  4. Jamie Morrison (1998-1999) – Geri started going out with polo player Jamie Morrison in 1998. Talking about their relationship, Geri stated that he liked music and she liked polo. However, their relationship came to an end within a year as she found him quite dull.
  5. Chris Evans (1999) – Halliwell had a very short-lived affair with TV personality Chris Evans in November 1999. They had reportedly moved in together in that short period and then one night to escape it all, Evans stayed in a hotel and didn’t return her calls, and she decided it was all over. Some reports state that it was nothing other than a PR stunt concocted by PR guru Mathew Freud.
  6. Robbie Williams (2000) – Halliwell had a very public fling with the musician Robbie Williams in the summer of 2000. Halliwell later commended Robbie for nudging her to get treatment for the eating disorder. However, Robbie was less than impressed by their time together. He was particularly irritated with her possessive behavior and childish demands.

  8. Bobby Hashemi (2001) – Halliwell had found true love in the millionaire Bobby Hashemi. However, their three-month-long relationship fell flat after she suggested that they should move in together.

  9. Demian Warner (2002) – Geri met Chicago native Demian Warner at a rehab clinic in Arizona. He was in rehab for the drug problem and she was getting treatment for her eating disorder. He was reportedly asked to leave rehab due to compulsive womanizing. Their relationship became public in May 2002 after they were pictured making out in a Los Angeles restaurant. After dating for a brief period, they got engaged. Apparently, he wasn’t impressed with her insistence to sign a prenuptial agreement and to undertake an HIV test.
  10. Fred Durst (2003) – After flirting with the rock star, Fred Durst on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, she went out on a lunch date in Beverly Hills in March 2003. Their efforts to keep the date secret certainly raised suspicions about them.
  11. Duncan James (2004) – Geri hooked up with singer Duncan James in 2004. However, this short relationship seemed more like a PR exercise.
  12. Lee Ryan (2004) – Halliwell dated Lee Ryan after they were pictured flirting at a showbiz party. They further solidified dating rumors by making out at the Dolce & Gabbana bash.
  13. Jerry O’Connell (2004) – Geri had an affair with actor Jerry O’Connell in 2004. It was proved that the affair did happen and wasn’t a tabloid fantasy after his official girlfriend Giuliana Rancic accused him of going behind her back.
  14. Sacha Gervasi (2005) – Geri’s next flame was Los Angeles-based screenwriter Sacha Gervasi. Their affair stretched to six weeks in the summer of 2005.

  18. Ivan Velez (2008) – Geri got close to professional dancer Ivan Velez after working together during the Spice Girls Tour. Gradually, they had become more than friends. When the tour ended, she missed him, so she flew out to be with him in Los Angeles in February 2008. However, by November, they had broken up.
  19. Fabrizio Politi (2008-2009) – Halliwell met Italian hunk Fabrizio Politi at a nightclub in Florence in December 2008. Right from the start, their relationship progressed at a lightning speed as he proposed to her on Christmas Eve. In January, they released a statement confirming their engagement. He was even spotted carrying her daughter in London on a couple of occasions. But, Geri wasn’t still ready to settle down and broke the engagement in March 2009.
  20. Henry Beckwith (2009-2011) – Geri started going out with socialite heir Henry Beckwith in 2009. They had a very up and down two-year-long relationship, which ended because of her jealousy due to his female friends.
  21. Russell Brand (2012) – Geri and actor and comedian, Russell Brand got close during the closing ceremony of the London Olympics.

In case, she can’t head out due to England’s notorious wet weather, she sets the treadmill to a steep incline, grabs a pair of light dumbbells, and goes for a 20-minute power-walking session. To make it even more fun, she belts out her favorite hits while power walking.
