Aguilera has 'love' for boyfriend Rutler

Christina Aguilera has revealed that she feels ''love'' for her new boyfriend Matt Rutler.

The singer and actress, who recently filed for divorce from her husband Jordan Bratman after nearly five years of marriage, admitted that she has already developed strong feelings for Rutler.

When asked how she feels about the production assistant, she told People: "There's a love there, yes."

The 29-year-old met Rutler on the set of her film Burlesque and said that the pair had a "strong friendship" while working on the movie.

She explained: "Matthew is a special person. We had a really strong friendship on the movie. 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. I'm having fun, I'm dating and it's something I haven't had in a really long time."

Aguilera also confessed that the reason that she and Bratman ended their marriage was because they had grown apart.

She said: "We were great the first year after Max was born. Jordan was amazing. He was the first to change Max's diaper. Then things turned. I was nurturing Max and felt independent in the relationship.

"I went right into filming Burlesque (in 2009) and I was growing leaps and bounds daily. I went from being a girl to a woman... and when I finished filming, I didn't feel right in my own shoes (at home). I had a lot of things stirring inside of me that I felt were being suppressed.

"We tried to work on the marriage and figure out a common ground, but the problems were obvious."
