Christina Aguilera strips down on the cover of the January issue of Maire Claire, really showcasing her splendiferous baby bump! Inside the issue, Christina finally opens up about her pregnancy and more. Here are highlights:

Christina on when she got pregnant: “We were planning on starting to try after the tour. And so, I had gone off the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn’t know how much time it would take. You’ve heard it takes some time — except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here… I’m like, Oh, my God, can you believe it just happened?”

Christina on keeping the baby secret from her audiences: “I was paranoid. There are so many things that could go wrong — somebody could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall. There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show. I didn’t want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, ‘Pregnant lady onstage! Is she going to be OK?’”

Christina on not getting upset over Paris’ big VMA revelation: “Because I hadn’t said anything, people thought I was trying to keep it this big, bad secret, and that’s not the case at all. I just wasn’t commenting. I’m not being like, ‘Hey, everybody, I’m pregnant!’ I’m not that girl.”
