A wave of intimate messages allegedly sent by Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has left his wife, Geri Halliwell, feeling deeply embarrassed.

As a doting wife, the former Spice Girls singer supported him throughout the investigation into allegations of questionable behavior towards a female staff member.
Hours after receiving clearance from management, Horner plunges into trouble as the texts are exposed to the public eye. The inquiry had caused a strain in his relationship with his second wife, Halliwell. The vindication initially brought relief to Halliwell, who hoped to move forward from the ordeal.
Unfortunately, their lives were thrust back into turmoil when hundreds of purported WhatsApp exchanges were made public.

A source revealed to the media, “She thought that it had all gone away, she was delighted and over the moon when she learned Christian had been cleared. Geri was pilloried when she got together with Christian because he had just had another baby with another woman…Now it has all come crashing down.”
As far as the reports go, Halliwell is supposedly “mortified and angry” due to the misbehavior of her husband. It comes as a contrast as she was the one who supported Horner through the extensive inquiry. The couple, regular attendees at race weekends, has been an ideal couple for many. However, the recent developments seem to have led to a divide between the celebrated couple.
Marriage in question for Halliwell and Horner?
Right after the messages got leaked, Christian Horner defended himself as he said, “I won’t comment on anonymous speculation, but to reiterate, I have always denied the allegations. I respected the integrity of the independent investigation and fully cooperated with it every step of the way. It was a thorough and fair investigation conducted by an independent specialist barrister…”

Despite her distress, the former singer intends to fulfill her duties as a companion and is committed to keeping her family intact.
