Christina Aguilera’s ICONIC Career Milestones
Christina Aguilera knows what a girl wants.
Specifically, her and fiancé Matt Rutler‘s 10-year-old daughter Summer Rain, who the “Beautiful” singer said prefers to see her with no makeup.
“Summer’s favorite side is ‘no makeup mama,'” Christina shared on the Dec. 9 episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show. “As soon as I’m done shooting, she’s like, ‘OK, can you take that off now? It’s time to be cozy.'”
The 44-year-old continued, “She loves my freckles and I cover them a lot. She’s like, ‘Am I going to have freckles one day?'”
And Summer hopes to take after her mom in more than just her appearance. As Christina noted, “She’s such an artist.”
“She paints, she draws, she makes beautiful masks and pieces,” the Grammy winner continued, adding that Summer has also “taken an interest in acting.”
As for her and ex-husband Jordan Bratman‘s 17-year-old son Max Liron? According to Christina, he’s a little bit more “tough” to impress.
“We have a lot of fun when I’m headlining festivals because there are lots of other acts in the lineup and he gets to venture backstage,” she shared. “I just headlined Portola [with] LCD Soundsystem—he loves LCD Soundsystem—so he was able to go backstage and it was was such a vibe.”
Christina added with a smile, “We get to really connect. I get cool mom points for that.”

But what the Mickey Mouse Club alum enjoys most as a mom is experiencing life through her children’s eyes.
“I never want to push anything on my kids,” she said. “Whatever they’re passionate about, I’m there to support it.”
In fact, Christina noted that she’s often “humbled” by her kids.
“They will call you out for anything and everything,” she quipped. “But you do learn through their eyes and it’s very subjective and humbling. Also, it teaches you patience.”
