Like celebrity deaths, celebrity splits seem to come in threes. First it was Ben Harper and Laura Dern, then Courteney Cox and David Arquette, and now it’s Christina Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman. According to Us Weekly, Christina and Jordan have been separated for “a few months” and are living apart as we speak. This could be the reason Christina has been looking like ten kinds of hell lately – she’s been dealing with marriage sh-t. Or it could be that she needs to break up with her stylist and makeup artist too.
Singer Christina Aguilera is going solo. Though the pop star, 29, told UsMagaizne.com less than a year ago that she felt “very blessed” in her union with music executive Jordan Bratman, 33, a source close to Aguilera tells Us the couple “have been separated for a few months.”
And though Aguilera and Bratman — who met in 2002 (he was a producer on one of her albums) and wed in 2005 — have not yet decided whether to divorce, the source reveals, “they are now living apart, and they will see how that goes.”
What went wrong?
“They were very much in love,” explains the insider. “But over the last six months, it became clear they were more like friends than husband and wife.”The source adds that Aguilera even “proposed their August trip to Italy to rekindle their relationship, but it didn’t help.”
The duo remain united in their commitment, however, to son Max, 2.
“He is their main concern,” says the pal. Aguilera has even been bringing the tot to the studio while she wraps up the soundtrack for her November 24 musical, Burlesque.
“Christina is doing her best to be a great mom,” says the insider. “She has a lot to juggle, but she’s learning how to make it work and balance it all.”
[From Us Weekly]
Honestly, I find this breakup to be the saddest and least expected of the trilogy. Cox and Arquette I was expecting. Dern and Harper I didn’t care about. But Christina and Jordan really did seem close, and like they were solid. I thought Christina had found a low-key guy who would support her no matter what happened. And they have that baby too! Oh, well. Another bites the dust.

This is sad. I do recall some blog commenting that they would be breaking up soon, but cannot remember which one. I am curious as to why they have split.

So they’re spliting because there’s no spark anymore? Ummm, it’s no a secret this HAPPENS to EVERYONE! But it can come back in a flash!
Hopefully they’ll be patient and work through this.

They have not been seen together in forever.. We see her and the son or he and the boy.
Funny how all the INSIDERS know know anything until it is over.. Where are the rag reporters. All the rags and such missed this too. Why because they all focus on a few couples waiting for them to break up.. Sleeping on the job.
This is sad. they seemed happy, but we don’t really know anything about these people do we.

This is what is wrong in america today. Marriage isn’t about always being sparky and happy. Its about how hard u work everyday to keep the love and commitment alive. Marriage is a joining of families. I’ve been married 2 years and with him almost 6 years and even in the moments that seemed like the spark was gone, wed clear our schedules to make time for each other. I’m not a fan of hers but I hope they make it work

There have been several blinds on other sites that seemed to be about these two. Not that shocking I guess- maybe this is why her music has been so awful lately. Her last CD sucked big time.

@Jodie,, I firmly believe you need some spark to keep the marriage intact..
its the spark that attracted them together u need it to stay together happily.

This one does not surprise me either. My impression is she may (like most celebrities) be a lot to deal with ego-wise and her career has taken a bit of a downturn in the last few years. She seems really ambitious and he seems like a fairly decent, grounded guy. I hope they can come through this OK.

Hey kids, marriage is not one long sexual high. The spark does fade and most successful marriages, the one’[s I’ve seen (30+ years), are the ones where the husband and wife are friends. In fact, they are each other’s best friend. The sparks can return but it takes work and imagination. Please reconcider before you detonate your family.

Very intersting that the tabloids that claim to know everything has never put this couple or Ben and Laura on cover. Bot I’m sure Brad and Angelina or Tom and Katie will be on the covers this week with BS stories about their relationships. I think David and Courtney story broke too late to be on covers

If you look closely, there have been signs with all the couples. The tabs are just too busy making up lies about Brad and Angelina to care for any couple. The Jolie-Pitts never seem apart as a family but you never saw David and Cox together, Christina and Bateman I can say they stopped going out together a few months back. The signs were there, like they say hiding in plain sight.

When I heard of her “sexy sundays” I thought there were in trouble. There is no day of the week to be sexy, and there is no way that your husband doesn’t find you sexy unless you are naked. That is, provided he is the one.

I agree with you, Trillion. What guy can stand back while you take *forever* everyday to get ready. She seems very insecure to me, because she always has a forcefield of makeup on, and her hair is always chemically processed to hell. Guys like natural girls, despite what the media says. Just be YOU. And I think maybe that and her career were dooming the relationship.

Sorry to hear this, if it’s true. They seemed happy, and it’s clear she devoted a good number of songs to their union (“Ain’t No Other Man,” plus a lot of the good ones on _Bionic_ which, to my mind, is better than they’re saying).

As much as I’m not a big fan of hers (amazing voice though) I am sad about this too. I think b/c he’s so unattractive I believed it was true love or something. Sounds like they are trying to be adults about it and focus on their son, so that’s good.

