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.

HEYYYY!!! hi!
I only want to say that ALMOST ALL people in America
are ETHNICALLY MIZED :)…like someone mentioned above everyone with white skin is considered WHITE despite their ethnic background. Im sure most everyone has a hint of Native American…AND most everyone has traces of some type of
EUROPEAN in their ethnic background. Our ancesters…and
many today…somewhere along the line delved in interacial relationships/marriages, etc. Which brings us to us….
How many of us can hosnestly say that we are full blooded native american, or full blooded mexican? or full blooded whatever?? a few yes! but not many. We live in a VERY DIVERSE WORLD and COUNTRY which is very fascinating..if you enjoy culture! :))
I am German and Mexican..of course with a smudge of Native America (cherokee)…but im basically WHITE or ASIAN to some people (((which im not at all..as far as i’ve traced my roots i am reluctant to have stumbled upon an asian ancestor :/ :) )))
IN CONCLUSION….WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFULLY MADE PEOPLE.
and very diverse. We should move past the ethnocentrism!
smile.
OOPS i meant *MIXED…not mized! :)
AGGGHHH..i hate TYPOS! :)
I think you may find many full blooded Native Americans since they are so isolated in many places.
In the USA? That is hard, but you can find some almost full-blooded Native Americans. You can probably find full blooded natives in some South American countries.
Mexicans are almost always Mestizos and the ”white” ones are ”Castizos” so Mexicans are almost always part Native American. Not a bad thing at all. You’d have more than Cherokee native blood in you, you would have something like Nahuatl or Mayan in you.
Full blooded Mexican? How? Mexican isn’t a race it is a dam nationality
Her dad is a straight up INDIO! She got her moms color but she Isn’t fully European though she looks it.
Bigot.
I’ve seen her biological father, he was in part of a special MTV did on her many years back…he is a dark(er) Latino (Ecuadorian). Just because she isn’t fair or even dark doesn’t mean her father is of this or that blood. Certain traits skip certain generations. Both my parents are mixed – I’m light (like our dad), I can get fair depending on the sun I get, my sister is fair, my brother is dark (like our mom).
To my knowledge ALL Latino’s are mixed with Native, European & African, that’s why you get dark & light Puerto Rican’s, Dominican’s, Mexican’s, Cuban’s, Peruvian’s, etc. Of course others (also) have Asian & even Middle Eastern.
IDK why some people who come on here seem so angry, this is about learning the ethnic background of celebrities, not arguing about BS.
They get angry because they are either racist or have to put up with it on a daily basis. It’s tough not knowing your racial, ethnic background. Especially if you are black or hispanic.
ALL Latinos are not mixed. Brazil and Argentina has tons of immigrants who RECENTLY arrived in the last century or so. It’s ignorant to claim that they are ALL one thing or another.
That’s a massive generalization.
Her race is WHITE!! OMG, learn the difference b/w race and ethnicity!!
Why bother commenting stupid? All you see is skin color. Typical racist.
christina is so beautyfull and she sings sooooooooooooo good in lady marmalade i just love her part in that song i sing it like all the time. but that’s not a suprise to me cause she always sings good.
