A few weeks ago, Christina Aguilera split from her husband of almost 5 years, producer Jordan Bratman. The two began dating in 2002 before announcing their engagement in February of 2005, and then getting married later that year in November. Only 5 short years later, the two have decided to call it quits and pull the plug.
Rumors are flying, saying that Aguilera was cheating on Bratman before the divorce papers were even signed, let alone before the decision to separate was made. This has yet to be confirmed and Aguilera's people have yet to comment. A source tells us that several months before the divorce was issued, Aguilera and Bratman were leading separate lives. "They were very much in love, but over the last six months, it became clear that they were more like friends than husband and wife."
Although one might think Christina could be heart-broken over the divorce, she surprisingly bounced back fast. The 29-year-old was spotted with Matthew Rutler, a production assistant from her latest movie Burlesque, earlier this month while leaving Soho House with Nicole Richie and Joel Madden on a double date. Just last weekend, the two were caught exiting Xtina's hotel holding hands. A source tells us that Aguilera and Rutler have been trying to keep their relationship "under wraps."
As for Rutler being the man Aguilera cheated with on Bratman, we can't be positive. Apparently, the relationship didn't turn romantic untill AFTER Aguilera separated from Bratman.
