LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Christina Aguilera and fiancé Matthew Rutler shared a special kiss Wednesday.

The 35-year-old singer posted a photo of herself embracing the 30-year-old guitarist in the pouring rain on Instagram, immediately evoking The Notebook comparisons.

The couple's smooch called to mind the famous rainy kiss Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling shared in the 2004 romantic drama. The pair played Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun in the film, which won Best Kiss at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards.

Aguilera and Rutler met on the set of Burlesque in 2010, and got engaged in February 2014. The couple share 16-month-old daughter Summer Rain Rutler, and the singer is also mother to 7-year-old son Max Liron Bratman with ex-husband Jordan Bratman.

"I am not in a rush to set a [wedding] date," the star told People in February. "Our love is secure enough that we don't need a wedding to prove our love and commitment. We are enjoying our daughter, our family and our work for now."

"Watching them grow is an incredible thing," she added of her children. "I try to remember to cherish every moment, because I know it won't last forever ... It's a beautiful thing to experience them evolve into the people they become and wonder what they will offer the world one day."

The Notebook earned $115 million at the box office, and is being adapted for TV at The CW. McAdams' audition tape for the film circulated on the movie's 10th anniversary in 2014, prompting director Nick Cassavetes to reveal Gosling initially wanted the actress fired.
