Washington, Nov 12 : Popstar Geri Halliwell has ended her whirlwind romance with Ivan ‘Flipz’ Levez, it has emerged.

Apparently, the ‘Wannabe’ hitmaker could not deal with distance between them, though they had a bright future ahead.

The 36-year-old had been dating the Los Angeles-based dancer, 29, since April this year (08) but is now rumoured to have called time on the romance.

“She called Flipz when she returned to the U. K. from L. A. and confessed that things just weren''t working for her,” Contactmusic quoted a pal, as telling Closer magazine.

"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,” the pal added.

Though Flipz believed the two had a bright future together, Halliwell reportedly was not of the same view anymore.

"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,” the pal said.

Halliwell has earlier been linked to pop star Robbie Williams and scriptwriter Sacha Gervasi, who fathered the singer''s two-year-old daughter, Bluebell. (ANI)
