Xtina "X's" her Husband

Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman

Too bad a ‘genie in a bottle’ can’t save Christina Aguilera’s marriage.

            Christina Aguilera and her music executive husband Jordan Bratman have filed for divorce, after separating on September 11, 2010. The reason for the split is cited as “irreconcilable differences,” according to court papers.

            However, there are allegations that Aguilera, 29, cheated on Bratman, 33, but this has not yet been confirmed.

            The couple has one child – Max, age 2 – who they are seeking joint physical and legal custody of.

            This news is very upsetting to me because I grew up in the ‘90s, idolizing celebrities like Christina Aguilera. In fact, hers was the first concert I ever attended. And now she’s getting a divorce. The same thing happened with Britney Spears. Growing up, she was the girl all my friends wanted to be. My sister and I had a huge poster of her on our bedroom wall. And now she’s a walking disaster that people feel sorry for. It’s strange to watch your childhood idols grow up and become real people with real problems.

            But Aguilera has positive things to focus on in her life. She is co-starring with Cher in a new movie, Burlesque, set to premiere on Thanksgiving. She also has her son to focus on. She told PEOPLE, "Although Jordan and I are separated, our commitment to our son Max remains as strong as ever."

             Hopefully Aguilera can remain strong during this difficult time in her life.
