Christina Aguilera is the new cover girl for the latest issue of Marie Claire magazine, and she’s speaking out about raising her son alone, and her recent weight gain.
Even though she claims her ex-husband, Jordan Bratman, is a wonderful father, Aguilera admits that it’s still tough running a single parent household, and it wouldn’t be possible without the support from others.
Xtina explains, “It’s hard not having the consistency of a partnership on a daily basis. It’s a struggle,” she tells Marie Claire. “But I can’t single out my ex-husband [as the problem] because he’s a devoted father and great with my son.
“We always make sure that we put Max first. I have help from family and good people around me in support of my career. I couldn’t do what I do without a strong team behind me.”
As for how she feels about all of the criticism she has been getting for her weight gain over the last year, the star admits she’s comfortable with her body.
“I’ve been through my highs, I’ve been through my lows; I’ve been through the gamut of all things in this business. Being too thin. Being bigger. I’ve been criticized for being on both sides of the scale,” she tells Marie Claire.
“It’s noise I block out automatically. I love my body. My boyfriend loooves my body. My son is healthy and happy, so that’s all that matters to me.”
The February issue of Marie Claire will hit the shelves on January 17th. Christina will return as a coach on ‘The Voice’ which will premiere it’s second season after the Super Bowl on February 5th.
