What did Geri expect marrying a man like F1’s Horner?
FASHION pundits declare ‘the end of the bra’ after Saint Laurent’s collection showcases skeletal models in diaphanous dresses. Rubbish. Size zero models are not burdened with real mum bosoms in need of a supportive bra.
WHEn ex-Spice girl geri Halliwell first got together with the multi-millionaire Formula 1 boss Christian Horner nearly a decade ago, she described him as ‘her prince, her knight in shining armour’.
With his £41 million fortune and an £ 8 million- a- year salary, he catapulted the washed-up, single mumofone pop star into a world of unimaginable riches.
Two sprawling country estates, another lavish north London home and flights across the world so she could always be at his side in the billionaire playground of the F1 circuit.
Her fairy-tale lifestyle as Mrs geri Horner was pure gold; it came to personify the Spice girls’ hit Viva Forever — ‘Forever i’ll be waiting, everlasting, like the sun.’
Well, the sun may now be setting on their romance.
Because just 24 hours after Horner was cleared this week of ‘coercive behaviour’ at work, WhatsApp messages of a sexual nature, allegedly between him and an unknown colleague, were leaked anonymously to his F1 bosses.
Should geri really be surprised? Let’s not forget, after all, that when she embarked on her relationship with Christian, he had just dumped another poor woman even though
she had given birth to their child just six months earlier.
His parents were so disgusted by their son’s betrayal that they refused to attend his lavish wedding to geri.
geri, meanwhile, created a gilded image of their life — sharing their mansions with their children — in glossy celebrity magazine Hello!. it appeared to be the most happy family.
These WhatsApp ‘ sexts’ seem to tell a different story.
Surely geri should have been wise enough to realise that Christian was always going to be a someone who could tire of her and look for other attractions. if a man leaves his partner six months after she’s given birth to their child, why would you imagine he’d remain loyal to you? Maybe she thought, in her arrogance, it could never happen to her.
But a leopard never changes his spots. now her husband appears to have cheated on geri.
And the golden life she thought he’d given her could be tarnished beyond repair.
