Christina Aguilera pregnant on the cover of Marie Claire

A very pregnant Christina Aguilera graces the cover of the January issue of Marie Claire. I don’t care for her jacket, but on the inside of the magazine, she looks all the better. She makes a very radiant mother-to-be.

Here’s what she had to say about her pregnancy:

It turns out the pregnancy was a bit of a surprise for her and husband Jordan Bratman:

“We were planning on starting to try after the tour. And so, I had gone off the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn’t know how much time it would take. You’ve heard it takes some time — except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here… I’m like, Oh, my God, can you believe it just happened?” [said Aguilera.]

Aguilera figures she got pregnant when Bratman was visiting her in Georgetown, during the U.S. leg of her ‘Back to Basics’ tour… Only problem was she still had a month left on an eight-month world tour where she changes costumes at least 10 times during the show, hangs from a circus pinwheel, rides a carousel horse, plays a dominatrix, and wears major heels throughout:

“I was paranoid. There are so many things that could go wrong — somebody could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall. There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.” So she wore a well-concealed heart monitor. She didn’t want to broadcast the news. “I didn’t want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, ‘Pregnant lady onstage! Is she going to be OK?’ But I had to announce it to my band and my dancers, because I wanted to make sure they had my back.”

I think she should’ve announced her pregnancy sooner. I think all of her fans would’ve been happy for her a lot sooner. Hope she has a healthy and happy baby.
