Christina Aguilera carefully vetted music executive Jordan Bratman before agreeing to marry him, to ensure she wasn’t making the same mistake as her mother and tying herself down to a violent bully.

Aguilera grew up witnessing her now-estranged father Fausto emotionally and physically abusing her mother Shelly - and she was determined not to subject her children to the same heartache.

She tells Us Weekly magazine, “We had many conversations before, and I really ensured that I put myself in the position to marry someone who was not going to repeat the cycle of abuse with my child and what I had endured as a child. I knew that my husband is not the type to have violent tendencies, and he would never hurt me.

Aguilera married Bratman in 2005 and gave birth to their son Max Liron in January.
