People Magazine has a new interview with Christina Aguilera. She talks about her boyfriend, a Burlesque set assistant named Matt Rutler who she seems to have taken up with in a hot minute following her divorce (and amid those rumors that she was hooking up with Lindsay’s ex, Sam Ronson). When asked if she’s in love, Christina gives more than a non-committal answer, and makes it sound like things are moving quickly. She said “There’s a love there, yes” but then added “I’m having fun, I’m dating and it’s something I haven’t had in a really long time.” So it’s not like she said “Yes I love him so much,” but she did make it sound serious. So my question is – is this guy the reason why Aguilera broke up with her husband or was she cheating with women as we heard eariler? She was married when she was filming Burlesque, and that’s where she met this guy. Here’s what she told People [via Radar]

It’s been just six weeks since Christina Aguilera announced her divorce, but the singer is wasting no time being single, already announcing she’s in love.

In a candid interview with People magazine, Aguilera has opened up about her split from husband Jordan Bratman and surprisingly revealed she’s fallen for another man.

The blonde star is talking about Matthew Rutler, a set assistant on her new movie, Burlesque, who she has been photographed with numerous times since her break up.

When asked if she is in love, Aguilera said: “There’s a love there, yes. I’m having fun, I’m dating and it’s something I haven’t had in a really long time.”

Rutler’s mother, Kathleen, spoke exclusively to RadarOnline.com and denied they were anything but friends.

But Aguilera has now revealed they began dating right after she filed for divorce.

“Matthew is a special person. We had a really strong friendship on the movie,” she said. “He’s the kind of person you could spend hours on the phone talking to and all of a sudden it’s daylight.

“Once I filed for divorce, we started dating. I’m not trying to jump into anything. I just left a five-year marriage. I’m taking it slow and trying to be happy.”

And she isn’t ruling out tying the knot again.

“Wholeheartedly. I know one day I’ll be able to feel that again for someone. That idea will never die.”

It sounds like she admitted she had a least an emotional affair, doesn’t it? She said “We had a really strong friendship on the movie.” We’ve heard that before.

Christina spent Thanksgiving with Rutler’s family and without her son, Max, 2, who was with his dad and Christina’s estranged husband, Jordan Bratman. US Weekly reports in the print edition that she was seen in West Hollywood on November 24 making out with Rutler at club The Abbey, after which she headed to New York to have Thanksgiving with Rutler’s family. On Sunday, Christina was spotted at a gig for Rutler’s band. These two have been dating way more than just the six weeks since Aguilera filed for divorce.

    Nothing is as strong as her whore make-up.

  2. TQB says:

    I know I am a broken record on the subject, but she is so totally pregnant. MSN has a picture of her holding a sweater in front of her in the most ridiculous and obvious way. And, if so, she is way more than 6 weeks along, so…

  3. nan says:

    “Once I filed for divorce, we started dating. Iā€™m not trying to jump into anything.”

    LOL. she most definitely cheated with this guy, and now she’s gushing about him to the press 1 month after filing for divorce? what a tacky bitch.

  4. brin says:

    It’s not like she has this virginal rep to protect.

  5. Megan says:

    we don’t know what was going on behind the scenes… they’re marriage could have been over for way longer than 6 wks so idk… i think everyone deserves to be happy

  6. sapphire says:

    I buy there’s something more than “dating”-the guy is the same physical type as her ex.

  7. mslewis says:

    Why has she been looking so tacky lately? I mean, the hair is a mess and the makeup is worse than usual. She’s not the least bit pretty. I mean, she was never a real beauty but she looks way worse than usual.

  8. jen says:

    Please enough with the MJ for HGF campaign!

    I’m sure there are message boards at NAMBLA that you can go to.

  9. clorismetchum says:

    what a ho-bag. god, she looks like you could catch an std just by TOUCHING her. i mean, she doesn’t even look like herself. she’s more like a bad, male christina impersonator at the local gay bar…..with a bad crack habit. ugh. i wouldn’t be surprised if she broke up her marriage just so she could hump on some other dong. she’s always been a whore. nothing new.

