Emma Bunton took to Instagram this week to share a very rare photo of her son, Tate. The former Spice Girl is a proud mum to two boys with partner Jade Jones – Tate, nine, and his older brother, 13-year-old Beau – but tends to keep her family out of the spotlight.

Emma has said the couple would love to have more children

When asked if she would like another baby, Emma replied: "Yes. But it's whether it's the right time. Whether it's right, whether I'm lucky enough. I'm 44 now… I just love now that my children are a little bit older and we're spending loads of time together.

"They're my priority at the moment but if you asked Jade he'd want one tomorrow. But for me I am enjoying my two at the moment."
