Singer and television personality Christina Aguilera is back on diaper duty again: the diva and her fiancé Matt Rutler welcomed their first child together over the weekend. Her name is Summer Rain.

“So proud to welcome our beautiful daughter Summer Rain Rutler into the world,” Christina writes in a brief and very sweet message on her Twitter feed.

For the time being, these are all the details we know about the new addition to the Aguilera – Rutler family, which also includes Christina’s 6-year-old son Max from her marriage to Jordan Bratman, whose custody she has.

Considering that, in March, the singer was saying she’d had a “very easy and enjoyable pregnancy,” we assume that the birth was uneventful and that both mother and child are doing well. If Christina goes down the well-trodden celebrity path, she should be posting photos of Summer Rain on social media in a matter of hours.

Christina and Matt met on the set of “Burlesque,” just as her marriage to the music executive had imploded. He was an assistant and she was the big star (well, one of the big stars, to be more accurate), which is why most people assumed that the romance would not last because he was obviously just a rebound guy.

As the months passed, rumor began making the rounds that Matt was a negative influence on Christina and that he was leading her to financial and personal ruin because he was only dating her for the money and the exposure she could provide him with.

There was a lot of talk about how much she’d drink, to the point where even actor Jeremy Renner is said to have confided in a friend about how she crashed his party and fell asleep in his bedroom, in his bed, where he found her hours later.

Neither Christina nor Matt ever dignified to address the rumors, perhaps choosing to prove haters wrong by staying together and making the relationship work. They did a wonderful job at it: in February, on Valentine’s Day, Matt popped the question with a gorgeous custom-made ring that he helped design.

She said yes, obviously. A wedding date is still to be announced.

Weeks later, the happy couple announced the pregnancy, with Christina later revealing that they were having a baby girl and she was very thrilled at the idea of a daughter.

In the final month of her pregnancy, the singer did a very revealing spread for V Magazine, just like she did many years back, when she was carrying Max. Matt too appeared in one of the photos.

“As a woman, I’m proud to embrace my body through all stages of life, staying fearless and confident in surrendering to the unknowns the future has in store,” Christina said.
