Spice Girls fans are in a state of feverish excitement after Melanie Chisholm, aka Melanie C, dropped a massive hint that Victoria Beckham could be preparing to rejoin the iconic pop group. The speculation ignited following a charming social media post from Victoria's son, Cruz Beckham.
The Video That Started It All
The frenzy began on Wednesday, November 19, when Cruz Beckham, the 20-year-old aspiring musician, shared a video on his Instagram. The clip featured his mother, the 51-year-old fashion designer, singing along to the classic Spice Girls ballad Viva Forever while Cruz accompanied her on guitar. The intimate performance, showcasing Victoria's rarely-heard singing voice, immediately captivated followers.
It was the reaction from her former bandmates, however, that sent rumours into overdrive. Melanie C shared the video with the playful caption, “Love this, getting a head start on rehearsals.” Not to be outdone, Mel B quickly chimed in, adding, “It’s happening and remember it was all my idea.” These comments were interpreted by fans as a clear signal that a full-scale reunion involving all five original members is in the works.
Building Momentum for a 2026 Comeback
This social media buzz comes at a perfect time, with the Spice Girls' 30th anniversary fast approaching in 2026. The global phenomenon last performed as a complete five-piece at the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony. While Melanie B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton, and Geri Halliwell embarked on a successful stadium tour in 2019, Victoria Beckham notably opted out to concentrate on her burgeoning fashion and beauty empire.
Recently, however, Victoria has shown a change of heart. During an appearance on US radio station SiriusXM last month, she admitted she is “tempted” by the idea of performing with the girls again. She specifically mentioned the high-tech Sphere in Las Vegas as a potential venue, joking, “How good would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere! I love the idea of it.” This has led to widespread speculation about a potential Las Vegas residency, similar to acts like U2 and the Backstreet Boys.
Optimism Grows for a New Chapter
Melanie C has also publicly expressed her hope for the band's return. In an interview on Good Morning America, she stated, “I remain optimistic. It’s our 30th anniversary next year... I would like to get back on stage with the girls.” She clarified that the group is actively “talking and seeing what opportunities are out there,” but are being careful to ensure any project is the right fit for their cherished legacy.
With fan demand at an all-time high and the stars seemingly aligning, the dream of a full Spice Girls reunion with Posh Spice back in the lineup is feeling more possible than it has in over a decade.