  10. tekla says:

    wtf is with the cotton candy hair? it’s awful!

  11. lee says:

    i think it’s pretty hilarious that amidst all the lesbian rumours she makes out with this new guy at the abbey, which as far as i’m aware is a gay&lesbian bar in west hollywood. the same one she allegedly tries to pick up women at.

  12. mln76 says:

    @lee very interesting. I was thinking that this cheating story was a good way to distract from the gay rumours.

  13. aa says:

    OMG people why are you so harsh and judgemental. She is not firs and not last who’s divorcing, cheating, etc. Come on!

  14. dread pirate cuervo says:

    lee & mln, I’m going to jump on that “squash the gay rumors” bandwagon with you guys.

  15. cherry bomb says:

    shes preggers.

  16. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    @cherry bomb

    That makes a whole lot of sense!

  17. dre says:

    She’s not as orange lately but she sure looks like she could use a shower. Can someone pass her some shampoo and a loofah?

  18. teehee says:

    Well, it seems way too fast but when you consider that a relationship has to be dead for a while before you actually DO divorce, and that it spells weeks, months of dissatisfaction and lonliness- I guess I shouldnt be so shocked to see her transition into dating and having fun so quickly.

  19. Camille says:

    Count me in on the gay rumours bandwagon. That or she’s just a cheater.
    Either way, this whole thing is a very smelly fish.

  20. original kate says:

    hot tranny mess.

    that is all.

  21. Po says:

    I’m with everyone who says this is just a destraction. If she were not trying to destract attention away from the fact that she has been sleeping with women she wouldn’t be making out with a guy in such a public place and spending the holiday with him.

  22. David says:

    Not looking so good.

  23. The_Porscha says:

    Yeesh. That hair is fried. Her and Britney need hair therapy together, stat.

    And @nan: I noticed that, too. Hilarious contradiction. I don’t want to jump into anything, so I’m just going to start boning this random dude.

  24. craigc says:

    This chick is so desperate!
    Already in love months after a divorce???
    She looks miserable, though.
    GET SOME HELP!

  25. chickieboo says:

    christina needs to focus on her son and her career. why do people feel a need to go from one relationship to another so quickly?

  26. Jeri says:

    No one wants to admit they started screwing around on the movie set they met on, it’s always a “FRIENDSHIP” that later turned deeper.

    Must be taboo or unprofessional to admit you started getting it on, on the same movie you met on.

    I suppose it has been true at least once, but come on, who’s stupid enough to believe that over and over again. They should just refuse to talk about it instead of lying.

  27. Heather says:

    Who is styling her hair these days? In addition to it being in terrible condition, it looks like it was styled by someone with Tourettes Syndrome.

  28. Roma says:

    I agree with everyone saying it was to distract from the gay rumours. It’s a little too “look at me, I like the penis. So much, I couldn’t have any penis downtime. Just straight to another penis…”

  29. minnie says:

    @jen- who is “MJ”????? i’ve been wondering forever…

  30. Jayna says:

    A really strong friendship. LOL It’s called an emotional affair.

  31. Jayna says:

    Are you guys kidding me? If Xtina was into girls mainly, she would be shouting it from the rooftops. She would love the controversy.

  32. Happymom says:

    I call total bs. I think this is some gay guy friend that’s fronting as a “fling”. I think she’s been screwing around with SamRon and is heavy into partying.

  33. happygirl says:

    @ minnie – I believe they’re talking about Michael Jackson…there are at least a couple of people (or one using different names) who request him for HGF weekly…I always laugh, because Kaiser has already warned it would never happen LOL =)

  34. Delta Juliet says:

    She can feel however she wants to feel. HOWEVER, she should have enough tact and class to not be shouting it from the rooftops so quickly after filing for divorce. It’s a matter of appearances. But obviously she doesn’t care.

  35. di butler says:

    Did she attend the Angelina Jolie school of “we were just friends while making the movie, but now we are in luuurve?” Ho, plz.

  36. Louwho says:

    Her nasty Barbie hair and whore makeup have to go.

