The National Enquirer reports that Debra Lafave, the sexy blonde teacher whose scandalous relationship with a 14 year old student has shocked America, has another surprising secret in her past.

She dated Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.

“Nick was almost a year older than Debbie,” a friend revealed. “He didn’t go to East Bay High, but everybody knew who he was because his singing career with the Backstreet Boys was starting to go places. He and Debbie were together all spring and through the summer of ’95 whenever he was in town. They were always holding hands, kissing and whispering to one another.”
