Marital Problems And A Divorce Which Took Its Toll
Besides that, she separated from her husband, Jordan Bratman in October of 2010 and their divorce was finalized on April 15, 2011. Christina then began to spiral into a depression and everyone seemed to notice. By the time she filed for divorce in October 2010, she knew her marriage was over. TMZ reported the divorce was due to Christina Aguilera’s infidelities, but other other gossip outlets claimed the couple had an open marriage. It was reported that Bratman may have grown tired of Christina and was repeatedly bringing home other women. When asked about her marriage during an interview with Redbook magazine, she stated, “It’s not easy, and there have been a lot of tears and sadness.” While she had some friends supporting her, the emotional turmoil got the best of her. She said, “On days when it feels impossible to even get out of bed, much less function as a mother, their support and encouragement have kept me moving forward.”
She’s Learned From Her Past
In an interview with People Magazine, she said, “I knew I had to end it.” She stated there were “constant arguments” turning her once happy home into an “unhealthy and unhappy” one for both of them and their child. Christina said the house was “filled with a lot of tension.” She continued, “I knew what I was doing was the right thing for my child because I strongly believe it’s better to have two homes filled with love than one filled with tension. That’s one thing I learned as a child.” When asked again about her childhood, she responded, “My mom tried for years to stay in a marriage that she was not happy in. I would watch her torture herself emotionally.” She went on to explain that she started to feel “more loved and secure” the day her parents finally separated. During the finalization of her divorce, she began a romantic relationship with Matthew Rutler, who served as an assistant on the set of Burlesque.
