Biography:
She was born in Staten Island on December 18th
1980. Christina Aguilera is one of today’s pre-eminent divas. After competing
on Star Search at the age of 10, Aguilera became a regular on the Mickey Mouse
Club alongside Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.
Her self-titled debut sold eight million copies in the
U.S. in 1999, leading to a “Best New Artist” Grammy in 2000. With her second
effort, Stripped, Aguilera began to cast herself as the “dirty girl” response
to Spears. In 2004, the singer dropped the Dirrty persona and adopted her
now-signature Marilyn Monroe look. Her third album, a double-disc set titled
Back to Basics has a much more mature sound—and has done much better with
critics.
Christina married record executive Jordan Bratman in
2005. The couple welcomed their first child, Max, in January 2008. However, in
October 2010, Aguilera filed for divorce from Bratman; she requested joint
legal and physical custody of their son.
She made her big screen debut in the 2010 musical
Burlesque. Christina began an offscreen relationship with production assistant
Matt Rutler. Aguilera is currently a mentor on NBC’s The Voice alongside Blake
Shelton, Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green.
