Christina Aguilera 'beams with pride' every day

Christina Aguilera 'beams with pride' every day because of her two-year-old son Max.

The 'Burlesque' star ' who recently split with Max's father Jordan Bratman after nearly five years of marriage ' loves being a mother and enjoys the 'little things' they do together as well as regular trips to Disneyland.

She said: 'Being a parent allows you to beam with pride on a daily basis. Even the little things bring us so much joy . like singing as I put Max to bed or going trick-or-treating and seeing Max dress up on Halloween.

'Max and I go to Disneyland often. It really is the happiest place on earth.'

Family is very important to the 29-year-old star, and she enjoys spending time with her mother.

She said: ' go home to Pennsylvania a lot to see my mom and brother. There is no place like home. It means the world to me to have such a supportive family.'

Christina recently revealed her split from Jordan was because she was hunting for 'spontaneity' in her life.

She told America's OK! magazine: 'My life is cyclical. I'm not a nine-to-five woman who has the same kind of lifestyle for years on end. I couldn't do it. I need the spontaneity, that thrill of change. That's part of how I get inspired.'
