Divorce is common, especially in Hollywood. So it was no real surprise when Christina Aguilera announced she was divorcing her husband of five years. Her husband, music executive Jordan Bratman, will likely take the divorce like a man, sans the pain in his wallet experienced by the "typical man."
PEOPLE, published the reasons why Christina sought the divorce. In essence, it is the same old she believes it will benefit her family in the end. "Things were so unhealthy and unhappy for both Jordan and me, I knew I had to end it." said Aguilera. And what about their two-year-old son, Max? "When you're unhappy in your marriage, your children are the ones who suffer," she says. "That's the last thing I wanted for my son." Come on Christina, can't you come up with a more original line? This is text book 101 reason to explain why you are divorcing.
Why not share the real reason for the split or come right out and deny the speculation that you are involved with Matthew Rutler? Divorce is bitter sweet and some times vicious. While dissolution of marriage stimulates the legal economy, for once it would be refreshing for someone to come out publicly as to the real reason that they are seeking a dissolution.
