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.

latino/latina isnt a race people
get over it.
I think with even she has blue eyes and blond hair, she does not seems 100% white, her skin is a little dark
Thats a really stupid. Probably because you live in America and have a very narrow view on “What is white” you realize that caucasians come in all colors correct? Italians look nothing like Scandinavians, Scandinavians look nothing like the British. The British look nothing like Serbians.
In the Southern European nations people are sometimes on average FAR darker than any shade Christina has been in her entire life and they are still completely white. Christ, pick up a book sometime.
Furthermore Christina is on average very pale. The problem is Christina wears POUNDS of make up everywhere she goes. She appears darker than what she actualy is.
So because someones skin isn’t pale they can’t be white? Bs whites can be pale to dark Mediterranean.
yeah that’s why she can sing because she is Latino..im not trying to be racist but white people can’t sing like without them having some blk or Latino influence on them. I’ve only seen blk and Latino some asians who can really sing and not hold a nice tone like some famous white people
You are so stupid.
off the top of my head.
Chris Cornell. One of the best vocalist of all time Ronnie James Dio (Italian descent). There are literaly hundreds of them in Rock. Vocal ability has nothing to do with race and yes you are trying to sound racist. Your comment is not only racist its pretty ignorant. Opera is a genre mostly dominated by Europeans. Other than Rock & Metal, Opera is one of the most vocaling challenging genres out there and its dominated by mostly caucasians. So go ahead and spout your ignorant crap until you make yourself believe it.
White people can’t sing? bwahahaha not only are the majority of some of the best singers in the world caucasian. Are you not aware that the man that is in the guiness record book for singing to the 6th octave IS WHITE (Spaniard).

Latino isn’t a race. You can be 100% white and still be Latino
I personally think that she has the attitude of a Latina.
Why does people give negative votes to the ones that say that Christina is hispanic? Get over it, she does have latin heritange, like it or not,
“Why does people give negative votes to the ones that say that Christina is hispanic?”. “she does have latin heritage”
Do you know what Latin means? Latin refers to a language group. Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, and Romania are ‘Latin’ countries.
People keep thinking ALL Latino (Latin American) are actually Latin (from Europe.). Some are, but most are mixed and some are even purely indigenous.
No one said she does not have Latin heritage. However, it is not a race . . . . no matter how much you and your horde of ignorant and obviously uneducated thespians want it to be. Christina Milian, who is mulatto, is not the same race as Alexis Bledel, Gisele Bundchen, or George Lopez.
And yes, there is a German community in the South of Brazil where they even teach German to the students while they are in school. It is like a different culture among the umbrella, much like Cajuns in America, or the French Canadians in Canada.
all i can say that she’s totally white, there some latino persons have light hair and skin, look her mother has brown eyes and brown dark hair, but Christina is blonde and has blue eyes. no matter what her racial, her roots, she’s just human just like us, and she’s naturaly beautiful without those make up! I wish she reduces her weight :(
exactly!!!! :D
