The now-42-year-old pop star sat down with podcast host Alex Cooper for Wednesday’s brand-new episode of Name Her Daddy. The interview lined fairly a little bit of the New York native’s early profession. And as we realized throughout the duo’s lengthy chat, Christina really misplaced her virginity approach later than we’d have guessed!!
When Cooper requested Aguilera in regards to the horny persona she’s fastidiously crafted through the years, the Stripped singer couldn’t deny there was one thing a bit humorous about being sexualized in public whereas being a lot slower to develop behind closed doorways.
The mom of two defined:
“It’s so humorous that I gave this persona as a result of I in all probability was the final individual to lose my virginity. It was one thing that was for me. I assume that’s why my messages went the best way they did too as a result of I owned it first, possibly.”
Cooper instantly picked up on that “final individual to lose my virginity” comment and requested for extra. Naturally!
The Staten Island-born star didn’t absolutely give in, sadly. As a substitute of divulging virginity particulars, Aguilera merely mentioned this:
“It was later than you’ll assume, given [I was] the lady that was doing Dirrty and all these things. It’s extra of a humorous factor trying again.”
Later than we expect?! So how late was it?? Like we famous up high, Dirrty got here out in 2002. Aguilera turned 22 years outdated late that yr. Was it later than that?

Aguilera did allude slightly bit to some early sexual experiences, although. Referencing how she had “sure dancers that have been shut” to her throughout early excursions, the songstress mentioned:
“I had sure dancers that have been shut. You’re touring rather a lot and you’ve got accessibility to solely sure issues. It’s what it’s… A variety of issues the place I’m like, ‘Perhaps I ought to have realized, he wasn’t taking a look at me. He wasn’t serious about me. He was taking a look at him.’ A variety of issues the place I’m like, ‘Oh, unhappy!’ I really feel unhealthy for my youthful self.”
There are two issues she didn’t do, although. She didn’t join romantically with many different high-profile males throughout the early peaks of her profession — and he or she didn’t push a phony romance into the general public eye for publicity’s sake. On why she selected the extra genuine route, she defined:
“I didn’t actually have time for that. I at all times went for issues that I’d really feel protected about. If it’s not actual to me and genuine, I can’t do it. I can’t drive one thing as private as that.”
The singer went on so as to add that she prefers “man subsequent door” sorts versus A-listers or different celebrities. It’s good that she is aware of that about herself! Aguilera seems to have lived by that mantra for years, too. She’s been engaged to actor-slash-assistant director Matt Rutler since 2014. The pair retains their relationship largely non-public and really low-key. And for her, that works:
“My life is hectic sufficient, and it is a very narcissistic business. My anxieties couldn’t possibly take anyone that did the very same factor I did. I understand how this goes. I’m too weak for this. I’m too delicate to be so paranoid.”
Is smart!!
Oh, and another factor. Cooper inquired about Aguilera’s on-and-off previous public spats with different celebs. (Y’all know rattling nicely who we’re speaking about right here!)
However with out naming names, Christina deftly turned down the chance to feud. As a substitute, she selected to criticize followers and media members who repeatedly “poke” and “bait” her about them:
“I need peaceable vitality, peaceable vibes. I don’t must be speaking about issues that occurred a long time in the past. Let’s develop up, let’s embrace. I simply don’t have time for the petty bulls**t.”
Properly that sounds wholesome and trustworthy! We like to see a strong girl thriving!! What do U make of her virginity feedback, tho, Perezcious readers?? Shocked?! How late do YOU assume she meant? Submit-college age? Or simply later than all her pals??
