Divorce is never easy, and it seems celeb separations are no exception with Christina Aguilera saying that she is struggling to stay upbeat after announcing her separation with husband Jordan Bratman.

Speaking candidly with Redbook, the singer said she relies heavily on the support of close friends and family to get her through the day, popeater.com reports.

"It's not easy, and there have been a lot of tears and sadness," she said.

"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."

The sassy songstress, who filed for divorce on October 12 due to irreconcilable differences, didn’t spill any details about the split, and declined to comment on rumours of infidelity.

"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," she said.

"Thankfully, I have Max to keep me on a sane path," the singer-tuned-movie-star added. "His needs and happiness are my top priorities, and my biggest concern is to protect him and make him feel safe."

In other CA news, the hit-maker has cleared up rumours that photos of her with a split lip that appeared on TMZ the same day as she announced her divorce weren’t due to domestic violence, as some reports insinuated, but from "a simple fall."

A source close to the starlet told TMZ, "It's as innocent as that." Check out the soul singer in happier days in the video below.
