Former SPICE GIRL GERI HALLIWELL has reportedly split from her toyboy lover IVAN 'FLIPZ' LEVEZ.

Geri, 36, had been dating the Los Angeles-based dancer, 29, since April this year but is now rumoured to have called time on the romance.

A friend of the star revealed: "She called Flipz when she returned to the UK from LA and confessed that things just weren't working for her.

"Geri said she'd hoped it would be an amazing love-of-her-life romance, but that the spark just wasn't there. She couldn't deal with the distance between
them and thought it was best to end it before he got even more hurt.

"As far as Flipz was concerned they were strong together and had a bright future. They'd talked about kids and marriage. But I guess in her eyes, it just
wasn't meant to be."

Geri has previously been linked to pop star ROBBIE WILLIAMS and scriptwriter SACHA GERVASI, who fathered the singer's two-year-old daughter,
Bluebell.
