Christina Aguilera’s new boyfriend Matthew Rutler is a “solid guy all round”.
The ‘Beautiful’ singer – who announced she had split
from husband Jordan Bratman in October after almost five years of
marriage – has been romancing the set assistant in recent weeks and
Helen Breuer, one of his oldest friends, says the hunk is incredibly
thoughtful and attentive.
Helen told RadarOnline.com: “He’s just a solid guy all around.
"My mother was elderly and Matt was always all too happy to help her
out, especially when it was snowing. He shoveled our walk way and he
helped my mom to and from the house.
"When all the other kids were out sledding, Matt would be helping us out.”
Christina, 29, admitted last week she had strong feelings for Matt, who
she started dating after they met on the set of her latest movie
‘Burlesque’.
The singer-and-actress – who has a two-year-old son Max with Jordan - said: “There's a love there, yes.
"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.”
However, the blonde beauty admits she is taking her romance slowly.
She added: "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."
