Geri Halliwell-Horner marked her 54th birthday with a special moment as Meryl Streep sang to her. The Spice Girls star, who has joined the cast of Only Murders In The Building for its sixth season set in London, shared a video of Streep hugging her and singing a rendition of Happy Birthday before a kiss on the cheek.
A Birthday to Remember
Halliwell-Horner captioned the video: “The best birthday present ever. Spending my birthday with the extraordinary Meryl Streep was a moment I’ll always treasure. Thank you @OnlyMurdersHulu for making it so special.”
She also received birthday messages from her fellow Spice Girls: Victoria Beckham, Melanie Chisholm, Melanie Brown, and Emma Bunton.
Family and Co-Stars Celebrate
Her husband, Christian Horner, shared a selfie with a heartfelt message: “Happy Birthday @GeriHalliwellHorner. Have an amazing day and another lap around the sun. We all love you very much x.”
In the upcoming season, Halliwell-Horner appears alongside newcomers Simone Ashley, Jennifer Saunders, and Sir Derek Jacobi. The plot follows Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles (Steve Martin), and Oliver (Martin Short) as they investigate the death of true crime podcaster Cinda Channing (Tina Fey). Streep reprises her role as Oliver’s wife, Loretta Durkin.
Spice Girls Legacy
Halliwell-Horner rose to fame with the Spice Girls after their debut single “Wannabe” in 1996. She left the group in 1998, citing “differences between us,” and the group announced an indefinite hiatus in December 2000. They reunited for the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony and the 2019 Spice World tour.
