Does Christina Aguilera really blame her husband for her failed album? Did the singer really have an open marriage? Those are questions you will not find answers for in Aguilera’s recent interview with Redbook.

“Out of respect for my husband, I prefer to keep the specifics private. Right now, I’m just trying to figure out how to make it through each day,” Aguilera states in the magazine’s December issue.

Although Christina was tight-lipped about the reasons behind the separation, she does address the end of her nearly five-year marriage.

“It’s not easy, and there have been a lot of tears and sadness,” she said just one day after the separation was announced. “It’s impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight. Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on. On days when it feels impossible to even get out of bed, much less function as a mother, their support and encouragement have kept me moving forward.”

We should be expecting to hear more from Aguilera in the coming weeks. Her new movie, Burlesque, opens this Thanksgiving.
