[Parents] Christina Aguilera Is All For Her Kids Gaming Through the Pandemic: 'It Gives Them That Interaction They Need'
By Anna Halkidis December 11, 2020
A lifelong Nintendo fan, Christina Aguilera has passed her love for video games onto her two kids. And it's been a positive tool for the entire family during the pandemic.
Between a legendary singing career and raising two kids, Christina Aguilera has always been a busy mom. Now, like many parents during the pandemic, her duties have only grown with helping her kids—Max, 12, and Summer Rain, 6—navigate remote learning and finding ways to keep them active and occupied.
How she’s finding time to unwind? Gaming. It’s a lifelong passion—she says she owned all the Nintendo systems growing up, including the original, and now enjoys playing Nintendo Switch. “For me, it’s a de-stressor for sure whenever I get even a moment with myself away from the kids,” says Aguilera, who even brings the gaming systems with her when she’s on tour.
It’s a hobby she’s passed on to her little ones too (who can forget her daughter’s Mario-themed second birthday party?). “I have an arcade in my house—we have the old-school Donkey Kong arcade, we have the Super Mario Kart setup,” says Aguilera, who teamed up with Nintendo this holiday season. “We are pretty obsessed with it.”
It’s also one of the big ways she says they've bonded while staying home during the pandemic—and even broken a sweat while playing boxing video games. “It’s good family time,” says Aguilera.
At the same time, she says it’s also giving her kids the opportunity to connect socially as they hop on and game with their friends. “In this time where they can’t literally be together and they are too young to go on forever talking on the phone, gaming is that sense that brings them together and has a common talking point,” she says. "It's a great tool and even helps kids become more social and gives them that interaction they need." Experts back that up too while research shows video games are "a major venue for the creation and maintenance of friendships."
But the singer says she does worry about screen time, which has soared for many kids du pandemicring the. “It’s all a checks and balance and there are parental controls that you can operate as a parent and make sure that you’re the boss of how much screen time they have and don’t have,” says Aguilera. “Everybody does what works for their own individual family and we find our balance with it.”
That balance comes with finding other ways to spend quality family time together, whether it’s crafting, decorating for the holidays, or going for walks with their two dogs, who are also feeling the effects of staying home. “One of our dogs has definitely put on some quarantine pounds so we are trying to get her as much exercise as we can too,” jokes Aguilera.
But her main goal as a mom is trying to keep things as fun and uplifting as possible.
“I love parenting based off of fun, interaction, making it playful, keeping it positive, and keeping the laughter going,” she says. “That’s how you got to survive through it all.”

[Harpers Bazaar] Christina Aguilera Isn't Afraid of Reinvention
BY BIANCA BETANCOURT / NOV 9 2021, 12:00 PM EST
The Grammy-winning pop star talks new music, family, and her partnership with Nintendo.
Christina Aguilera is always up for a challenge.
The Grammy-winning singer is no stranger to the art of reinvention, having reintroduced herself multiple times throughout her two-decade music career. Who can forget when she first appeared on the scene with "Genie in a Bottle" sporting a cropped denim jacket and matching capris, or those conversation-starting leather chaps during her Stripped era, or even the Old Hollywood–inspired glamour of Back to Basics? Now, in 2021, Aguilera's new music is all about embracing her Latina roots—her latest single, "Pa Mis Muchachas" is modern, Cuban-inspired guaracha that enlists the help of Nicki Nicole, Becky G, and Nathy Peluso to create an empowering Spanish-language track.
"I was a teenager when I released my first Spanish album. That was 20-plus years ago, and I'd been wanting to make a follow-up record literally ever since, but I really wanted to make sure it was done at the right time with the right people," Aguilera tells BAZAAR.com. "I take it very seriously. It's a part of my childhood growing up, hearing the language. My mom spoke Spanish fluently; my dad's from Quito, Ecuador. It was something that was very much a part of my childhood—the music playing around the house. So I wanted to dive in headfirst and truly engross myself in the whole experience and being around different writers from all over the world. There's truly nothing like Latin love and Latin music—the way it makes you feel so alive and the passion involved."
Creating Spanish-language music again was not just a way for Aguilera to honor her own childhood, but also to educate her children on their heritage. "Spanish may not be my first language, but it's in my soul and part of my heart and my roots and my background. Now, as a mother, I see it through such different eyes," the singer shares. "Even my kids just seeing me in the studio, challenging myself and making sure that the details are so right and that it's authentic to me and respecting the music … it's important for me to show them that Mommy doesn't back down from a challenge. Not everything's going to come easy, but I'm passionate about it, and this is a part of who we are."
New music isn't the only project Aguilera is sharing with her family; she's also starring in a new Nintendo campaign with her kids. "I'm very particular what I do with my kids as far as involving them with different work aspects of my life," she says. "But this is clearly not work. This is fun for the whole family, and the Nintendo family has been amazing. When we did our campaign, everyone from the director to the crew just made it very comfortable for my kids, and it all spoke authentically to what we do together and how we enjoy our time."
Playing video games together lets her bond with her children, whether at home or on the road. "The Nintendo Switch in particular is truly great, because I have to do a lot of traveling, and it's something that you can just pick right up and take on the road with you. If my kids can't make it with me on tours, we can always gameplay together and connect and create these worlds together."
Aguilera continues, "[Gaming] really just eases my mind. It's a great way to escape and also challenge myself, and it's always been a tool that I use to decompress. I carry so much on my plate. I wear many different hats as a mom, as an entertainer, as a performer, and it can be overwhelming sometimes. It's been very therapeutic to give myself that mental break."
