Victoria Beckham penned a sweet message to Geri Horner on Friday evening, as the former Spice Girls bandmates attended the closing performance of Cruz Beckham’s band, The Breakers, at Hackney’s Courtyard Theatre.

The duo coordinated in matching white T-shirts and smiled for photos shared on social media, with Sir David Beckham also appearing alongside them at the intimate gig.

Lady Victoria later posted images from the night on Instagram, capturing a warm moment with her longtime friend, despite online sleuths claiming the bandmates were at loggerheads.

Her caption read: "Last night! @cruzbeckham @itsthebreakers. Love you @gerihalliwellhorner."

The affectionate message comes as fans face disappointment following the collapse of the Spice Girls’ planned 30th anniversary reunion and speculation about internal tensions within the band.

Ms Beckham, Ms Horner, Mel C, Mel B, and Emma Bunton had been in talks to mark three decades since Wannabe topped the charts, but the proposed celebrations ultimately failed to come to fruition.

Sources say Ms Horner travelled to Miami to meet former manager Simon Fuller in a bid to secure a deal, but no agreement was reached.

It has also been reported that the band members were unable to align their schedules for the reunion.

Instead, the milestone will now be marked with a commemorative coin released by the Royal Mint.

Mel C confirmed the news during an appearance on The Smallzy Show on Australia’s KIIS Radio, stating: "No, there is no reunion."

Despite this, she emphasised that the group remains close, adding: "We are communicating all the time. We want to do something - who knows when."

She also said she remains "very optimistic" that the Spice Girls will reunite at some point.

Plans for a Netflix drama based on the group were also reportedly shelved last month, amid the claims of internal tensions.

Ms Beckham had previously sparked speculation about a possible Las Vegas Sphere residency, saying in October: "How good would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere?

"I love the idea of it. I mean, I don't know if I could even still sing, I mean, I was never that great!"

However, she has acknowledged that her fashion commitments would make a large-scale tour difficult.

The group last performed together as a five-piece during the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.

Four members reunited without Victoria in 2019 for a UK and Ireland stadium tour, which sold around 700,000 tickets and saw each performer earn £4.4 million.

The tribute to Ms Horner comes amid a bitter family rift involving the Beckham family.

The couple’s eldest son, Brooklyn, is currently estranged from his famous family and lives in the United States with his wife, billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz.

The feud erupted in early 2026 when Brooklyn shared a series of Instagram posts accusing Sir David and Lady Victoria of being "controlling" and prioritising "Brand Beckham" over family, while allegedly undermining his marriage.

He also claimed his mother "hijacked" their wedding dance, dropped plans to make Ms Peltz's dress, and that his parents attempted to pressure him over rights to his name.

Brooklyn has since ruled out reconciliation, with reports suggesting family members have been blocked on social media.

Cruz appeared visibly emotional during a performance at the Courtyard Theatre, struggling through an unreleased track titled Loneliest Boy, which fans believe references the ongoing rift with his older brother.

The 21-year-old was comforted on stage by a bandmate as he wiped his face mid-song, delivering lyrics that reference a "broken" mother and strained family ties.

The performance formed part of The Breakers’ UK tour, with Sir David and Lady Victoria in attendance alongside Romeo Beckham.

Despite the tensions, Cruz recently praised his parents’ support, saying they have been "very honest" and "unconditionally" encouraging as he continues to build his music career.
