GERI HALLIWELL has split from her Italian fiancé less than three months after getting engaged.
The former Ginger Spice, 36, enjoyed a whirlwind romance with shipping tycoon FABRIZIO POLITI.
The couple met in a nightclub in Florence in December and over Christmas in Italy he asked her to marry him.
But the relationship crashed after Geri — according to a source — “woke up one morning last week and decided she just wasn’t the marrying type”.
The insider added: “She loved being in a relationship but decided that all she needs is her daughter Bluebell to keep her happy.

“Fabrizio is upset but totally respects Geri’s wishes.
“Her friends are not surprised — Geri has a track record for getting cold feet.”
Fabrizio, 34, employs 300 people in Pisa building luxury boats for his firm Fashion Yachts.
The couple issued a statement in January confirming the engagement — with a get-out clause.
Her management company 19 said then: “There are no immediate plans for marriage, the couple are enjoying the engagement.”
Geri, whose Spice Girl hits include 2 Become 1 and Wannabe, has a poor romantic record.
She did not last the distance with radio DJ CHRIS EVANS, singer ROBBIE WILLIAMS nor scriptwriter SACHA GERVASI — the dad of her two-year-old daughter.
Geri last year admitted: “I can be fickle. One minute I think somebody is the love of my life, the next I don’t. I have commitment issues.”
She said in another interview: “So many people get divorced — why effing bother.
“I’d love to find my soulmate and think, ‘Oh my God’. But that man would have to add something to my life.”
