Emma Bunton makes rare appearance at Wimbledon after being only Spice Girl to attend Mel B’s wedding

Emma Bunton and her son Beau made a rare public appearance on Monday as they attended Wimbledon together.

The Spice Girls legend, 49, was all smiles as she walked arm-in-arm with her son before sitting in the crowds at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

Bunton was spotted in a floor-length button up dress, paired with silver heels and a pink Prada bag.

Like her son, 17, she wore a pair of large sunglasses to shield herself from the blaring British sunshine while Beau teamed his casual look with a simple bowler hat.

Her appearance comes days after she was the only Spice Girl to attend her bandmate Mel B’s lavish London wedding as she tied the knot to hairstylist Rory McPhee in London.

Both Mel C and Victoria Beckham sent public well-wishes to the star, 50, as they missed the wedding due to both being overseas.

Beckham, 51, shared a photo of the couple and wrote: “Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day!

“I couldn’t be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx.”

Mel C, 51, said she was “gutted” to miss the ceremony in her own tribute post. She couldn’t attend as she was performing at a music festival in Stockholm, Sweden.

“So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn’t be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee!” she said.

Geri Halliwell did not share any posts about the wedding, but has clearly been going through a difficult period in recent days.

Her husband Christian Horner was sacked from his team prinicipal role at Red Bull on Wednesday evening with immediate effect, ending a 20-year reign at the top of Formula 1.

Horner had been at the helm of Red Bull since the team’s arrival on the grid in 2005, leading the team to six constructors’ championships and eight drivers’ titles in that period.

Sky Sports in the UK aired a clip of Horner addressing the Red Bull team at its Milton Keynes base.

“Yesterday, I was informed by Red Bull that operationally I would no longer be involved with the business or the team moving forward,” Horner said. “I will still remain employed by the company, but, operationally the baton will be handed over.

“It came as a shock to myself. I’ve had a chance to reflect over the last 12 hours and wanted to stand in front of all of you to break this news and to express my gratitude to each and every single member of the team that has given so much during the last 20-and-a-half years.

“When I arrived 20 years ago, there were a few less grey hairs. I walked into a team and did not know what to expect but I was immediately welcomed and we started to build what became a powerhouse in F1.

“Watching and being part of this team, has been the biggest privilege of my life.”

Halliwell has always stood by his side across many challenges the couple have faced, but has yet to say anything about the decision.

Meanwhile, Mel B is set to hold another “more informal, sexy and beautiful” wedding celebration abroad.

It’s yet to be confirmed if any more of her Spice Girls bandmates will attend the second ceremony.