  37. HakuraChii says:

    @Delta Juliet- I agree with you entirely.

    She has every right to live her life the way she wants to. No one is perfect, and a lot of relationships & marriages don’t work out for whatever reason. I’m not arrogant, and wouldn’t claim to know her personal business.

    But it isn’t very classy to be so public about a brand new ‘so suddenly’ serious relationship when it’s been *so* little time since the divorce started moving. It just comes off disrespectful of how serious the end of a marriage is.

    Her style frustrates me so much. She has beautiful features, but so many of her fashion/makeup choices just… ruin it. If she could just maintain the classy makeup from her ‘pin up’ phase…

  38. Liana says:

    good Lord, this woman always has the makeup gun set on “whore.” She’s a pretty girl, she doesn’t need the clown makeup.

  39. slymm27 says:

    finally a cheating woman……..i was getting so bored with the wronged wife/girlfriend stories. Now this is a breath of fresh air…..i say xtina, do whatever makes you feel good.

  40. bellaluna says:

    Again I say: GET YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN EMOTIONALLY RECOVERED FROM YOUR SEPARATION/DIVORCE BEFORE YOU START DATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh, this just makes me so sick. That poor little 2-year-old Max is probably wondering what happened to his little world, and she’s talking to magazines about her new “friend.” Spare me your shit, Xtina. Been there, done that, didn’t cheat, and put my kids first!! (And my first sentence applies to women AND MEN alike!!)

    And don’t even get me started on her hair/make-up.

  41. jc126 says:

    I knew she wasn’t a lesbian. That’s a woman who loves…uh, male genitalia.

  42. Missfit says:

    Exactly…when I broke up with my ex…if I wasn’t crying over his dumb ass…I just wanted to be alone…and when I was having a good day, I centered all my attention on my son…I didn’t worry about going out on the streets being a whore, looking for a man. I mean it was always about my son, even if I was sad or glad, I was always there for him and he was there with me. It took me almost 2 years until I met someone. I think with any break up or divorce, we all need some time alone to heal and move on literally. She’s not doing this right at all. What she should HAVE done is spent Thanksgiving with her little man instead of with a new piece of ass she’s with. Her son should be much more important than any man right now. I think it’s very possible she was messing with this dude back in the movie making time…AND with women too, so ya. Poor Jordy. :/ And it’s not her weight gain that makes her look weird or “ugly.” She’s actually a very pretty girl, meaty or skinny…it’s just all that mess that’s going on (like everyone is saying)…the hair, clothes, makeup. No need to look like a whore and yes Christina, you can be a “sexy” mom, YES…but not a whore, there’s a difference. She definitely looked so much better before. I really idolized her…lately, not so much. :/

  43. Bitter fruit says:

    If NASA built their shuttles out of her makeup, they’d never have an accident again.

    Oh look, here’s Christina pretending to be straight again.

  44. nate says:

    I don’t buy the random ass assistant love at all. Didn’t she start parading him around town soon after the lesbian rumors hit. And now she is giving interviews about him only 6 weeks after she filed for a divorce? Smoke and mirrors.

  45. minnie says:

    @Jen,
    Thanks for answering my question! Even though I never could think of any other guy with the initials “MJ”, I honestly can’t believe they’re actually talking about Michael Jackson! Really?! Ewww! Good point about NAMBLA šŸ™‚

  46. malachais says:

    This b*tch would rather spend her day with her new bf than her child on Thanksgiving. 6 weeks after divorcing the father of her child.’Nuff said – another reason to not like Christina.

  47. slymm27 says:

    please, enough with your stories about how you dealt with your ex and kids. Xtina has a right to live the way she wants. Who made you the poster for getting over heartbreaks and divorce, some of you come here blabbing all the time saying a woman should deal with her kid this way or that. Please just stop, there is no black and white in this matter. Please leave her, and stop with all your sob stories.

  48. 1. She has already said that she and Jordan where seperated for a coule of months before she filed for divorce so she didn’t just run into it.

    2. It’s Jordans turn to have Max what do you want her to… sit alone in a hotel room on thanksgiving?!
