Geri Halliwell is better known as Ginger Spice. She was the fiery redhead in The Spice Girls. Known for her ginger tresses and her towering platform boots, her Union Jack bodysuit and her fearless attitude, she was/is rumored to have a feud with "Scary Spice" (Mel B.), who is also a bold and confident lady!

Geri bailed on the Spice Girls on Scary Spice's b-day! Was Geri sending some kind of message? Many thought that she was throwing shade...

These days, Geri is enjoying domestic bliss with her husband and kids. She seems really happy. She married a Formula One auto racing team boss named Christian Horner. He's from England and he's very successful...and pretty famous in his own right. He's also very handsome.

She spends a lot of time baking, taking care of the kids and building a successful career as a TV host. Her Instagram feed shows a person who enjoys a great lifestyle and has plenty of love and joy in her life.

Lately, there's been quite a bit of talk about a Spice Girls reunion, so Geri is on people's minds. Plus, she has tons of devoted fans, who have stuck with her since the glory days of her "Girl Power" pop band.

Geri has a strong personality. She's a woman who stands out. If you're curious about her life and what's she's been up to lately, you'll enjoy this list. I'm here to share fifteen things that you might not know about Ginger Spice.

15 She’s Been Branded A Homewrecker

Geri got a lot of bad press when she got together with F1 Red Bull team boss, Christian Horner. Rumors in Formula One auto racing circles were that she set her heart on being with Christian and began to show up at a lot of races, even though Christian had a partner.

Geri even photobombed his shots with other F1 bigwigs.

In some of those early shots, he looked a little uncomfortable posing with Geri. That's probably because he was in a long-term relationship with another woman, named Beverley.

Beverley lost the race when Christian left her six months after she gave birth to his daughter. Not that it's not for the best. She deserves better than someone who's so uncommitted to her.

All of this drama triggered a huge scandal in England and lots of people looked down on Geri for the part that she played in breaking up a family.

Since there was a new baby involved, it was a little bit shady.

Now, Christian and Geri have tied the knot and they have a little baby boy named Montague. They call him Monty. It has to be said that Christian seems very happy with Geri and vice versa.

Beverley must have suffered a lot when Christian and Geri went public with their relationship. Geri doesn't do anything halfway, so there were millions of shots of her hanging onto her new man with a big, smug grin on her face, not to mention the massive, fairy-tale style wedding.

14 Her New In-laws Boycotted The Wedding

Geri got together with a guy who had been in a relationship with another woman, named Beverley, for fourteen years. Geri's new man, Christian Horner, had just become a father with Beverley.

Since Christian's family was close to Beverley, they took Bev's side when the scandal broke. They refused to go to Geri and Christian's wedding, which happened in 2015. This is probably because there was a new baby involved.

Apparently, Geri's now trying to mend fences with her in-laws and even wants to mend fences with Beverley. While Geri may succeed in charming Christian's parents at some point, she probably won't make much headway in terms of charming Christian's ex-partner, whose life was blown apart by Geri and Christian's affair...right after she had a baby!

Maybe she should just leave Beverley alone.

According to reports, Geri is tired of being described as a homewrecker. That's probably the main reason why she wants to befriend Beverley. I don't see that going very well.

13 She Freaked Out Her Ex-Boyfriend, Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams is a wild British music star who's not afraid to speak his mind. He has often spoken out about his romance with Ginger Spice. I read an interview where he said that Geri's craziness was really appealing at first, but then became a problem. I'm not quoting him verbatim, but he talked about the way that Geri grew more and more demanding over time.

He also mentioned that she used to give tea parties with her dolls and then sit and talk to the dolls. Apparently, this really creeped him out.

He said her voice became, "psychotic".

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Geri is known for being super-intense. She's dated guys and most of her relationships have failed, perhaps because she wants so much meaning and intensity all of the time. She's into self-help books, yoga and fad diets. She's always embracing something new and expecting the people around her to love what she's into.

Other famous exes of Ginger Spice include Russell Brand, who is Katy Perry's ex-husband and British comedian, Chris Evans, who is not the "Captain America" Chris Evans.

12 She Had A Crush On George Michael

George Michael had such a beautiful voice, didn't he? I remember him singing an Elton John song (Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me) live and getting goosebumps because he was just so incredibly talented.

While I'm not really into pop music, including the Spice Girls, I can appreciate that the late Wham! singer was immensely gifted.

Geri was a huge fan of his in her pre-Spice Girls days and she seemed to have quite a crush on him. She saw him live once when she was a young woman and he singled her out in the crowd.

