Geri Halliwell has started talking to Sacha Gervasi, the father of her child, after feeling “overwhelmed with guilt” that Bluebell might miss out on a relationship with her dad. The former Spice Girl, who described herself as a “single mother” and even left his name off the birth certificate, plans to grant him access following advice from pals including Robbie Williams. The source says, “She has had time to think and Robbie’s words struck a chord. She now knows he was only trying to do the right thing. Geri has been through the mill in the past year and her split with Sacha wasn’t exactly on good terms. She knew that she was going to be a single mum but, in recent days, she has started to think of her little girl’s long-term future and decided to give Sacha a fair hearing. Now they are speaking every day, sometimes for hours. They both get pretty emotional and are trying to find some common ground and work out what’s best for the baby. The last thing either of them want is for this to be dragged through the courts.” [21 June 2006]
