Spice Girl icon Geri Halliwell marked her 53rd birthday in show-stopping style as husband Christian Horner posted a striking snap of her in a one-shoulder white swimsuit.
The Red Bull Racing boss, 51, shared the sun-kissed image on Instagram with the caption “Birthday vibes” and a heart emoji, showing Geri posing on a boat against a sparkling ocean backdrop. The couple, who share seven-year-old Monty, looked every bit the power pair as they celebrated her big day aboard a luxury yacht.
It’s a rare public romantic gesture from Christian and comes during a busy – and at times turbulent – period for the couple. Just weeks earlier, Geri skipped the wedding of her fellow Spice Girl Mel B to Rory McPhee, fuelling long-running speculation about tensions within the group. Only Emma Bunton attended, while Victoria Beckham sent her well wishes from afar. Geri also remained quiet after news broke of Mel’s second celebration in Morocco.
The birthday celebrations arrive amid mixed fortunes for the singer’s ventures. Reports claim her publishing company, Falcon Queen Productions, recorded debts of £750,000 last year, up from £276,000 the previous year, despite the release of her latest novel Rosie Frost: Ice On Fire. However, her main entertainment firm, Wonderful Productions, continues to thrive with £2.16 million in earnings – and with a combined net worth of £440 million, she and Christian remain one of Britain’s wealthiest celebrity couples.
For now, though, Geri’s focus seems firmly on soaking up the sunshine, her husband’s heartfelt tribute, and a milestone birthday in the most glamorous way possible.
