Geri Halliwell wants to be pregnant when she gets married.

The former Spice Girls star - who has two-year-old daughter Bluebell from a previous relationship - is already planning her wedding to shipping tycoon Fabrizio Politi and is desperate to start a family as soon as possible.

A source said: "Geri wants a summer wedding and hopes to be pregnant by then. She's been busy thinking about the nuptials since she announced her engagement to Fabrizio Politi. She is keen for a sibling for Bluebell."

A statement made by Geri's spokesperson at the time of the engagement announcement in January said the couple - who met last October - were in no rush to wed. However, the source added to Reveal magazine: "Last month they were considering getting married in Las Vegas, but it looks like Geri has her heart set on a summer wedding."

Geri and Fabrizio have reportedly considered eloping to America and even asked former bandmate Victoria Beckham if they could use her Los Angeles home for the ceremony.

The source explained: "She's thrilled that new love Fabrizio gets on so well with Victoria and David. Geri's so pleased Fabrizio has been keen to foster a relationship with them."
