Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner has had immense success in the field of motorsports. The Briton finally became successful in steering his team to their first F1 World Championship victory since 2013 as their marquee driver Max Verstappen attained his second World title in 2022. And while Horner is living a career-high moment right now, fans have wondered how his personal life might be. The RBR Chief is the proud husband of Geri Horner, whom people might know better as Geri Halliwell of Spice Girls fame.
Every pop culture fanatic in the world has gotten enough knowledge about Spice Girls–the British girl group which took its origin from London in the 1990s, with each member of the band bearing a peculiar, yet legendary name. For Geri Horner, it is ‘Ginger Spice’. Geri Horner, 50, had missed the first round of auditions for joining Spice Girls, but she somehow pursuaded the band managers to let her go for the second one. And from then on, it is history.
Even though Geri Horner and the other Spice Girls had parted ways as the band had gone on a hiatus, they made a comeback in 2018, sans Victoria Beckham. But Geri Horner has kept herself busy with several other jobs apart from her music career. She is spotted at the paddocks regularly, and is a successful author as well.
