Fans of the iconic Spice Girls might have reason to celebrate as Emma Bunton, aka Baby Spice, appears to be reaching out to former bandmate Geri Horner (née Halliwell) amid rumours of a rift between the two.
The 48-year-old pop star sent fans into a frenzy by sharing a nostalgic throwback photo of herself with Horner on social media, captioning it with a simple but telling red heart emoji.
Nostalgic throwback sparks reunion hopes
The black-and-white snap, believed to be from the height of Spice Girls mania in the late 90s, shows the duo looking glamorous in matching outfits - a signature style of the girl power pioneers.
This comes just weeks after reports surfaced suggesting tension between Horner and her former bandmates following her controversial appearance at the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with husband Christian Horner.
History of Spice Girls drama
The world's most famous girl group has seen its fair share of ups and downs since their 90s heyday:
- Geri's shock departure in 1998
- Multiple reunion tours without all five members
- Rumoured tensions during their 2019 reunion
Bunton's gesture has been interpreted by many as an olive branch, with fans flooding the comments section with hopes for a full Spice Girls reunion.
What the fans are saying
Social media has been alight with reactions to Bunton's post:
"Please tell me this means what I think it means!" wrote one excited fan.
"The Spice Girls healing the world one Instagram post at a time," joked another.
While neither star has commented further on the speculation, the timing is particularly intriguing as the group approaches the 30th anniversary of their formation next year.
