Russell Brand and his rumoured new girlfriend Geri Halliwell "are at the same place with their lives".

The pair began dating days after their performances at the London Olympics Closing Ceremony weeks ago.

Russell and Geri are reportedly really serious about their relationship.

They are both sober and enthused by the prospect of dating a partner that doesn't drink alcohol.

"Russell and Geri are at the same place with their lives and they want to settle and enjoy the fruits of their labour," a source told Radar Online.

"Russell and Geri bonded over the fact that there's more to life than drinking.

"Back in the 90s the pair partied for England. Their drunken escapades were well documented and there wasn't a day where they weren't pictured staggering out of a hip London venue. But now they like nothing more than shunning the fancy clubs and bars.

"They have cleaned up their lifestyles, both are avid Yogis and don't touch a drop of alcohol.

"Geri has her daughter Bluebell to consider, while Russell has been sober for almost 10 years and has risen to the top clean and knows if he did drink he would be right back where he started."
