Below we take a look at how the relationship has different entertainment worlds colliding.

While the Spice Girls have reunited at times, Geri has a number of other interests now.
The group reunited for tours in 2007 and 2018. It is estimated that the Spice Girls made US$75 million per year at their peak in the late 1990s, and Geri reportedly had a net worth of US$40 million in 2018. She has also appeared on TV shows, such as Sex and the City, and as a guest judge on American Idol and The X Factor.She also has a business and writing empire

Enter F1 king, Christian Horner
In the late 1990s, Christian was a – ahem – wannabe F1 driver who realised he wouldn’t make it to the top circuit. So at 25, he retired from racing and moved into team management. Six years later, when Red Bull bought the Jaguar F1 team, they named Christian the youngest team principal – the fella in charge – in F1 history.

He is also one of the biggest stars of the Netflix docuseries Drive to Survive
When the Netflix docuseries Formula One: Drive to Survive launched in 2019, it introduced the crazy and glamorous world of F1 to a new audience and grew the sport’s popularity, especially in the United States. While other team principals were sceptical of the behind-the-scenes intrusion, Christian embraced it and immediately became one of the biggest stars, thanks to his bold and cheeky personality.
For some, Drive to Survive was an introduction to this sports-music power couple.
When Geri first appeared on Drive to Survive, many new F1 fans’ jaws dropped as they were first realising that she is married to Christian. It was almost too perfect that F1’s spiciest character was married to a Spice Girl.Christian was previously married to Beverley Allen
They were married for 14 years and have one daughter together. Geri had several high-profile relationships before Christian.

A spicy start to their relationship …
The couple’s relationship got off to a, dare we say, spicy start. They were first spotted dating in 2014 under eyebrow-raising circumstances. This was just a few months after Christian separated from Allen and only six months after the birth of their daughter.
But Geri and Christian had been seen together before. They were photographed arm in arm at an F1 race in 2011 with Christian looking somewhat uncomfortable.
Some also noted that the pair looked close a year before they became an official item.
According to British media, the couple were holding hands at a 2013 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, while Allen was six months pregnant at the time.

The pair announced their engagement nine months after first being seen dating. They tied the knot six months after that, in May of 2015 in St. Mary’s Church at Woburn in southern England.
Guests at the wedding included people from the entertainment world, such as Baby Spice, Emma Bunton. British singer Myleene Klass was also photographed at the wedding. There was also racing royalty, including Jackie Stewart. Former F1 drivers David Coulthard and Niki Lauda were also in attendance.
