Shortly after leaving the hotel, the groom’s party arrived at the church and posed for their official photos, standing in a line and looking rather jovial. Meanwhile, the celebrity guests piling into the church looked gorgeous too, but clearly not quite enough to upstage the blushing bride.
She had fourteen failed relationships and two engagements before she found everlasting love with her now-husband, Christian Horner. Finding the love of her life took a lot of failed relationships, and it probably became helpful along the way as Geri realized what she wants and does not want in a relationship. Though their love story might be smooth sailing, they had to go through family drama before they were even able to walk down the aisle. There was an issue with Horner’s ex, Beverly Allen, who gave birth to their child prior to the wedding.
After her high-energy gig, she headed right back to the sunny city, where she is working on an update of her autobiography. Bulgari’s latest branch “stems from the desire to be strongly represented in the world’s major metropolises,” says Francecso. “Moscow is for sure one such place, characterised by a very special flair.” The new shop is near a multi-storey Giorgio Armani boutique, and Prada recently opened a store in the Russian capital. In late 2004, Halliwell made a return to music with the single “Ride It”, which reached number four in the United Kingdom and number one on the dance chart. The second single, “Desire”, was released on 30 May 2005, reaching number 22 in the UK Singles Chart and number one on the UK Dance Chart.

As for Geri, she’s undergone something of, um, a cultural shift herself over the past 25 years, from outspoken pop rebel to self-styled lady of the manor, frequently seen in tweeds and pearls. For the Spice Girls’ 2008 reunion, the tea towel dress was reimagined in Swarovski crystals by Roberto Cavalli. For 2019’s stadium tour, she added a coat of arms and a crown. But it’s the dress that everyone remembers, and the dress that ended up as a kind of sartorial shorthand for years to come.
In October 2012, Halliwell made her first solo performance in seven years at the Breast Cancer Care, debuting a new track called “Phenomenal Woman”. In January 2013, Halliwell claimed that she had decided to shelve the album she had finished to continue writing and recording, moving in a different style direction. In 1999, one year after leaving the group, Halliwell launched her solo career and released her debut album Schizophonic, with the lead single “Look at Me”, produced by Absolute and Phil Bucknall. “Look at Me” was followed by further number ones at the UK Singles Chart, “Mi Chico Latino”, “Lift Me Up” and “Bag It Up”.

It included her cover version of the Weather Girls’ 1983 hit, “It’s Raining Men”, was also used on the Bridget Jones’s Diary film soundtrack and the video game DDRMAX2 Dance Dance Revolution 7thMix. “Its Raining Men” became a major hit worldwide, it peaked at number one in the United Kingdom and peaked in the top 10 in over 27 countries, becoming Halliwell’s biggest hit to date. The song won her the International Song of the Year award at the 2002 NRJ Music Awards. The singles that followed, “Scream If You Wanna Go Faster” and “Calling”, reached number eight and number seven in the United Kingdom, respectively. Halliwell released a special French edition of “Calling”, titled “Au Nom de L’amour”. In 2002 Halliwell was once again nominated at the BRIT Awards, this time for Best British Female Solo Artist and Best British Single for “It’s Raining Men”.
A pop group was formed that included Melanie Chisholm, Melanie Brown , Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham (née Adams), and Halliwell was made. She was engaged to Fabrizio Politi from 2008 to 2009 but the couple never made it to the altar. In 2012, she was reported to be dating Russell Brand (Aug – Sept) and later Anton Kaszubowski. Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm became one of the most successful pop outfits in history after they rose to fame in 1996 with the single Wannabe.

In 2006, Italian designer Roberto Cavalli made Halliwell an updated Union Jack frock, complete with rhinestones and Swarovski crystals, for the Spice Girls’ first reunion tour. Six years later, the singer herself launched a collection of flag-themed clothing via the fast-fashion retailer Next, though it quickly disappeared from sight. Though the couple has more than one luxury home, they are currently enjoying most of their time staying at their own farm.
