Geri Halliwell engaged

Spice Girls star Geri Halliwell is engaged to marry Formula One team boss Christian Horner.

The pop star, 42, announced the news in a notice in British newspaper The Times, which reads, "Mr C.E.J. Horner OBE and Miss G.E. 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."

Horner, head of the Red Bull motor team, was awarded a Most Excellent Order of the British Empire medal for his services to the sport last year (14).

The singer went public with their romance earlier this year (14).

Halliwell and Horner both have children from previous relationships.
