Spice Girl icon, Geri Halliwell-Horner has got a new name and new a career plan, according to reports.
After 10 years of being Geri Horner following her marriage to Red Bull boss Christian Horner, 51, the artist formerly known as Ginger Spice, 52, has brought back her maiden name and double-barrelled her surname.
The move comes just over a year after the mum-of-two's husband, Christian, was accused - and subsequently cleared - over an alleged sexting scandal, which nearly cost him his job.
The Red Bull boss was accused of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ by a female colleague at the start of February 2024 before a glut of WhatsApp messages allegedly between him and the woman were leaked to the media, including 149 Formula 1 figures.

Geri stood by her man and put a public show of affection with the multi-millionaire when Christian was cleared after a three-week inquiry conducted by an external lawyer for the F1 team’s parent company Red Bull GmbH.
However, the scandal understandably put pressure on the couple, with Geri now said to be ready for a huge change to her career. The Mail reports that there are ongoing conversations between London-based television company Blast Films and some of the world’s biggest streaming giants for a fly-on-the-wall documentary featuring the Watford-born star.
Industry sources say the firm has pitched a lifestyle reality show to Amazon and Netflix that apparently has similarities to Meghan's widely-panned series With Love, Meghan.
One said: "It could end up being a real bidding war situation as Geri is fascinating. By the sounds of it the show would very much suit Geri’s new reinvention as a well-heeled, upmarket lady. It all feels very Meghan so let’s see how it all pans out. People are really starting to chatter about it now and there is real hope that it could happen."
Geri’s PR didn’t respond to the Mail when asked for comment on Friday, while last week sources close to the star told the outlet she was not in talks to do a reality show. The Mirror has contacted Geri's reps for comment.
Next month the Wannabe star is hopping across the pond to promote her Rosie Frost children's books. Geri recently took to Instagram to announce her plans to her 1.4 million followers with a list of the venues she'll be visiting in April to promote the popular adventure series. Geri's first stop is New York, followed by Philadelphia, St. Louis, Atlanta and Miami.
She was also papped at Cheltenham Festival this week, looking gorgeous in a staple all-white ensemble. Sporting a floor-length cream coat and caramel-coloured Fedora hat, the star, who attended the event without her husband, flashed a huge grin for the cameras as she stepped out in style.
