Grammy winner, Voice coach, platinum-selling superstar — there are plenty of ways to describe Christina Aguilera, but to her kids, she's just mom. Christina has two little ones — Max and Summer — whom she adores and loves to spend time with when she's not out touring and selling millions of records. She shares Max with her ex husband, Jordan Bratman, and Summer with her current fiancé, Matthew Rutler. Christina and Jordan, who divorced in 2011, still amicably coparent Max. Christina even shared a photo of them on Max's 12th birthday, writing, "We make blended families work. It's a beautiful thing." Ahead, check out some of Christina's cutest pictures with her kids and get to know them better.
Max Liron Bratman
Max Liron Bratman was born Jan. 12, 2008. He is Christina Aguilera's oldest child and her only child with her ex husband, Jordan Bratman. Max has traveled the world with his pop star mom, but even when she's winning Grammy awards and selling millions of records, she makes time for her kids — even though they weren't planned! She told Haute Living in 2019, "You know, it's funny — even the children I have had, I haven't necessarily planned! I'm very spontaneous when it comes to that."
For Max's 12th birthday, the singer wrote on Instagram, "You have the biggest heart and caring nature, which I'm so proud of seeing and hearing from others who experience being around you - because those are rare, natural instincts that can't be taught!" She also said Max commands attention wherever he goes and continues to teach her about so many things in life.
Summer Rain Rutler
Summer Rain Rutler was born Aug. 16, 2014. She is Christina Aguilera's youngest child and the only child she shares with current partner Matthew Rutler. Summer is already following in her mom's footsteps with her singing skills, which Christina showed off in an Instagram story with Billboard. She also noted that the dogs were not loving it, so maybe Summer needs a little more training with mom. Summer has also already done a bit of modeling. She and Max joined Christina in a special issue of Harper's Bazaar in 2018. In the magazine, Christina said, "I love being a mama bear and providing support, strength, and a safe haven to my babies and loved ones, knowing that, above all else, it's the most important job I have."
