Christian Horner shared a sizzling snap of his wife Geri as he wished her a happy birthday on Instagram as she turned 53 on Wednesday.
The former Red Bull boss, 51, posted his other half wowing in a white one-shoulder swimsuit that showed off her incredible figure.
Christian, who shares son Monty, seven, with his wife, captioned the post: ‘Birthday vibes,’ with a red heart emoji.
Earlier in the day, he also shared a sweet snap of beaming Geri as she posed proudly with her birthday cake.
Last month, Geri was faced with yet another blow when it was reported that her book company Falcon Queen Productions had racked up a huge £1million debt.
It came following the news that Christian had been released from his operational duties as the boss of Red Bull one year after the scandal that engulfed him over texts he apparently sent to a female employee.
The Mirror reported, Geri had a deficit of £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 the previous year.
The singer released her children’s books, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen and Rose Frost: Ice On Fire via the firm.
However, her ‘main company, Wonderful Productions, earned £2.16m in the 12 months to August last year.’
Wonderful Productions was set up by Geri in 1997 at the height of the Spice Girls’ fame and channels earnings from her career in music and other commercial deals.
DailyMail has contacted Geri’s representative for comment.
Christian released from his operational duties as the boss of Red Bull ended the longest reign of Formula One team principals in the sport and came a year after the scandal that engulfed him over texts he apparently sent to a female employee.
Red Bull issued a statement confirming the news, reading: ‘Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties with effect from today, Wednesday 9 July 2025, and has appointed Laurent Mekies as CEO of Red Bull Racing.’
Geri stood by her husband after the explosive accusations rocked the Formula One paddock last year. Christian has vehemently denied the claims.
Screenshots of alleged WhatsApp messages between Horner and a Red Bull employee were leaked anonymously the day after a three-week investigation, carried out externally, cleared the him of all allegations.
He survived accusations of coercive behaviour towards his colleague – and was twice cleared in internal investigations of wrongdoing.
Meanwhile bandmates Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton and Mel C all shared birthday tributes to Geri – but there was nothing from Mel B as rumours of a feud rumble on.
Speculation that all is not well among the famous girl band has been rife for weeks after Geri was noticeably absent from Mel B’s London wedding last month.
While Geri did not attend Mel’s big day, amid claims things are still tense between the pair, the other members attempted to show that the girl power remains strong.
Victoria shared a picture of herself with Geri and Emma, alongside the caption: ‘Happy birthday Geri. Kisses Emma! xx’.
Meanwhile, Mel C shared her own heartfelt message, writing: ‘Happy birthday darling Geri, our Ginger Spice. Have an amazing day, love you to pieces.’
Mel posted a throwback snaps of the band’s heyday, as well as more recent pictures of the women together.
Baby Spice took to Instagram to share a throwback snap from the band’s 90s heyday, as well as an image of herself and Geri from her wedding to husband Christian Horner in 2015.
She captioned the post: ‘Happy Birthday to my beautiful friend @gerihalliwellhorner! Love you to bits. Have the most gorgeous day.’
Over the weekend, Emma and Geri’s bandmate Mel C was the only member of the group to attend Mel B’s ‘spiritual’ second wedding to Rory McPhee in Morocco.
While Emma made the first ceremony at London’s St Paul’s cathedral last month, Geri nor Victoria were in attendance at either do – though the latter sent her apologies.
It was thought the Spice Girls could be set for a reunion at the Moroccan celebrations, with Geri given the chance to extend an olive branch to Mel if she attended the North African ceremony, however it wasn’t meant to be.
Geri’s no show was said to be down to hers and Mel’s tempestuous relationship.
The two women went to war after Mel revealed during an interview on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories that she had an intimate relationship with Geri when the band was starting out. Geri was deeply upset by the bombshell revelation in 2019, for which Mel has apparently never apologised.
