Christina Aguilera met her new bf at the film’s set

Many Hollywood romances blossom on film sets.

And it seems the same is true for Christina Aguilera and her new boyfriend Matt Rutler.

The couple met on the set of her debut film Burlesque earlier in the year, but the singer says they didn’t start dating until after she filed for divorce from her husband Jordan Bratman.

New pictures have emerged showing that the pair did indeed grow close during filming, and that Matt, who worked as a set assistant, was glued to her side. The 29-year-old singer has been open about the fact that she struck up a friendship with Rutler, who is also a guitarist, during filming.

“Matthew is a special person,” she said last week. “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.”