Oh say it ain’t so. This is so sad if it’s true! I hope they can work it out. It’s also so surprising to me because on her Bionic album, there are lots of songs about love and sex that seem directly connected to Jordan and judging by those, they were golden. So, so sad.

Hmm… well Im not sure if spark means only sex. Doesnt it mean that magical attraction between two people– what makes one admire the other, for no obvious reason?
Cos I’ve got a BF, but I dont feel a ‘spark’ and instead we are each others best friends and take care of each other. Ive been thinking to ditch the relationship and find something “better”… and this is getting me to think about it more….
Hmm advice?

It’s a shame. Someone with her talent does not need to put on a pound of makeup everyday and dress like a whore. She isn’t beautiful but she isn’t ugly either so why the false front everyday. Good riddance to her husband. What does he doe anyway? Music executive? What the heck is that? Does he really make any money? I have never heard of him other than as her husband.

I am bummed to learn about this split too, I like the idea that Xtina — after such a drama filled childhood — found her Mr Right and Stable. But I guess the first sign of trouble in paradise was Xtina’s weight gain. She’s always been a tiny girl so I was wondering what was up with her weight gain.

Funny, she always seemed much more into him than he into her but I don’t know either of them and maybe he’s just not the demonstrative type. I’m looking at that pic of her in the white with the pepto-bispol pink lippy and I think one, he looks so over it and two, are those carpet burns on her knees? Maybe this is just a rough patch for them and they’ll be able to work things out but I get the feeling that this marriage is done for good.

Anybody who says there should be a spark in a marriage to keep it alive is DELLUDED.
Marriage is not a can of petrol that you ignite with a match or a flame people. Thats PASSION that you’re mistakening for love. If you go into a marriage with passion as your incentive you’ll be divorced before you’re 40. Hence the saying’ BURNED OUT’
FRIENDSHIP and love are what keep marriages and partnerships strong, because once the passion dies all you have is each other. Anybody who doesn’t like that SHOULD NOT TAKE VOWS. Those that do will learn the hard way.

I really like her song You Lost Me from the Bionic album. Now I think foreshadowing?
Sample lyrics
I am done
smoking gun
we’ve lost it all
the love is gone
She has won
now it’s no fun
we’ve lost it all
the love is gone
And we had magic
and this is tragic
you couldn’t keep your hands to yourself…

It’s the same old story of the spark wasn’t there anymore. Well um, hello, relationships take work and those feelings you feel in the beginning don’t last but you have to continually put forth effort in keeping the passion alive. It’s so annoying to see this. No one goes the distance anymore.

That’s too bad – another hit on her declining career. WHile pr people said her entire concert tour to support her cd was canceled due to technical difficulties, the reality is not enough people wanted to pay her and her label’s ticket prices and had interest in her latest music to make a concert tour worthwhile. SHe needs to completely re-evaluate her career and move away from this dance pop crap. She should consider how RObert Plant has moved in a new direction yet again with his latest cd Band of Joy.

It’s absolutely appalling to me the easiness with which Americans (not just celebs!)choose to end their marriages. In my country, the divorce rate is 5%, meaning 10 times less than in the US – we stick together for better AND FOR WORSE, like you are supposed to.
Equaling ‘marriage’ with ‘spark’ is an absolute frivolity and people who end the marriage when the spark and the fun are over are extremely superficial and definitely not husband / wife material.
You are supposed to LOVE each other and true love is basically UNCONDITIONAL, meaning that it does not cease to exist when times are hard.

People were pointing out months ago how she wasn’t wearing her wedding rings any longer and how they weren’t seen much togather so this is no surprise to me. I heard she’s difficult and maybe he got tired of her drama and she got tired of him not kissing her butt.

I am actually sadden by this one. Relationships end when something happens in your life that can completely crush your ego. Her latest album was not very good and did not do very well, this is something that she never really had to endure. This happened and it home affected her home life and there was a strain. I don’t know alot about her husband, but I like him. He was never in our face, did not try to make a career out of being her spouse and the love seemed genuine. I agree with #17, her career is just not going well right now. You would think that some of these celebrities would think, ‘Oh, I am in a career rut right now, but I have a great husband/wife and healthy child(ren), so life is not so bad.’ Oh, well hopefully it is just a seperation and will not lead to divorce.

Thanks futurestar but correct me if i’m wrong don’t you promote your album by touring? How do you promote an album without going out and doing live concerts. This would have baffled the great rock bands of the 60s and 70s: put out an album and then not go on tour. Sounds like spin to me; be interesting to see the venues she plays in and the actual attendance figures and ticket sales. Sad to say but I don’t think she has many fans anymore. How many of her songs from this new cd are even played on pop stations with any regularity?

I think Christina is a total idiot to do this. Jsut because they aren’t acting like bunnies on viagra doesn’t mean that the marriage should end. They have a SON who needs a father and mother together and I think a non-sparky marriage is good for children since stability is important to a child’s well being. Now, obviously, jsut because Christina isn’t happy does not mean that it’s all about her. It’s about her SON now, not her and her needs. If her husband isn’t abusive or unfaithful, then she should stick it out and get her own wants sidelined. She has a kid, not an accessory.
