Christina Aguilera and long time boyfriend Matt Rutler are engaged. The Voice coach and Genie in a Bottle singer and her beau got engaged on Valentine’s Day.

“They’re very much in love and are really excited to take this next step!” a source told People magazine.

Aguilera has one child–a son named Max–from her marriage to Jordan Bratman. Rutler has been a constant in Max’s life since he was a very small boy.

While it’s a bit cliche to get engaged on what is supposed to be the most romantic day of the year, romance is romance, and Christina Aguilera is now sporting a beautiful engagement ring, She was all too happy to share word of her engagement via Twitter–teasing fans by saying, “He asked and I said…….”

That’s an incredibly impressive engagement ring Christina is wearing. Musician and production assistant Matt Rutler must rake in some pretty impressive dough in order to put out enough to buy a ring like that. Of course when one is asking Christina Aguilera for her hand in marriage, one cannot do so with a solitaire from Zales.

Very little information has been released yet about Christina Aguilera’s engagement to Matt Rutler–not wear he popped the question or if any wedding plans are in the foreseeable future. It will be very interesting to learn what the couple’s plans are.

Alas no one will be learning by tuning in to The Voice when its new season premieres on February 24th. Christina is taking this season off and Shakira is once again taking her place. That means TV, print and online news will have to suffice until next season of The Voice rolls around. It will be fun to listen to Blake Shelton and Adam Levine tease Xtina about her impending nuptials.

How long do you suppose it might actually be before Christina Aguilera and Matt Rutler actually tie that proverbial knot?
