New Couple Alert! Xtina Has A New Man!

Although she only filed for separation from Jordan Bratman a few weeks ago, Christina Aguilera is already on the prowl.

The singer has been quietly dating Matthew D. Rutler, a set assistant on Burlesque. The two went on a double date hide at El Lay’s SoHo House on Friday with Nicole Richie and Joel Madden.

But the romance didn’t start off strong – it sparked from a friendship!

A source close to Xtina claims:

“It’s not serious yet, but it’s something she is exploring and finding comfort in. It’s new and she├óΓé¼Γäós taking it day by day. She and Jordan were having problems for a long time. What kept them together is their love for their son. She met [Matthew] on set and, during a difficult time, leaned on as a friend. After she and Jordan separated, the friendship turned romantic.

Being a great mom to Max is the most important thing in her life.”

Ha. The source is pretty reliable, so we’re excited!

Go get ’em, honey.
