On September 8, 2010, paparazzi spotted singer Christina Aguilera and her manager/husband Jordan Bratman tooling around Beverly Hills in his $190,000 Ferrari California convertible.
At the time we assumed the couple’s clenched jaws were in reaction to the paparazzi tailing them.
But now we know the real truth: the bonds of Xtina and Jordan’s marriage were irretrievably broken.
I know this to be fact because marriages don’t fall apart in less than 3 days.
According to TMZ, Aguilera filed divorce papers today citing irreconcilable differences. The couple have a son, Max Liron Bratman, who turned 2 in January. She has asked for joint physical and legal custody of their son.
But the seeds of marital discord were already sown long before these photos were snapped. Aguilera listed the date of her separation from Bratman as September 11, 2010.
As I noted earlier, the above photo was snapped on September 8.
Due to their portable nature, men may give up on marriages quickly. But it takes time for a woman to accept the fact that her marriage is unsalvageable.
Unlike men, a woman has her heart, her fragile emotions, her nosy friends, and any children from the marriage, to consider. Therefore, a decision to divorce her husband is not made in 3 days.
Call it what you want: woman’s intuition or a gut feeling, but a woman knows the moment her man starts cheating.
According to TMZ, sources connected with the couple say the marriage fell apart after Aguilera allegedly cheated on Bratman. But I don’t believe that for one second.
