Christina Aguilera was rumored to have a new fling after her marriage to Jordan Bratman fell apart in 2010. The two were married for five years and welcomed their son Max in 2008, but ultimately parted ways due to toxicity. “Things were so unhealthy and unhappy for both Jordan and me, I knew I had to end it,” the “Burlesque” actor told People. “I really didn’t want to hurt Jordan, and I felt torn about splitting our family up.”
After Aguilera was back on the market, the rumor mill went wild as to who the Grammy award-winning artist would move on to next. Radar Online reported that the star found comfort in DJ Samantha Ronson, who was Lindsay Lohan’s on-again-off-again girlfriend and had officially split with the actor the year prior. Photographers reportedly spotted Ronson leaving Aguilera’s home in the fall of 2010 after spending seven hours with the star. “Samantha was also in Mexico with Christina for [Nicole Richie’s] bachelorette party,” an insider told the outlet.
Despite the speculation, Ronson shot down any romance rumors when she was tracked down by TMZ. When asked whether she and the “Beautiful” singer were an item, she simply shot back, “No.” Aguilera went on to meet her fiancé, Matthew Rutler, on the set of “Burlesque,” where he worked as a production assistant. They have been engaged since 2014, and Aguilera gave birth to their daughter, Summer, the same year.