After that, her love for him went into overdrive.

When she became famous, she got to know her idol. They say, "don't meet your idols", but Geri adored George and he clearly thought she was amazing, too. Geri remembers being disappointed when George Michael mentioned his boyfriend for the first time. She didn't know that he was gay and her romantic hopes were dashed.

Geri and George became very close and she wrote a song for him after his passing, as a tribute. It's called, Angels in Chains.

11 Geri Suffered From Bulimia

Geri wasn’t the thinnest Spice Girl and she heard a lot of commentary about her weight from the media and fans. This led her to binge and purge. She said that Robbie Williams helped her to get proper treatment.

Geri's curvy, Spice Girls-era body was pretty amazing, but showbiz is all about thinness, or so it seems. Almost every curvy female star has to hear a lot of mean things about her body.

To cope with the criticism, Geri started to throw up after she ate. Princess Diana went through the same thing.

When I look at Geri's Spice Girls photos, I see a healthy woman who's stunning. These days, Geri is still gorgeous, but a lot slimmer. However, she says that her eating disorder is behind her. She's often baking on Instagram and I hope that she indulges in at least some of what she makes.

It's not hard to sympathize with a woman who had a normal body and was told that her healthy, beautiful body just wasn't good enough.

People need to be careful about body shaming because it can trigger serious eating disorders.

10 She Has Two Baby Daddies

Geri has two children. Her daughter, Bluebell, is so cute and Bluebell is now eleven. Geri also has a baby son, Montague (Monty), who's just a little over one year old.

Bluebell is a sweetie. Geri posted a note from Bluebell on her Instagram. The note said that Bluebell made Geri lunch because Geri had been so tired lately and her daughter wanted to do something nice for her. Bluebell's baby brother had been teething and Geri wasn't getting much sleep. The note was accompanied by a nice, homemade lunch.

Bluebell's Dad is Alexander Sacha Simon Gervais. He's a journalist and a screenwriter. His work has won awards. He's British, like Geri.

Montague's Dad is Christian Horner, who is married to Geri. Christian runs the Red Bull Formula One team.

9 She’s A Leo

Bold and confident, Geri never shies away from the spotlight. She's really a typical Leo with her great big smile, mane of golden-reddish hair and round eyes. Leos often have a feline look. They also have a love for fame and the desire to shine in the eyes of...well, everyone.

Leos are fun people, but can be exhausting. Madonna would be a good example of an exhausting Leo! Leos have an endless need for praise and this need drives them into showbiz or other careers where they are able to get attention as they also make money.

Geri has a Cancer moon sign, which makes her a very maternal Leo, who's maybe more emotional, sensitive and domestic than many other Leos.

A lot of people have said that Geri is an amazing mother to Bluebell.

If you're curious about astrology, be sure to look up your moon sign online. It's an important part of your natal chart.

8 She Says There Are No Plans for A Spice Girls Reunion Tour

There’s lots of gossip about a Spice Girls reunion tour lately, but Geri says it’s just talk. This is disappointing news for Spice Girls fans, who want to see the mature version of this uber-famous girl pop band onstage.

A reunion tour would drive the fans wild. I didn't grow up with the Spice Girls. I'm just too old, but maybe I would have loved them if I was younger. They obviously have a huge impact, but Geri says that it's hard to get all of them to agree to things, even though they are all "really nice people".

There have been plenty of rumors of conflicts within the band. Geri did leave the Spice Girls under a cloud of controversy. Will she ever come back and give the fans what they really, really want?

7 Mel B Didn’t Make It To Geri’s Wedding

Maybe one of the reasons why there's no Spice Girls reunion tour happening (according to Geri, anyway) is because there is bad blood between Mel. B (Scary Spice) and Geri (Ginger Spice). These two have been rumored to have had their differences.

Mel B., like Geri, has had some turbulent relationships. She's been in the news because of trouble with exes, including ex-hubby, Jimmy Gulzar. Jimmy is Dutch and he gave up on showbiz after his acrimonious split from Scary Spice.

He said she's more into herself than her own kids.

Emma Bunton attended Geri's wedding, wearing a cute little "fascinator" hat shaped like a heart. However, Mel B had “prior commitments”. Is that a polite way of saying, "I'd rather eat glass than watch you get married?"

6 She Left The Spice Girls On Mel B’s Birthday

There were plenty of rumors of a feud between Ginger Spice and Scary Spice. Maybe it’s true, because Geri bailed on the Spice Girls on Scary Spice’s b-day. This seems like too much of a coincidence. It seems like something which was done intentionally, to make Scary Spice understand that she was a big reason why Geri left the group.

