Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell (aka one of my top two favourites) was seen with his wife Leighanne and adorable son Bailey out and about in Yorkville tonight, heading out for a late dinner at Café MoRoCo. Littrell, in town for a concert at Molson Amphitheatre tonight with his band mates has been in-town since Thursday night and made some time today to do a bit of Golfing.
He Tweeted to his fans that he was enjoying S’mores, challenging fans to find him. This alarmed a slew of fans to arrive at the restaurant’s doorstep. Upon leaving Café MoRoCo with bags filled with their specialty Macarons and Truffles, his Security Guard ushered fans back to his Hotel where they were lined up and took photos with Littrell one-by-one. Generosity incarnate. And he looked thrilled actually to be greeting his fans.
Leighanne appeared fatigued, heading back to their Room first, although their son Bailey was all smiles at the Hotel’s entrance, playing with a Sobieski Vodka Keychain Light (the same ones handed out at last night’s Bruce Willis party), shining it on fans waiting on his famous Daddy.

(11/27/02, 3 p.m. ET) — Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell and his wife Leighanne welcomed their new baby boy into the world on Tuesday (November 26) at 7:41 p.m. ET in Atlanta, Georgia. Baylee Thomas Wylee Littrell, the couple’s first child, weighed in at six pounds, seven ounces.
Both mother and baby are doing well, according to a statement from the Backstreet Boys Jive Records label. The couple said, “God has blessed our family in so many ways, and we are proud and very excited to welcome our new healthy baby boy into the world.” Brian and Leighanne married on September 2, 2000.
The baby arrived just one day after the Backstreet Boys filed a $75 million lawsuit against Zomba Recording Corporation, the parent company of Jive Records, claiming that a fourth studio album was bypassed in favor of the solo project by group member Nick Carter.

Excerpt from FoxNews
Still, the Boys are not giving up and they shouldn’t. I ran into Brian Littrell with his wife Leighanne at the InStyle/Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar party. They were waiting on line patiently along with everyone else including actors (Rosanna Arquette) and regular folk. The Littrells are a cute young couple, and Brian can sing — witness “I Want It That Way.” He could probably have a solo popstar career, but chooses to stick with the group.
My guess is that the group will drop “the boys” part of their name and re-emerge simply as Backstreet with an edgier sound and a more planned future. Good luck to them. Hopefully their legions of fans will follow them into the next chapter of their career.
