Celebrity splits are a dime a dozen, but fans were truly shocked when Christina Aguilera announced she was divorcing her husband of five years, music executive Jordan Bratman.
While the glamorous singer and the unassuming Bratman seemed like an unlikely pair, media coverage of their relationship seemed to indicate that the two were truly in love. In the latest issue of PEOPLE, the ‘Burlesque’ star opens up about the reasons why she decided to leave Bratman and how she believes it will benefit her family in the end.
“Things were so unhealthy and unhappy for both Jordan and me, I knew I had to end it,” Aguilera says. “I really didn’t want to hurt Jordan, and I felt torn about splitting our family up.”
Aguilera, who witnessed domestic violence in her childhood home and the subsequent divorce of her parents, realized her troubles with Bratman would soon begin to take a toll on their two-year-old son, Max.
“When you’re unhappy in your marriage, your children are the ones who suffer,” she says. “That’s the last thing I wanted for my son.”
While there’s been speculation of Aguilera being involved with a number of industry players since her filing, ‘Burlesque’ set assistant Matthew Rutler seems to have captured her attention for the time being.
“He’s the kind of person you could spend hours with on the phone talking to and all of a sudden it’s daylight,” Aguilera says.
