On Tuesday, Geri Horner turned heads with her effortlessly chic look as she arrived at The View, an upscale restaurant in New York City.
The 52-year-old former Spice Girl looked every bit the fashion icon, donning a cream trench coat and matching trousers.
Pairing the sophisticated ensemble with a crisp white shirt, pointed nude heels, and a brown crossbody bag, she kept her accessories minimal with dainty gold jewelry.
Beaming as she entered the venue, it was clear that Geri was in high spirits, especially with her latest accomplishment.
Geri’s New Novel Hits the Shelves
Geri’s latest literary work, Rosie Frost: Ice on Fire, was released just as she arrived at the restaurant.
This book, priced from £7.99, is the second installment in a trilogy that began with the 2023 bestseller Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen.
Although Geri is primarily known for her music career, she’s no stranger to the world of writing.
In fact, her memoir If Only, published in 1999, came out shortly after her departure from the Spice Girls, followed by a children’s book series called Ugenia Lavender in 2008.
A Potential Racy Novel on the Horizon
During the Cheltenham Literature Festival last year, Geri revealed that she has plans to write something far more daring next.
She shared her excitement for creating a racy novel, one similar to Fifty Shades of Grey. “I’d like to write something you wouldn’t want your children to read,” she laughed.
“You’d be like, ‘No, that’s too rude.’ I’d like to write something filthy.”
When pressed further about the nature of this book, she responded with a wink, “Got it.”
Geri Addresses Speculation About Name Change
Geri also took the opportunity to clear up some rumors surrounding her surname.
There had been speculation that she changed her last name from Horner to Halliwell-Horner after her husband Christian was involved in a public sexting scandal in 2024.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, she denied these reports, confirming that Horner is still the name on her passport.
She explained that any change to her surname was for writing purposes only, stating, “That’s a load of c**p. It’s my writing name.”
Christian’s Adoption of Geri’s Daughter Bluebell
In another heartfelt part of the interview, Geri shared some personal news about her family.
She revealed that Christian had formally adopted her daughter, Bluebell, 18, who she had with her former partner, screenwriter Sacha Gervasi.
Bluebell is currently studying English literature, and Geri couldn’t help but gush about her talent for writing.
“She’s a brilliant writer,” Geri shared, explaining that sometimes she runs things past Bluebell when working on her own books.
Family Life: Christian and Geri’s Harmonious Home
Despite the scandal that rocked Christian’s career last year, things appear to be going well in their personal life.
Geri revealed that they enjoy cozy nights together, sharing Netflix shows and cooking at home.
“Our relationship is so silly,” she said with a smile, highlighting how simple pleasures bring them closer.
Together, Geri and Christian share an eight-year-old son, Monty, and they also raise Christian’s daughter, Olivia, from his previous relationship.
The Sexting Scandal and Its Aftermath
Christian’s sexting scandal in early 2024 nearly cost him his job. The incident, involving inappropriate WhatsApp messages between him and a female colleague, was widely reported.
However, after an extensive three-week investigation by an external lawyer hired by Red Bull GmbH, Christian was cleared of any wrongdoing.
Throughout the ordeal, Geri stood firmly by her husband’s side, supporting him through what was undoubtedly a challenging time for their family.
A New Chapter for Geri and Christian
As Geri continues to focus on her writing and her family, it’s clear that she is finding happiness both personally and professionally.
Her latest book is just the beginning, and with her growing family and continued support for her husband, it seems that Geri Horner’s story is only getting more exciting.
