London, July 6 (ANI): Emma `Baby Spice' Bunton is famous for keeping herself away from all gossip and scandal, but sources have revealed a secret dark side of the singer.

According to sources, Baby Spice, who is expecting her first child with long-term boyfriend Jade Jones in September, has had love affairs with Justin Timberlake, Robbie Williams and footballer Rio Ferdinand.

Emma had a fling with Timberlake in 2003 following the release of his debut album "Justified". Before dating Justin, she was involved with Man U and England star Rio.

Rumor also had it that the singer dated Spice Girls supervisor Simon Fuller while he was managing the band.

“Emma had her fair share of boyfriends whenever she wasn’t with Jade. She had no problem pulling them because she is gorgeous and lovely. She was a real flirt too,” The Sun quoted an insider, as saying.

The singer had a string of flings with famous men when she was on a break from on-again-off-again boyfriend Jade, but was clever at keeping it out of the public eye.

“But she chose her men carefully, making sure they weren’t kiss-and-tell types.”

After the band split up, Emma released her first solo album "A Girl Like Me" which featured her No.1 hit ‘What Took You So Long’. In 2003, she scored British chart hits with several 1960s-style pop tunes from her second solo album "Free Me". (ANI)
