Christina Aguilera felt “torn” about ending her marriage.
The singer announced she had split from music executive Jordan Bratman
– with who she has two-year-old son Max - in October after almost five
years of marriage and though she had been unhappy for a long time, she
agonised over the effect their separation would have on family life.
She said: "Things were so unhealthy and unhappy for both Jordan and me,
I knew I had to end it. I really didn't want to hurt Jordan, and I felt
torn about splitting our family up."
Though she felt torn about ending her marriage to Jordan, Christina –
whose own parents divorced when she was seven years old – felt it would
be the best for Max if his mother and father went their separate ways.
She explained to People magazine: "When you're unhappy in your
marriage, your children are the ones who suffer. That's the last thing
I wanted for my son."
The 29-year-old star is now dating Matthew Rutler, a set assistant on
her new movie ‘Burlesque’, and she is amazed at how easy he is to speak
to.
She said: "He's the kind of person you could spend hours with on the phone talking to and all of a sudden it's daylight.”
