In August, the mom of two got emotional during a candid conversation with Glamourabout her experience with motherhood. She admitted that watching her little ones grow up can “trigger” her own childhood traumas.
“Your kids trigger things in you that you don’t want them to go through,” she told the outlet. “And it’s almost like you’re reliving this whole thing again.”

She continued to explain the dichotomy between wanting to protect her kids from experiencing the same traumas she did and letting them learn their own lessons. “I love my son and my daughter so much, and you do want to shield and protect them from the world,” she said, tearing up. “But they have to learn their own lessons.”
“I’ve seen so much so young,” Aguilera added, “You just want the best for your kids.”
The proud mom of two called the process of letting go both “layered” and “interesting,” sharing, “They’re going to make their own choices and mistakes that define how they want to be. It’s such a layered, interesting thing to be a parent and watch these people, these humans, grow up.”
