*father – Ecuadorian, including Spanish [Andalusian, Castilian, Extremaduran, Leonese], Galician, likely around one eighth Swedish, remote Indigenous Quechua

Christina Aguilera is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and television personality. She starred in the film Burlesque. She is also known as Xtina, Baby Jane, and the “Voice of a Generation.”
Her father, Fausto Wagner Xavier Aguilera Monge, was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, of Spanish [Andalusian, Castilian, Extremaduran, Leónese], Galician, likely around one eighth Swedish, and remote Indigenous [Quechua], descent. Her mother, Shelly Loraine (Fidler), was born in Pennsylvania, and has English, and smaller amounts (to varying degrees) of German, Irish, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, French, Welsh, and Dutch ancestry. A picture of young Christina and her father and sister can be seen here.
Christina has a son, Max Bratman, with her former husband, producer Jordan Bratman; and a daughter, Summer, with her fiancé Matthew Rutler.
Christina’s mother has said:
Fausto [Christina’s father] and I both have brown hair. And as for why Christina’s came out blonde, well, the Aguilera side of the family says that they believe she got it from Fausto’s deceased brother Walter, who was blonde haired with blue eyes (see guys!! And he was 100% Latino!!). It’s not as uncommon as people seem to want make it out to be.
Christina’s paternal grandfather was Fausto Aguilera Calderón (the son of José Antonio Aguilera Masías and Zoila Cristina Calderón Petterson). Fausto was born in Quito, Distrito Metropolitano de Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador. Zoila was the daughter of Rodolfo Calderón Usubillaga and Cristina/Christina Petterson/Peterson Bauman/Bowman, who was evidently born in Sweden.
Christina’s paternal grandmother was Edna María Monge Verduga (the daughter of César Monge Serrano and María Lucrecia Verduga Zambrano). Edna was born in Manabi, Ecuador. César was the son of Bruno Fidel Francisco Monge Carrasco and Josefina Serrano Valdivieso. Christina’s paternal four times great-grandfather, José Félix Valdivieso, was a politician, who served as mayor of Quito, and as de facto President of Ecuador, from 1834 and 1835, among other duties.
Christina’s maternal grandfather was Lowell Marley Fidler (the son of Marlie Alfred Fidler and Pluma Violet Osburn). Lowell was born in West Virginia. Marlie was the son of Minor Lough Fidler and Ivy Luvela/V. Wyant/Wiant. Pluma was the daughter of Emory Porter Osburn and Emma Louise Radcliff.
Christina’s maternal grandmother was Delcie Mable/Mabel Dunfee (the daughter of Primrose Calvin Dunfee and Bertha Mae Allen). Delcie was born in Pennsylvania. Primrose was the son of Oliver D. Dunfee and Elizabeth Josephine Holland. Bertha was the daughter of Joseph Earl Allen and Mary Elizabeth Brownlee.

Hispanic is an ethnicity not a race! Since when did they make it a race!! Stupid govenment!
Have you forgotten what this website is called?-ethniccelebs. You are a typical idiot. Stupid Jewel!
Being LAtino/a is obviously a cultural thing. Id say DNA wise Cristina aguilera is 100% European. Her dad may be from Ecuador, but I dare to bet he is of Spanish descent.
Here in Spain, as we’re in Europe, there are also a lot of non-mediterranean types besides the stereotypical meditteranean types.
You are absolutely correct. Saying you are Ecuadorian is no more an indication of your race than saying you are Canadian. A person could be a black Ecuadorian, a white Ecuadorian, or an indian Ecuadorian. For the record, according to the CIA World Factbook, Ecuadorians are 65% indian/white mixed, 25% pure indian, 7% white (mainly European Spanish), and 3% black, i.e., of African descent. You will find similar percentages in most Central American and South American countries with the exception of Brazil, which has a much greater African influence (39% are mulatto, i.e., black/white mixed, and 6% are pure black–both groups being descended from the many African slaves brought there by the Portugese). But 54% of Brazillians are white, and about 10% of those are of pure German descent. Take Gisele Bundchen for example. People always think she’s this exotic mixed race Brazilian, but she’s actually 100% white, i.e., German (Bundchen is obviously a very German surname, like mine). Historically, millions of Germans migrated to Brazil starting as far back as the 1800s. They dominate many parts of southern Brazil and even celebrate Oktoberfest (a traditional German holiday) there. As for Christina Aguilera, she may have a few drops of indian blood from her dad’s side, but for the most part I’d say she’s at least 75% or more white.
you seem very knowlegeable! However on the 54% of brazilian being white, I would say at least 20-40% of these ‘white’ brazilians are actaully racically mixed in some way! I would estimate the number of pure white brazilians to be about 30% however ‘white’ looking or ‘white’ ish brazilians do make up 54% of the population!
