Los Angeles - Geri Halliwell has announced she's engaged to Christian Horner.
The engagement of the 42-year-old Spice Girls singer and the Infiniti Red Bull Racing Formula 1 boss was confirmed in a £324 notice in the Births, Marriages and Deaths page on Tuesday morning's The Times newspaper.
The post reads: "Mr C.E.J. Horner OBE and Geri Halliwell, The engagement is announced between Christian, son of Mr and Mrs G.M. Horner and Geraldine, daughter of the late Mr L.F. Halliwell and Mrs A. Parkinson."
The pair, who have been friends since 2009, started dating in March 2014, and rumours have been circulating for some time that they are set to tie the knot.
Geri also took to her Twitter account to share the news.
Christian and I are delighted to announce that we are engaged! We're both very happy. ??
