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.

    Weird, I have the same heritage AND the same middle name as Christina… Well, not exactly the same heritage of course but my father is Ecuadorian-American and my mother is of European descent (German, Irish, Dutch, English), so they’re pretty close…

      if people did their research they would know the basis on how human genetics work. there are thousands of biracial people with black ancestry that come out with blonde hair and blue eyes. what do you think the whole cast system in New Orleans during and after slavery is based on. my aunt happens to be married to a white man and she has had two children by him. her daughter and my cousin has blonde hair and hazel eyes. my aunt is a dark skinned black woman and her daughter has just skin just as pale as any non-mixed white person. so for you to generalize and say that because a biracial person is mixed with black they all come out with brown skin is stupid. and mariah carey isn’t even that light skinned. i have seen way lighter non-mixed black people. and why do ignorant black people always have to mixed with something. filipina, spanish, cuban, native american, irish. OKAY SUUUURRRREE.

        First of all I get what your saying I understand I was saying that Mariah is only saying she’s half black and half white she not saying that she should say she venezuelan too ok and I’m not even black my dad is Afro-Cuban, Spanish and Bangdalesh. My mom is Cuban, Spanish, Portuguese and Taino Native American. I’m probably like 10 percent black so learn how to read.
