Aguilera is passionate about passing down lessons of self-acceptance to her children.
Speaking with PEOPLE in November, she shared her commitment to teaching them about confidence and individuality.
“Defining beauty for me is about feeling comfortable in your own skin, and that’s a message I always try to encourage my kids to instill in themselves,” Aguilera explained.
Aguilera has often spoken candidly about the challenges of balancing her career and family life.
In a 2019 interview with Haute Living, she reflected on her decision to prioritize her children’s stability.

“I made the decision for quite some time not to tour for a while because I thought it was the best thing to make a more stable, routine life for my children,” she explained. “Even when I took the spot on [The Voice], it wasn’t really something I wanted to pursue. I just decided, ‘It keeps me in L.A. and in a place where I can focus on my kids.’”
She added: “Everything I’ve pretty much decided to do has been influenced by [my kids], but at the same time, I need to make sure that I don’t lose myself and that I always stay grounded in what’s important for me.”
