Spicy Red Head Dating Russian Billionaire

While her former (or future?) band mate Victoria is trying to conquer the US soil, Geri Halliwell goes east. Our sources state that Geri is dating young future billionaire, Evgeny Lebedev, heir to one of the greatest fortunes in Eastern Europe and the son of banker Alexander Lebedev (who, coincidentally, is a former KGB agent). Rumor has it they met through another Russian tycoon, Chelsea's boss Roman Abramovich, as Geri is a friend of Abramovich's ex-wife, Irina. Sounds like Geri has the entire Russian mob behind her, so people should be careful not to piss her off. I'm just kiddin', relax...

Although Geri is deeply involved in the Spice Girls reunion that has been announced some time ago, she still has a little time left to roam the clubs, partying with her new boyfriend. They have been seen in London on a Wednesday night, making their first public appearance at the Serpentine Gallery summer party. People say that they were quite intimate with each-other, him playing with her white dress and even making spicy remarks such as "Are you wearing a thong, darling?". Well, that's at least what some say.

Also, someone who attended the party (probably a waiter), was quoted saying the following: "They looked very much together all night and were whispering in each other's ears. Geri seemed totally besotted with him and kept touching his arm. And it looked like the feeling was very much mutual." Sounds pretty serious to me, and I smell some Russian cash flowing into this Spice Girls reunion everyone talks about.

After they left the party, Evgeny - acting like a gentleman - offered his coat to Ginger Spice, as the weather was getting more and more British. Oh, how touching! Actually, Geri seems to need a good man, as she is a single mom since last year, when she split-up with Sacha Gervasi, father of her baby-daughter, Bluebell.

It is also worth mentioning that Evgeny is eight years younger than Geri and, most likely, a few million pounds richer. Well, baby needs food, baby need clothes, toys and more. Someone's gotta pay for all that. Evgeny also has some other friends in common with Ginger, most notably Sir Elton John, whom he supported in a fund raising concert. Geri has not given an official statement yet, but she's also not exactly willing to give details concerning her private life. But the media is sure to dig up some more information, as events play along in the next few weeks.
