GERI Halliwell-Horner may have just lifted the lid on the news Spice Girls fans have waited for, and that the girl group is reuniting.
The pop star took to Instagram to wish her fellow Spice Girl, Melanie Brown, a happy birthday.

“Happy 50th birthday @officialmelb wishing you a very wonderful year ahead,” Geri captioned the post, alongside a vintage photo of the pair in their Spice Girls heyday.
Rumors have been circulating for months that the Spice Girls are planning a reunion tour, and Geri’s post seems to show the rift between her and Mel B may be healed.
The pair have had a tumultuous relationship over the years, including last year when Mel B jokingly wished Geri a “happy 75th birthday,” with unflattering photos of her to Instagram.
Mel B’s post was likely poking fun at rumors that went around during the Spice Girls that Geri had lied abotu her age and was in fact, much older than she’d admitted.
Geri was also unhappy with Mel B when the latter revealed the pair had hooked up early in the Spice Girls career.
She told Piers Morgan’s Life Stories in 2019: “We were best friends. It just happened. Have you ever done that?”
Geri had previously she “didn’t like the lesbian thing,” on an interview with Howard Stern.
Speaking to the US shock jock DJ back in the 90s, Geri decided against naming Mel and simply said her lesbian experience was with “a famous woman”.
She said: “I had lesbian sex once. I realised quickly I was not a lesbian. I don’t mind boobs but the other bit is not my cup of tea.
“I didn’t like the lesbian thing. It is part of experimenting. I was drunk at the time.”
Spice Girls set for 2026 global reunion tour – But will Victoria Beckham join?
The pair did reunite last year to celebrate their fellow Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday, where the entire group came together to recreate the iconic dance from their song, Stop.
As for a potential Spice Girls reunion, their bandmate, Melanie Chisholm, gave an update on its likelihood.
The Sun told earlier this month how they are planning a massive tour in 2026 to celebrate 30 years since debut single Wannabe was released.
Mel C revealed certain members have needed more “convincing” than others, with Victoria Beckham currently not set to take part.
She is expected to keep out of it just like she did with their sell-out 2019 reunion tour, but Geri Halliwell-Horner has also needed some persuading, which is why she is meeting with the band’s manager Simon Fuller in Miami.
Speaking on the No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast, Mel C said: “Next year is a big year for us and we have to acknowledge it in some way.
“So we are talking about what that’s going to look like and for me, Melanie, I know for sure, and Emma [Bunton], we’d be back on stage. But sometimes other people need a little bit more convincing.”
