Christina Aguilera - Christina Aguilera Is Proud Of Cleavage

Christina Aguilera has said she prefers her curvy figure and loves showing off her cleavage.

Christina Aguilera loves showing off her cleavage and prefers to have a fuller figure.

The pop star - who shot to fame after starring on the 'The Mickey Mouse Club' in 1993 - has had a more curvaceous body in recent years since the birth of her son Max in January 2008 but she insists she enjoys having a more bountiful body to work with.

Speaking to Lucky magazine's October issue about her new fuller figure, she said: ''Actually, the challenge I've always had is being too thin, so I love that now I have a booty, and obviously I love showing my cleavage.''

Christina - who had Max with her ex-husband Jordan Bratman - also urged other curvaceous women to be proud of their bodies.

The 31-year-old singer - who is dating production assistant Matt Rutler - added: ''Hey, if you can work it and you can own it, that confidence is going to shine through.''

As well as her singing and acting talents, Christina is also a judge on the US version of pop star search show 'The Voice' but she is returning to her musical roots by releasing a new album later this year.

She told fans: ''If you love 'Fighter', you're going to love my new album. As a woman in my 30s, I've been uncovering my independence, and it's been really fun to explore in the new songs.''