As 2022 looms, the pop star promises that more music is on the way. "The [new] music will be released over the course of pretty much three different chapters, kind of like small albums well into 2022," the singer says. "It tells a story. It dives into elements of my childhood and is making certain peace with my past. And there's more collaborations to come! It's been a labor of love. I can cry talking about it and knowing that it's finally going to be released to the world."
For Aguilera, this new era of music means embracing experimentation—and full creative control—over the musical narrative she wants to share. "There's so much to be grateful for. Of course, you want [past projects] to be successful, but it truly wasn't my main priority [this time around]," Aguilera says. "It was more interesting for me to continue to evolve and challenge myself, and grow and experiment with different sounds and textures. I've never wanted to make the same album over again. And no matter what people thought about it, it was so important to me that at the end of the day, I created a body of work that you can look back on and appreciate for the experimental value of it."
Beyond sharing her thoughts on her future music with us, Aguilera also reflects on the past. "Fame brings out a lot of ugliness in people around you. You learn that the hard way at a very young age," she shares. "I'm living in a more fearless time of my life where I truly am embracing everything that's authentic to me, but with a new perspective. As you get older, you care less what other people think, because you're more grounded in who you are."
"I turned 40 last year, and I was so overwhelmed by the love that I had around me. It's really apparent who are the people that are going to be your backbone through anything. So I'm proud of that more than anything—to have such a beautiful family, friends, and family that are such a support to me."

[InStyle] Christina Aguilera Loves '00s Nostalgia and an Underboob Moment
By Christopher Luu / Nov 09, 2021 @ 12:00 pm
Her latest collaboration is right in line with the return of low-rise jeans, and she hopes it'll help her "show every side" of herself.
She sings. She acts. She ... games? Under all the gloss and over-the-top glamour, Christina Aguilera says that she still goes back to something she's done since she was a kid that may surprise longtime Xtina die-hards: fire up her Nintendo to kick back and connect with her family. As one of the gaming giant's newly minted spokespeople, Aguilera tells InStyle that the partnership shouldn't raise any eyebrows to anyone who knows her. Nintendo and its iconic cast of characters have been with her since before she was a genie in a bottle or a corset-clad member of the "Lady Marmalade" quartet.
Like many people, Aguilera started with the OG Nintendo NES system in the '90s, saying that the original console was as much a part of her childhood as her time on The Mickey Mouse Club.
"I remember truly just falling in love with the fact that you could compete with yourself, compete with others. It was something that me and my stepbrother and stepsister loved to do," Aguilera says. "We would anticipate them coming over so we could all gather around and take turns, even though I was definitely the biggest hog of it all. I was the oldest. I love having that be a part of my life and a part of my childhood and a part of our residual jokes inside the family."
Now, Nintendo has an almost infinite number of options for gamers of all kinds, but Aguilera says she's still obsessed with playing the games she loved as a kid — and shares them with her own children — like Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart. What has changed, however, is how Nintendo has changed its most memorable titles to adapt with the times without losing their spirit. It's something that Aguilera connects with not only as an artist shifting from Stripped to Bionic and beyond, but as a woman.
"Well, they've come a long way, I have to say. They've evolved over the years. Now, you get your choice of a bunch of female characters. I know as they were progressing, you got to actually play as Peach," Aguilera says. "As it evolved now with Mario Kart and now you have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, you get such a gamut of different options and players, but Pink Gold Peach is amazing. She has a really cool look, so that's one of my favorites."
Her go-to character may surprise anyone familiar with her brand of femininity: She prefers to play as villain Wario, while her sister, who also features in the new Nintendo campaign, plays as Waluigi — though nostalgia comes into play there, too.
"When me and my sister get together for Mario Party or Mario Kart, we definitely make sure that we keep it really silly," she says. "We have so much fun with that because their character voices are so hilarious."
Using her game time now to connect with her kids is something she's proud of, adding that she can and her two kids (son Max and daughter Summer) play together, even if they can't physically be together.
"The Nintendo Switch OLED has been a great resource and tool whenever we can't always spend time together to be able to play each other and game," she says. "It's something that you can take with you, either on a TV set or you can take it to travel and so we can check in with each other, we can have conversations as we play."
And while images of Mario Kart's banana peels and killer Chain Chomps may bring back memories, Aguilera's signature "Dirrty" chaps and crisscross top or her pin-up days circa "Candyman" can bring on a whole different wave of feels. She knows fans — including Kylie Jenner and Dua Lipa — can't get enough of those iconic looks and she's proud of every single one. In true Xtina fashion, there's not a single regret.
"I know low rise is coming back and the under-the-boob moments are coming back strong. It is really nice to look back and to recognize a lot of these moments. I know many female artists go through this, but sometimes we get heat for doing certain things, or not everyone gets it," she says. "But when you do things that truly stand the test of time and become these iconic moments — I mean, I love looking at that and seeing that I spread some joy in people's lives in that way and being fashion-forward and experimental. I was never afraid to be myself and to express myself the way I really felt as an artist, and so it's awesome to see a new generation enjoy the fashion."
For anyone looking to find the Xtina to their Christina — or the Metal Peach to their Princess Peach — Aguilera says all it takes is the willingness to embrace individuality and keep things honest.
"I can only do what truly feels authentic to me. I was never good at faking anything and looking at others who kind of played the game, per se, to try and win people over. It's very transparent to me when something doesn't feel authentic," she says. "And I think now more than ever in my life, it's important to truly show every side of myself, as a woman, the woman that I've become, the mom that I am with my children, and things that we like to do."
