Charlotte Church appeared "really close" to a new man this weekend.
The 'Crazy Chick' singer - who split from rugby ace fiance Gavin Henson in May - was seen enjoying the Green Man music festival in Wales with Jonathan Powell, enjoying the bands and drinking cider with pals.
An onlooker at the festival said: "Charlotte looked really happy. She was larking around with a group of mates, drinking cider and enjoying the bands.
"She and Jonathan were laughing and singing along. They seemed really close and didn't care who was gossiping about them nearby."
Charlotte's mother Maria is said to be keen on the new romance, encouraging the pair to get together.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Maria is encouraging Charlotte to see more of Jonathan. She thinks he's a great guy and a good catch."
Charlotte - who has children Ruby, two, and Dexter, 20 months, with Gavin - was first romantically linked with Jonathan last month after they were seen sharing a McDonald's meal.
However, the 24-year-old star's representative insisted their relationship was strictly a working one after they collaborated on tracks for her forthcoming album 'Back To Scratch'.
Her spokesperson said: "As far as I know they are just work colleagues."

Kelly Osbourne prefers hanging out with guys now she is single.
The 25-year-old star - who split from fiance Luke Worrall last month amid rumours he had cheated on her - thinks she can have more fun with her male pals, instead of chatting to her female friends and dwelling on her heartbreak.
She said: "Since Luke and I broke up, I'm not really hanging out with girls. It's because guys are simpler: I'm not ready to be with anyone new and I don't want to talk about it, so we just have fun.
"I'm grateful I have great men in my life who recognise this, like Louis Vito, Braydon Szafranski and Josh Hansen. Thanks guys!"
The presenter also blasted "bulls**t" rumours about her love life, insisting she is no longer romantically involved with anyone.
She wrote in her column for Closer magazine: "It's starting to get annoying that whenever I hang out with my mates, someone always says I'm hooking up with a new man. It's so boring. A US magazine also published an article saying I was considering getting back with Luke, which is rubbish. I just wish it would stop, because all it does is make everything harder for both of us. It's just bulls**t."

Katy Perry threw an 'Alice in Wonderland'-themed bridal shower yesterday (22.08.10).
The 'California Gurls' singer - who is engaged to British comedic star Russell Brand - invited guests to an intimate garden party at a family friend's house in Los Angeles to celebrate her impending nuptials.
A source said: "The party had an 'Alice in Wonderland' theme and only 11 of her closest friends were invited."
Guests included her DJ pal Mia Moretti, Markus Molinari and her stylists Logan Horne, Rick Henry and Aaron Light.
Among the pop star's family members was her grandmother who brought along with her a picture of a young Katy posing in a pink outfit, which the 25-year-old singer then posted on her twitter page alongside the comment: "grandma brought this one outta the closet today! (sic)"
In a bid to keep the event secret, everyone invited was asked to leave their phones at the door apart from Katy.
The brunette beauty recently revealed she didn't plan to wear a latex wedding dress when she ties the not because of how hot they make her.
She said: "I'm definitely not going to get married in latex. When I wear latex on stage, I sweat. I could wring out those dresses - and I don't want to do that at my wedding."

Alex Reid almost had his "head caved in" by a giraffe.
The cage fighter - who is stepfather to wife Katie Price's three children, Harvey, eight, Junior, five, and three-year-old Princess Tiaamii - enjoyed a day out at London zoo with his family recently, but narrowly escaped serious injury after one of the giant African animals attempted to kick him.
He said: "I had a day off recently and Katie, me and the kids went to London Zoo. It wasn't exactly relaxing, as everyone wanted to visit different animals, get food, different ice creams. but it was great fun!
"The best bit was feeding the giraffes, although I leant over too far into the enclosure at one point and one of the giraffes went to kick me. Their keeper said it could have killed me, as their kicks can make your head cave in!"
As well as enjoying a day out with his family, the 35-year-old star is making plans to move house and is most looking forward to designing his own gym for the property.
Alex added in his column for Star magazine: "We are still living in our old house, and starting work on the new one before we move in. I want to build a gym in there. I have a gym at the minute, but I want this new one to be really state of the art - I can't wait!"

Kylie Minogue stunned drinkers when she played a gig in an English pub.
The pop superstar turned up at the Ring O' Bells in Somerset, South West England, to perform a string of chart-topping hits as a favour to her record company Parlophone.
The 42-year-old Australian singer walked into the public house at 10.30pm and in a tiny alcove she belted out five songs.
She sang an acoustic version of her current hit 'All the Lovers' as well as '80s classics 'I Should Be So Lucky' and 'Locomotion'.
Kylie had turned up at the Ring O'Bells on her tour bus last Thursday (19.08.10) for a sound check before the doors opened.
Landlady Lauren Goddard, 32, told the Daily Express newspaper: "It was all quite surreal, to be honest. It's not the sort of thing you expect to see in a quiet local pub like this. We were sworn to secrecy and didn't even tell the staff until 30 minutes before the doors opened.
"Kylie was very friendly and down-to-earth. She didn't make any demands and she was very polite."
The surprise acoustic concert was laid on by record bosses as the highlight of an away-day trip in Compton Martin for 120 of its staff.
Pub managers Lauren and Rueben Goddard agreed to stage the concert after being approached by Parlophone boss Miles Leonard, who lives in the village.
The fun-packed evening also included sets by Parlophone artists Tinie Tempah, Eliza Doolittle and Morning Parade - before Kylie appeared as the headline act.
Earlier in the evening, Tinie played his hit 'Pass Out' and new track 'Written In The Stars'.
Reuben, 25, told The Sun newspaper: "The locals were shocked but we all had an evening we'll never forget. It's a bit out of the ordinary for round here."
