Christina Aguilera has met her rumoured new boyfriend's mother.

The 'Beautiful' singer - who announced her split from husband Jordan Bratman, the father of her two-year-old son Max, in October - has been linked to Matt Rutler over recent weeks and the pair flew to his hometown of New York over the weekend after she had to spend Thanksgiving (25.11.10) in Los Angeles without Max.

A source said: "This is the first Thanksgiving she was without Max. It was really hard for her and she was feeling sad, so she decided to go to the East Coast with Matt and a group of friends.

"Since his family lives so close, they decided to drop in for a few hours."

However, friends insist this doesn't mean Christina and Matt - who met on the set of her film 'Burlesque' - are getting serious about each other and they are keen to take things slowly.

One pal told People: "They're still getting to know each other better."

As well as meeting Matt's mother, Christina recently revealed she is "entering a new chapter" in her life.

The 29-year-old star said: "I'm doing good - really, really good. Sometimes change is necessary. I'm entering a whole different chapter in my life now with the movie, and my son, and being a mother - the next evolution in my life. And it feels good - it feels really good."
