Christina Aguilera is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and television personality. She starred in the film Burlesque. She is also known as Xtina and Baby Jane.

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.

  2. Princess says:

    You can see some Native features, she reminds me of a chola.

  3. Capricious says:

    Looks 100% English to me, or at least a mix of European ancestries like Dutch, German and French.

    Don’t see her father’s side, which supposedly has Mestizo?

  4. gel says:

    She looks Irish, actually.

    Plenty of Irish girls look like that. Often with dark hair.

    There is so much ignorance in the U.S. Hispanic, Latino is not a race, we could be 100% White, just like me, 100% Black, 100% Native indigenous, mestizo (white and indigenous), Mulatto (black and white or indigenous) Some countries in Latinamerica have more whites than others, others have more blacks and other have more mestizos. Example: Argentina and Uruguay are mainly white and by population there are more white people than in the United States. places like Chile and Costa Rica is about 70% of their people are white. Puerto RIco, Cuba about 50% of their people are white, the are a lot of blacks too and a lot of Mulattos black and white and mestizos. Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador etc. have a lot of Meztizos and Indigenous native but Mexico also has it’s share of white people, 20% of their population is white and in a country that big, we are talking about 20 million people are 100% white in Mexico, but we don’t see it because it’s about 2 out of 10 people and we don’t go to Mexico, like it’s big cities to see it. we only see the 1% of it’s population that come to the United States to live, mainly from poor, small (ranchos), farmer workers, etc that are not realy white. and just because of that 1% we judge and generalize the other 99% that have nothing to do with the rest of Mexico and of course of Latinamerica. I’m not saying that all latinos are white, of course but many are and it depends of where you go in Latinamerica, you might go to a place that you feel like you are in Detroit or Atlanta and you are in some village of Dominican Republic or Brazil. you might feel that you are in England and you are in Argentina. it all depends of where you go. I hope this helps.

      Yeah Americans are pretty ignorant when it comes to race. Not only are latinos called Spanish in the US but Americans expect Iberians to all look like Antonio Banderas lmao
