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.

She has Dutch ancestry as well.
Someone said she looks middle eastern LOL wow. I always thought she was white like britney spears but has a Spanish surname.
Spanish is white.
No shit…
so someone with brown eyes can’t be a next door white girl? Britney Spears is just 1/16 Maltese/Italian and she has no Spanish roots though. Oh, I forgot to say you’re an idiot.
Both of her parents look European. She is white.
You don’t see anything latina in her ? Lol Latino IS NOT a race, it’s a culture. A lot of latinos are white like William Levy, Perez Hilton, Gloria Estefan, Gisele Bundchen ! You’re so ignorant , plus, Christina is not 100% latina but half latina. Aguilera is a 100% spanish name.
Well, actually Latin is a race but that race is white/European.
Hummm no, Latino is not a race, we call Latinos people from Latin Ameica, people from Europe are Europeans.
That is a misconception of Usa.Latín American is latino because Europe.If Latín Europe doesn’ t exist,Latín América could no either.
Neiltenant Latín América has received a lot of imigration,if they are not Latín Americans,then Americans of European descent are not Americans then? Also,the sterotype of Usa is based on great part of imigrants in Usa are from México and are very indegenous descent.Then if you consider indigenous roots latín(when indigenous people are not latin)why not German-Brazilians?But I am sure that Americans have seeen latinos like Christina Águilera and they had not think that are latino only because sterotypes.
neiltenat I see what your saying… but how is it that my great grandpa had blonde hair and blue eyes and he was 100% Ecuadorian. So therefore you CAN be a “classic” Latino and still have blonde hair and blue eyes. So plz next time think before you type
So basically, you didn’t understand a word I said. Latino is not a race, there is no typical latino look. Zoe Saldaña is as much latina as Perez, Laz Alonso is as much latino as Lionel Messi.
You obviously don’t know anything about Latin America. So please, stfu and have a seat.
Preach!
Neiltenant you are so wrong.First latino is only a cultural word that means that tour first language is derivated from Latin.First latino were Romana..Latín American are latino for their European Robots.Indigenous were not latino.The way that Americans saw latinos is a misconception and a wrong sterotype of the word. Second,latino is not the same than hispanic.Only Spanish-speaking people is hispanic.But people that speak portuguese,French and Rumanian are latín too.
Third,hispanic is only because the Spanish robots and culture.Indigenous are not part of the hispanic.
Finally if people don’t think in a latina with blue eyes and blonde is because sterotypes.Really do you pretend that all people whose first language is a Rommance language would look the same? it is like pretending that all people in Anglophones(english-speaking) countries are and look the same.That all Americans look the same only because English is the oficial language in Usa and also have to look like jamaicans,English,Barbadians,Canadians,etc.
Brazil has 98 million Whites (More Whites than Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa all together);
Argentina around 40 million of its 43 million population;
Uruguay has 3 million or over 90% of its population;
Mexico 23 million;
Colombia 18;
Venezuela 13;
Chile has around 9 million of its 18 million people;
Cuba 7 million;
Peru 4.5;
Costa Rica 3.5
etc.
For christ sake, those “estimations” ARE accurate, whether you like it or not. Have you EVER been in Uruguay, South Brazil or Argentina. Most people there are, in fact, white of european descent. Try to be less ignorant. Please.
