My favorite Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell-Horner, welcomed a baby boy into the world on Saturday. Geri announced the birth of her son, Montague George Hector Horner, with a touching black and white photo on Instagram. (The baby’s middle name is a tribute to Geri’s dear friend, the late George Michael.) Geri also has a 10-year-old daughter, the equally eccentrically-named Bluebell Madonna. The proud mama captioned the snap “Montague George Hector Horner arrived this morning, a beautiful little brother for Bluebell and Olivia #amazing-day #grateful #monty.” Olivia is hubby Horner’s three-year-daughter from a prior relationship.
The 44-year-old singer, children’s book author and TV hostess also shared the news on Twitter, announcing, “Christian and I are delighted to announce our baby boy was born this morning weighing 7lbs 8oz.” Fun fact: Montague (let’s hope, for his sake, he goes by Monty when he starts school) shares a birthday with Geri’s BFF Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton, who just celebrated birthday #41. (Feel old yet?) Geri instagrammed a throwback photo with Emma from the set of the video “Say You’ll Be There.”
I have made it no secret how much I adore Geri, and I’m so happy for her and Christian. Hopefully, the new arrival will inspire more music – and the Spice Girls reunion I’m still hoping against hope for! Congrats to the happy family!

Ahh there we go. That solved our confusion the other day about her “October” due date!
Congrats to the fam
Holy Botox, Batman, will you have a look at that forehead!
That is quite a name.
Montague? Bluebell? Why do celebrities hate their children?
beautiful tribute. congrats!
Monty Horner? Good luck kid.
Hope he stay around for this kid longer than he did the last one.
I cringe when I hear some of the ridiculous names famous people give their kids!
So happy for them! Geri is legit one of my first idols. Girl power forever! She is going to raise an amazing young man.
Of course my least favorite Spice Girl – the neoliberal anti-feminist right winger (really, read her statements on why she is against feminism) who adored Margaret Thatcher – would name her son Montague. Bless him, what a name.
