Christina Aguilera is a big star, so her life is often talked about online. Whether it’s her music career or her troubled marriage to Jordan Bratman, Aguilera is always ready to help other artists who are having trouble in the industry.
Aguilera recently spoke out in favour of Britney Spears’ newfound freedom after her 13-year guardianship ended.
The singer of “Genie in a Bottle” wanted Britney to know that she fully supported her, so she said she would “always be there” for her fellow pop star.
“I love being able to talk to other women in that way. Now that we have the ability to connect, it’s more important than ever that we do so and that we always feel like one group.
Fans of both singers know about the ongoing pop war between the two, whose careers happened to be going in the same direction at the same time.
Even though Aguilera is no stranger to scandals and controversies, she may not have been controlled as much as Britney was.
Fans of Christina Aguilera found her marriage to producer Jordan Bratman to be one of the most interesting parts of her personal life, and the fact that they are still friends shows that a breakup doesn’t have to be bad.
Who Is Jordan Bratman?
Bratman has built an impressive career on his own, even though he is best known as Christina Aguilera’s ex-husband.
He is a well-known music producer and executive who has brought many world-famous artists to his own record label.
Since the 1990s, when his father, producer Jack Bratman, got him started in the business, he has worked with artists like Boyz II Men, Michael Jackson, TLC, Pink, and Madonna.
Jordan Bratman and Christina Aguilera
Jordan Bratman and Christina Aguilera met when she was 21 and on her way to becoming a pop star. They fell in love quickly and got married three years later.
During the beginning of her career, Aguilera spent a lot of time writing personal songs. In these songs, she often talked about her family and the abusive home she grew up in.
Since this wasn’t really pop music, she often talked about how her relationship with Bartman helped her feel less lost.
Fans had really been looking forward to their wedding, which cost a whopping $2 million and took place in Napa Valley with 150 guests.
Aguilera’s wedding dress cost $80,000, which seemed crazy for something she would only wear for a few hours.
After she and Bratman broke up, Aguilera talked to People magazine about the beginning of her relationship with Bratman.
“At the time, it felt perfect,” she said. “Jordan and I were best friends at first, but then we became more than that.” He gave me a sense of stability, love, and safety that no other man did when I was growing up. I thought we could be together for the rest of our lives. I wanted to get married to a man who would make a good dad. “Yes, he is,”
In January 2008, Aguilera gave birth to their son, Max Liron Bratman.
Even though the couple didn’t want children, they decided to keep the news of the pregnancy quiet until Paris Hilton accidentally told the world at the 2007 Video Music Awards.
When asked why she and Bratman didn’t tell anyone, Aguilera said that she and Bratman didn’t want anyone else to worry about the baby while she was on her Back to Basics tour.
“There are so many things that could go wrong,” she said. “Someone could slip, someone could fall, or I could fall.” “No way in hell was I going to put my baby in danger for my show.”
The singer also said that she wore a hidden heart monitor on stage. “I took precautions, but I didn’t want to make the audience uncomfortable by saying, “Pregnant lady onstage! Will she be all right?'”
What Went Wrong?
Due to the bad things that happened to her when she was younger, it seemed like Aguilera didn’t want to believe that she and Bratman were meant to be together forever.
In 2009, Aguilera made her musical drama film Burlesque, where she finally learned what it meant to be independent.
By taking Max with her, the singer-turned-actress got away from Bratman and found out more about herself than she ever had before.
“I had an independence I’d never felt before. I was getting better and better every day. I stopped being a girl and became a woman.”
Aguilera says that it was hard to get used to her marriage with Bratman again because she felt like they had kept a lot from each other.
Even though she and Bratman tried to make things work, they decided it would be best for their son if they went their separate ways.
Aguilera saw her mother stay in a bad marriage, so she knew that her respect for Bratman wasn’t a good enough reason to stay unhappy for the rest of her married life.
How Have Things Been Since the Divorce?
During the People interview, Aguilera said that things had been hard since her breakup with Bratman, which was still fresh.
When she was asked how she and her ex-husband talked, Aguilera said:
“For Max’s sake, we talk to each other and try to be as nice as we can, but it hurts. We don’t feel good when we’re together. But I know in my heart that we’ll find a way to laugh together again and that Max will be fine.”
In the years since, it seems like the singer and her ex-husband are getting along fine.
On her 40th birthday in January 2020, Aguilera posted a picture of herself, Bratman, and their son. She wrote in the caption, “We make blended families work. “It’s a lovely thing.”
With her fiance, Matthew Rutler, she has another child, a daughter named Summer.
Bratman and Aguilera are a great example of coparenting, and their high-profile divorce hasn’t stopped them from enjoying life as a family.
The most important thing for Aguilera is to be a hands-on mother to her kids.
“I decided a long time ago not to tour for a while because I thought it would be best for my kids to have a more stable, predictable life. Even when I joined “The Voice,” it wasn’t something I really wanted to do. I just decided, “It keeps me in Los Angeles and in a place where I can focus on my kids.”
