NEW YORK, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Christina Aguilera appears pregnant and in the nude in V magazine's August issue.
The 33-year-old singer posed naked for the photo spread, and wore a sheer, white maxi dress in pictures with fiancé Matthew Rutler. Aguilera and Rutler are expecting their first child, and revealed in March the baby is a girl.
"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," she said in the interview.
