Geri Halliwell has stepped out at the F1 British Grand Prix with her family, just one day after she snubbed her former Spice Girl bandmate Mel B’s wedding to Rory McPhee
Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has made a public appearance at the F1 British Grand Prix, looking stunning in an all-white ensemble, just one day after missing her former bandmate Mel B’s wedding.
The 52-year-old Spice Girl was noticeably absent as Mel tied the knot with fiancé Rory McPhee at St Paul’s Cathedral in London on Saturday, surrounded by a host of A-list guests. Geri also chose not to post any well wishes to Mel B on social media, adding further fuel to the fire on their rift.
Her relationship with Mel B has famously been turbulent over the years, with tensions between the pair making it difficult for them to share the same space without conflict.
Geri, who is married to former racing driver Christian Horner, stepped back into the spotlight at the sporting event along with her two children, eight-year-old son, Monty, and 19-year-old daughter, Bluebell.
The race itself wasn’t short on drama due to the heavy rainfall, which caused a fair amount of chaos on the track.
Geri continued to snub Mel B online while many other celebrities rushed to send Mel B congratulatory messages on social media, including Heidi Klum, Paloma Faith and Kerry Katona.
Fans hoping for a full Spice Girls reunion were left disappointed, as only Emma Bunton, 49, was seen at the celebration. Baby Spice looked effortlessly chic in a blush pink dress, complemented by a matching hat and sparkling silver heels.
Victoria Beckham, who was noticeably absent from the celebrations, took to Instagram to mark Mel’s big day. Sharing a glamorous throwback photo of the pair, she wrote: “Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx.”
Mel C, who was also unable to attend the wedding, sent her well-wishes on social media. Sharing a joyful photo of the newlyweds, she wrote: “So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn’t be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon. Yipee!”
The beautiful wedding marks the third marriage for 50-year-old Mel B. She married 37-year-old hairstylist Rory McPhee, following her divorce from Jimmy Gulzar and Stephen Belafonte.
Last year she said of Rory: “When I went back to England, he would come over and give me hair treatments… and as he was nurturing my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship.”
Rory popped the question in October 2022 at the Cliveden Hotel in Berkshire, after decking the room in flowers and going down on one knee. Being awarded an MBE in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women meant the star was able to tie the knot at St Paul’s.
