Geri Halliwell, also known as Ginger Spice of the 90's UK pop group, Spice Girls, is rumored to be dating comedian and actor, Russel Brand. While Geri Halliwell, 40, nor Brand, 37, have yet to confirm or deny the rumors, sources reveal that the British celebrities have been heating up since July.

"Russell is mad for her. They text and talk to each other loads," an unnamed source revealed, according to Heat Celebrity News.

AZ Central reported that Brand, Katy Perry's former husband, was dating Isabella Brewster. However, he ended his relationship with her after "falling for Geri while the pair were rehearsing for the London Olympics Closing Ceremony earlier this month," the publication added.

"People thought Russell was joking at the time, when he said he had a crush on Geri all over again, but it was true."

While it definitely sounds as if the British celebrities are an item, E! Online News cited a unnamed source that claims Geri Halliwell and Russel Brand are "just friends and have been out a few times."

Brand's reps have yet to make a comment regarding the rumored romance. However, Halliwell's reps have responded but have not confirmed a romantic relationship.

"They're just friends and have been out a few times, there's not much else to add at this stage," they said to Daily Mail.
