Christina Aguilera makes a cover appearance for the February 2012 issue of Marie Claire despite her preparing for another season of “The Voice.”

The issue is scheduled to hit the stands on Tuesday, January 17, and consists of the 32-year-old speaking about her body, as well as being a single mother.

When asked about her body, Christina stated:
“I’ve been through my highs, I’ve been through my lows; I’ve been through the gamut of all things in this business. Being too thin. Being bigger. I’ve been criticized for being on both sides of the scale. It’s noise I block out automatically. I love my body. My boyfriend loooves my body. My son is healthy and happy, so that’s all that matters to me.”

When the topic was moved onto motherhood, Christina responded with:
“It’s hard not having the consistency of a partnership on a daily basis. It’s a struggle. But I can’t single out my ex-husband [as the problem] because he’s a devoted father and great with my son. We always make sure that we put Max first. I have help from family and good people around me in support of my career. I couldn’t do what I do without a strong team behind me.”
