Divorce is in the air! Hot on the heels of the Courteney Cox/David Arquette split (and the Laura Dern/Ben Harper split, while we’re at it) comes the news that after a son and five years of marriage, pint-sized powerhouse Christina Aguilera has filed for divorce from her husband, producer Jordan Bratman.
Aw shucks, now we feel bad for putting them in our “Hot Girl, Fug Dude” Gallery!
Christina, 29, and Jordan, 33, began dating in 2002, before announcing their engagement in February 2005. They tied the knot in a wedding ceremony in the Napa Valley that November. It was the first marriage for both.
The date of separation is listed as Sept. 11, 2010, although celebrity snoops maintain that Jordan and Christina have been leading separate lives for several months. According to the rumor mill, Aguilera may have had an extramarital affair, but that has yet to be confirmed and Aguilera’s people have not commented.
“They were very much in love, but over the last six months, it became clear they were more like friends than husband and wife,” tipster tell Us Weekly.
The “Fighter” hitmaker cites the ever-popular “irreconciliable differences” as the reason for the split. Since there is a prenup in place, Christina wants to stop Jordan’s ability to get spousal support. According to the divorce petition, filed in Los Angeles Thursday, Christina asks that “Earnings and accumulations of [Aguilera] before marriage, during marriage and from and after the date of separation” be considered separate property.
The two will share custody of their 2-year-old son, Max.
On Tuesday, a rep for the multiplatinum-selling Grammy winner confirmed the couple had split, with the singer issuing a statement.
“Although Jordan and I are separated, our commitment to our son Max remains as strong as ever,” Christina said at the time.
