Christina Aguilera Talks About the Pressures of Motherhood

Christina Aguilera looks super fierce on the cover of Women’s Health‘s March 2016 issue.

Here is what the 35-year-old singer and The Voice coach had to share with the mag:

On being a mother: “Mothers are constantly expected to be the nurturers, the givers, the providers of a comfortable home. We’re expected to be pregnant, have the kids, breast-feed once we have the babies. And we’re expected to look amazing after baby, right? Keep our husbands and boyfriends interested�”because we’re supposed to get back to sexy and keep things exciting in the bedroom. There’s such a long list. Having children is the ultimate joy, and I love my kids, but women have to find time to nurture themselves. If someone has a baby, the first thing I’m like is, ‘Okay, are you taking care of you?’”

On her new upcoming album: “I’ve been loosely working on my album for the last couple of years, but I don’t like anything feeling too contrived or forced. So I now have given the time over the past few months to dive into my project on a very serious level and I’m super, super excited about the artists that are on-board, the producers, people that I haven’t experimented with yet before – Its going to be a lot of exciting stuff to come.”

On her respect for Adele: “She has a way of singing with such truth. I love how genuine she comes across in her songwriting.”
