Though the pair have seen a major lifestyle shakeup in recent months, Christian Horner and his wife, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell-Horner have continued to publicly declare their support and care for one another.
On Wednesday, the singer celebrated her 53rd birthday, prompting messages from all of her former bandmates, but most importantly from her devoted husband.
Taking to Instagram, the former Red Bull boss shared two pictures of his beaming wife, who was wearing her signature colour, white, in both snaps.
In the first, Geri looked beautiful in a long-sleeved white jumper, while Christian captioned the image: “Happy Birthday to my amazing wife [heart eyes emoji]”.

Geri and Christian’s changes at home
Just under a month ago, it was announced that Christian had been sacked from his position as the team principal for the Red Bull Formula 1 team, after 20 years of serving in the role.
Laurent Mekies, who was then the principal of sister team Racing Bulls, took over from Christian immediately.

Red Bull GmBH, the team’s parent company, cleared him of the claims twice, with the female complainant being suspended on full pay, and an appeal was also dismissed. Throughout the process, Christian denied all accusations.
A spokesperson for Red Bull GmBH released a statement at the time, which read: “The independent investigation into the allegations made against Mr Horner is complete, and Red Bull can confirm that the grievance has been dismissed.”

“The investigation report is confidential and contains the private information of the parties and third parties who assisted in the investigation, and therefore we will not be commenting further out of respect for all concerned. Red Bull will continue striving to meet the highest workplace standards.”
