Christina Aguilera spied with new lover

[HMG Celebrity News] – You might have read that forthcoming divorcée, Christina Aguilera was seen in the company of Lindsay Lohan’s alleged former beau, Samantha Ronson. Well, apparently the medication wore off and Christina now has a new friend — Matthew Rutler.

Christina, 29, met her new man on the set of ‘Burlesque,’ a cabaret-style drama in which she co-stars with Cher. Matt was one of the production assistants.

The pair were spied on Friday, sharing a double date with Nicole Richie and Joel Madden at ‘SoHo’ in West Hollywood. And Christina was strangely keen to keep him away from the cameras;

“It’s not serious yet, but it’s something she’s finding comfort in,” a friend tells People. “She and Jordan were having problems for a long time. She met Matt on the set and leaned on him as a friend. After she and Jordan separated, that friendship turned romantic.”

But the fawning friend insists Christina’s #1 priority is still her 3-year old son, Max.

“Being a great mom to Max is the most important thing in her life,” the friend assures us.

In a convenient coincidence, Burlesque opens on November 24. And a story of a supposedly secret romance should do its box-office prospects no harm at all…
