She has also been credited as Christine Flores-Nash, the latter name from her former husband; Christina Flores, Christine Flores, and Christine Milian.
She was born in New Jersey, to Cuban immigrants, Carmen and Don Flores, who are of African-Cuban descent, with Spanish ancestry. A picture of her father can be seen here. She uses her mother’s surname. Christina was raised mostly in Waldorf, Maryland.

Cubans are mixed. Cool, but the tainos indigenous of Caribe are really dead? Cuba like Brasil, mestizo.
Looks typical mullato from Cuba
Aren’t Afro Latinos non mixed black people that are Latino? I know Christina classifies herself as Afro Latina but she’s very obviously mixed race. I don’t think anybody would look at her and think she’s an unambiguous black woman. It’s obvious she’s tri-racial.
Afro-Latina just means a Latino of African descent. It never meant you had to be 100% African especially since the vast majority of Afro Latinos have some admixture. Same thing with African-Americans, you don’t have to be fully African to be or identify as African-American.
At least 75-80% African descent to be Afro Latino. just having a darker complexion does not make a person Afro Latino.
She is tri racial not Afro Latino. Afro Latinos look predominately West African. Coarse hair, wide nose and darker skin just like most African Americans.
Many people in Hollywood are using the Afro label without knowing what it represents.
I don’t think she’s triracial. At least Mulatta. Native ancestry is not significant in Latin Caribbean countries. Especially Cuba, mainly European and African. Most Cubans are either White, Mulatto, or Black. Cuba actually recieved alot of Galician, Andalusian, Asturian, and Canarian immigrants. It was also the second to last country to abolish slavery after Brazil.
correction; the “some” before spanish should be removed. She is cuban, of african and spanish descent
Christina’s paternal grandfather was Cuban boxer Jose Ramon Flores.

He kinda looked Spanish.
Yep, that’s him. His picture was already linked, but her father deleted most of the pics from his instagram (including those of his parents).
