xtinaredbook.jpg Redbook has snagged the first interview with Christina Aguilera since it was announced that she's getting a divorce, and the pop superstar reveals that dealing with a failed marriage in front of millions of people has been very difficult for her.

Aguilera tells the mag, "It's not easy, and there have been a lot of tears and sadness. It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight. Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on. On days when it feels impossible to even get out of bed, much less function as a mother, their support and encouragement have kept me moving forward."

When asked whether cheating played a role in the demise of her marriage to Jordan Bratman, she replied, “Out of respect for my husband, I prefer to keep the specifics private. Right now, I’m just trying to figure out how to make it through each day."

"Thankfully, I have Max to keep me on a sane path," she continued. "His needs and happiness are my top priorities, and my biggest concern is to protect him and make him feel safe." Aww, cheer up Xtina! I'm sure Samantha Ronson would be happy to comfort you...
