It's all celebrations in the Halliwell-Horner household as Spice Girl Geri and her husband Christian celebrate their 11th wedding anniversary on 15 May.

The couple tied the knot at St Mary's Church in Woburn, Bedfordshire, in the presence of a whole host of stars, including Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Myleene Klass, and Amanda Holden.

Since then, Geri has opened up about her marriage on the odd occasion. In March 2025, she gave an insight into her relationship with the former Red Bull exec to The Sunday Times – and their set-up isn't as glamorous as one might expect from a world-famous popstar. 

Geri and Christian's quality time

"We walk the dogs together, we like walking. I bought him a goldendoodle for his birthday. I hid the puppy in a phone box and handed it to him," she revealed. "We're very much old-school and family-focused. He loves doing barbecues – it's a real man thing. He's very tidy. I might leave things around, which makes him a bit cross."

She continued: "We'll find a TV series that we lock into. I'll try my best not to watch it when he goes away. I waited for him before finishing Severance. We like playing games too. The other day, in the kitchen, we were playing 20 questions – you've got to guess what the object is. We're quite silly."

The pair share a nine-year-old son, Monty, while Geri is a mum to 19-year-old Bluebell from a previous relationship and is a stepmum to Christian's daughter, Olivia, 12.

Date day

The couple, who have been publicly dating since March 2014 and got engaged that November, were last spotted together on a public outing in March. Geri and Christian attended Gold Cup Day of the Cheltenham Festival, where they packed on the PDA from the royal box balcony.

The children's book author celebrated her wins by leaning towards her husband and kissing him on the cheek as he grinned with glee. In another moment, Geri gently rested her head on Christian's shoulder.

Standing as one

The pair put up a united front after a tumultuous period. In 2025, Christian was sacked from his position as the team principal for the Red Bull Formula 1 team after 20 years of serving in the role.  The dismissal came 17 months after he was accused of "inappropriate behaviour" by a female colleague.

Red Bull GmBH, the team's parent company, cleared Christian of the claims twice, with the female complainant being suspended on full pay, and an appeal was also dismissed. Throughout the process, Geri's husband denied all accusations.
