Christina has been open over the years about not only her relationships, but also her losses through miscarriages. She also opened up to fans about one of her children being stillborn and how that impacted her music at that point in her career. And, because Christina might not be in the spotlight as much as some celebrities or musicians, there are still questions about her private life.

Christina Perri has two kids with her ex-husband, Paul Costabile.

In 2018, Christina welcomed her oldest daughter, Carmella Stanley, with then-husband Paul Costabile. In 2022, the former couple welcomed daughter Pixie Rose. However, in between the births of both of Christina's daughters, she suffered complications from a second pregnancy. In 2021, she shared an Instagram post of a nursery and wrote that another daughter, Rosie, was "born silent" the previous year.

She added that she wrote a "lullaby album" for her stillborn daughter and that she had written one for Carmella when she was an infant. Christina also wrote in the post that, in losing Rosie, she was able to learn how to navigate loss in a significant way, and that she, Paul, and Carmella were forever changed because of what happened.

When Christina posted about Carmella's birthday in an Instagram post in 2022, she wrote that the same date was supposed to be Rosie's due date.

"How can I be equally so happy to watch Carmella grow and so heartbroken to not watch Rosie grow at the exact same time?" She wrote. "Not sure I'll ever get used to walking hand in hand with joy and sorrow. Does anyone?"

Neither Christina nor Paul released statements about the split. However, they appear to want to transition to co-parenting their children as seamlessly as possible. A couple of weeks before the divorce filing, Christina shared an Instagram post with photos from her youngest daughter Pixie's birthday party. In one of the pictures, Christina and Paul are posed with both daughters between them.

In December 2017, Paul wrote on Instagram that he married his "dream girl." He added that they got married four years to the day after they met. The wedding was apparently an intimate ceremony, and Paul expressed his excitement at their life ahead of them, and their daughter on the way.