Most groups have conflicts. So many great bands have trouble keeping it together. They have huge success, but can't stand being around each other. Sometimes, money problems break bands up. However, in the case of the Spice Girls, they probably all got paid the same. So, it might be logical to assume that Ginger and Scary just don't get along.

Mel B. said she and Geri fought "like cats and dogs". Mel C. says she used to clash with Victoria (Posh Spice). Probably, a lot of issues led Geri to leave the band, but Scary Spice may have been one of the biggest factors.

5 She Made An Awkward Entrance At The Brit Awards

This is like something Madonna would do. Leo women definitely like to celebrate female power! Also, they like to shock, because shocking people is one surefire way to getting and keeping their attention.

People who watched Ginger Spice emerge from between a massive, inflatable pair of female legs will never forget the spectacle. It takes a certain kind of confidence to do this type of stagecraft.

Most people would just be too embarrassed.

The Spice Girls were all about girl power. Victoria (Posh Spice) has gone on to become a very good fashion designer. She's seriously talented. Baby Spice has two kids with a long-term partner and appears on reality TV shows.

Geri also does TV and has two kids, although I wouldn't call her current partner, long-term...not yet.

Scary Spice has three kids, does reality TV and got a restraining order against a woman who had an affair with her ex-husband, Stephen Belafonte.

Mel C., who always seemed nice and down to earth, battled depression and an eating disorder after years of over-exercising and under-eating. Now, she's healed herself and is a mom, as well as a successful solo artist.

4 She Showed Off Her Spice Doll Collection On Instagram

Geri keeps her collection of cute Spice Girls dolls in her bathroom. She posted an Instagram shot of a bathroom-based workout (yes, it's strange to work out in a bathroom, but imagine how much bigger and better her bathroom is than your own, and it'll make more sense). The dolls were in their boxes in the background. The fans loved seeing them. Most of them have some of these dolls, too. The Spice Girls dolls are pretty cute.

My best doll was a Superstar Barbie. It will ginormous, with a silver, sparkly dress (a bit sleazy, as it happens), "diamond earrings" and delicate, high-heeled shoes. Oh, how I loved that huge and tacky doll.

I didn't keep my Barbies. I had a Wonder Woman doll, but the foot fell off, so I whined to my parents for another one. They bought a second Wonder Woman (she was gorgeous) and the foot fell off again. I wasn't allowed to get another one and that really hurt. I've looked for that doll on eBay.

3 She Calls Herself Mama Spice Now

Geri seems very connected to her adorable daughter, Bluebell, and Bluebell is clearly devoted to her mommy. From all reports, Geri loves motherhood and she's doing a good job.

While Bluebell has had to adjust to being in a new family with Geri's new hubby, Christian, she's apparently big-hearted and has adjusted really well.

I think Geri will be a great Mom to Monty, too. He's already going to auto races and his Dad seems to dote on him.

These days, Geri prefers to be called, "Mama Spice". It seems like being a Mom is what has made her happiest and that's pretty easy to understand. Geri may not have more kids, but she treasures the two that she has.

2 Geri Seems Really Happy With Her New Life

Geri posts quite a bit on Instagram and her life looks pretty good to me. Of course, Instagram isn't real. People tend to post the sunny sides of their lives and not talk too much about the downside. There is always a downside.

In typical Leo fashion, Geri accentuates the positive, not that there's anything wrong with that. She posts about baking, about hanging out with loved ones and buddies, about exercise and work and events. She's busy, interesting and interested. She's out there doing all kinds of stuff, but also doing domestic stuff that we all do, like making meals and chilling out in front of the TV.

Geri actually goes by the name, Geri Horner, now. If you want to see what she's up to, check out her verified Instagram account.

1 She Battled With Posh Spice For Control Of The Band

Posh has created a fashion empire. I'm honestly impressed by how good she is at fashion design. It's great that her Spice Girls career gave her the momentum to move into fashion design, because she really cares about it.

I've always thought Posh had great personal style and a good personality, too. Her marriage to megabucks soccer god and pretty boy, David Beckham, plus her own personal wealth, meant that she didn't have to do anything but paint her nails and read Vanity Fair for the rest of her life. She chose to do something that mattered to her and she's very successful.

Since Posh is entrepreneurial, she wanted to control the band. She's got the executive ability. Apparently, she and Ginger Spice fought for #girlboss status.

Geri is strong, too, and smart, so it's easy to see how these two would play tug of war for control of the Spice Girls.
