GERI HALLIWELL - GERI BAGS A BILLIONAIRE

GERI HALLIWELL is dating Russian billionaire EVGENY LEBEDEV, according to reports.

The rumour mill went into overdrive after the two were spotted enjoying each other's company at a summer party at London's Serpentine Gallery.

And earlier this week, the artist formerly known as Ginger Spice was seen cuddling up to a mystery man while holidaying in St Tropez.

"Geri is in the early stages of her relationship with Evgeny, but they are very happy together," the Daily Mail quoted a source as saying.

"She is having a lot of fun with him and he is a breath of fresh air after all of her disastrous dates in the past."

The source added that, while Evgeny is only 26, that is a "perfect" age for her because "she likes the younger man".

"Geri is in a good place at the moment, she's getting herself fit and ready for the SPICE GIRLS tour and her new love is the icing on the cake for her."

Evgeny is the first man Geri has dated since splitting from her baby's father, SACHA GERVASI, in 2005.
