According to her own words, singer Christina Aguilera grew up with a lot of violence and still struggles with the memories of it. In the podcast "Call Her Daddy", the American said: "At the age of 42, I am still affected by it. The whole thing hides beneath the surface. A trauma never leaves you, you just find ways to heal it."
Talking about the incidents is their way of therapy. The Grammy award winner admitted, however, that even years later, some films triggered unpleasant flashbacks.
Aguilera is herself the mother of a daughter
The difficult childhood is also noticeable in dealing with her own daughter. Aguilera describes herself in the podcast as a "protective bear mom." She stubbornly tells her child, "The first time someone hits you, the first time someone makes you feel uncomfortable, [you go]."
Aguilera's daughter Summer Rain was born in 2014 and is the daughter of film producer Matt Rutler. She also has a son with her ex-husband Jordan Bratman.
Christina Aguilera is considered one of the most successful pop musicians of her generation, who has been awarded five Grammys. Particularly successful hits of her were "Genie In A Bottle", "Beautiful" or "Hurt". Aguilera is also known for her vocal range of four octaves.
