CHRISTINA AGUILERA feels a "love" for her new boyfriend.

The singer-and-actress has revealed she has developed strong feelings for lover Matt Rutler, just weeks after she filed for divorce from her husband Jordan Bratman with whom she was married for just under five years.

When asked what her feelings were for Matt, she told People magazine: "There's a love there, yes."

The 29-year-old star says she is having fun with Matt—who she met when he worked as a set assistant on her film Burlesque—and has described him as a "special person."

She added to the publication: "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.

"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. I'm having fun, I'm dating and it's something I haven't had in a really long time."

She also opened up about her split from Jordan—with whom she has a two-year-old son Max with—and has revealed they split because they grew apart in their relationship.

She said: "We were great the first year after Max was born. Jordan was amazing. He was the first to change Max's diaper. Then things turned. I was nurturing Max and felt independent in the relationship.

"I went right into filming Burlesque (in 2009)... and I was growing leaps and bounds daily. I went from being a girl to a woman... and when I finished filming, I didn't feel right in my own shoes [at home]. I had a lot of things stirring inside of me that I felt were being suppressed.

"We tried to work on the marriage and figure out a common ground, but the problems were obvious."         

SIR ELTON JOHN doesn't think his career will ever end.

The 63-year-old musician—who recently released his 30th studio album The Union—doesn't think his career will end because his back catalogue of songs is so big.

He said: "I feel really confident about my career now. A friend once said, 'What happens if it all ended tomorrow?' I said, 'It's not gonna happen.'

"You've got a while catalogue of songs you can rely on and I'm driven and I'm ambitious and I don't wanna stop there. Billy Joel hasn't written a song since 1993 and is quite happy to go around singing his old hits time after time after time.
