new music this year.

A.J and his bandmates Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell - last released In a World Like This in 2013, their eighth studio album.