The same happens in USA, many peole have african and Native American ancestors but nobody cares,they are still white
All right, if 10% of brazilian people are of German descendency then I must have been born and living ever since in another country then Brazil and people are being very convincing telling me otherwise! i would say about 2%, tops, are of German descendency. After portuguese, the main white oringin of brazilians is perhaps italian. Gisele Bundchen is really not representative of the people, being born in the very south of the country.
WRONG. SO DUMB.
First off I don’t mean any disrespect to Christina but I don’t believe that she is a biological Aguilera. The man she refers to as her father is clearly a black and indian Ecuadorian. Plus in alot of her first interviews she never said she was of latin decent the only thing she ever said about spanish is to tell us her mother was a spanish teacher. And I have noticed something very important when a celebrity can’t prove what they say to you especially when it’s about heritage they always say that the person is or was abusive to them as an excuse for never being around them. Basically she is a 100% white girl who riffs alot, and she says she of latin decent to sell records.
Most Latin folks in South America, with the exception of all the native american indians, are white. Argentina, outside of Europe, is the most European nation in the world. The USA doest have that many white folks. BTW Cameron Diaz is Cuban. Her that was a white Cuban with Spanish origins. Spaniards, think Pau Gasol, were the first white folks to land in the new world when they conquered. More than 100 yrs before the Brits. They also brought the first black slaves into the Americas.
WRONG. SO DUMB. Claiming that most of them are white is so very racist and ignorant. So many slaves were brought to South America, more than any other colonized place. Native America are very much still there. Argentina is a disgrace to the world. Claiming it European is fitting considering how the Europeans destroyed the world and EVERY single race of people on the EARTH. Why are you so racist and stupid Marta Paglianni? I blame your parents.
@cc Look what the Chinese did to the Tibetans. Look at countries in Africa like Rwanda and Somalia, Africans killing other Africans. These are just examples. You can’t blame Europeans for all the world’s ills. There are good and bad in every race. Not all Europeans are bad and not all Africans are good. You are being racist yourself.
She is not 100% European racist. She’s American.
Glad she’s not racist? The only “racist” celeb I know of is Mel Gibson and look what Hollywood did to him! Don’t you find it odd how Hollywood is ran by Jews and whoever questions them or their Holocaust gets trashed by the JEWISH media? Well you idiots wouldn’t know anything about that because your a product of their globalist goals. Have fun watching your horrible chick flick movies. I’ll stick with the classic old westerns which don’t have sex, drugs, and anti-Christian filth!
love her glad shes not racist.
Gorgeous woman. Seen her dad do an interview somewhere, and he looked Castizo (meaning mostly european with native admixture). Don’t quote me on this though. Just going on appearance.
Yea you might want to be quite with it comes to what a person is supposed to look like;you’re real bad at it
Dude really stop replying to me. I don’t agree with your opinion. Big effen deal…
Another thing..
Tell me her ethnicity then… I would really like know. In percentage if possible.. since you’re such an expert and know it all..
still waiting oh mighty wise one… lol
Waiting for what,unlike you,I can admit when I don’t know something.It obvious you don’t know anything about mixed bloods
I do, actually you don’t. You go by your half ass narrow minded opinion. I go by experience.
What experience?you have none.You said you look at people and can tell how much black blood they don’t have(what a joke)
again putting words in my mouth to suit your agenda..
what experience do you have? thats right none.. so shut it!
You said you travel all over mexico looking at people,.All people have to do is go read your comments
yeah it is .. is not my fault you cant comprehend simple english. is not my fault you’re ignorant as a rock. people can easily go and read you’re comments.. full of gibberish, lies.. opinions etc..
Your the one who has to have things repeated,before you halfway understand
there you go exaggerating everything.. please it was only that time i misunderstood. at least i don’t avoid comments and lie to get my point across.
Your the only one making up things,not me.All you have to do is read the comments.Didn’t lie about anything,again you misunderstood what was written.
keep saying that to yourself.. cause I know i’m telling the truth..
The comments prove your not telling the truth
