Christin Aguilera is known for being a bold and fearless artist but her experiences as a newly single mother have revealed a more human side to the singer. While discussing her life in February issue of Marie Claire magazine, Aguilera noted that since her divorce, she has made every decision of her life for the benefit of her song, Max.
Speaking of tough choices, Aguilera will have many tricky decisions to make on the upcoming second season of ‘The Voice’. From choosing her pupils to developing strategies to outfox her fellow coaches, Aguilera will have an exciting journey as she attempts to achieve glory as the mentor who discovers the next great American singer.

Still, raising a child alone has proven to be difficult for the singer. “It’s hard not having the consistency of a partnership on a daily basis,” Aguilera said. “It’s a struggle. But I can’t single out my ex-husband [as the problem] because he’s a devoted father and great with my son,” she added. “We always make sure that we put Max first.
