Geri Halliwell was by Christian Horner's side at the first two races of the season.

Geri Halliwell reportedly has no plans to fly out to Melbourne this week for the Australian Grand Prix.

The Spice Girl singer has been thrust into the spotlight due to the ongoing saga around her husband, Christian Horner.


Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing by the investigation from Red Bull, Horner has continued to face questions over his future with the team.

Halliwell has stuck by her husband throughout the process and was by his side for the first two races of the season in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

But The Sun claim Halliwell will not fly out to Melbourne for this weekend's Australian Grand Prix.

It's reported that the 51-year-old 'never intended to fly' to Australia and she 'won't be changing plans'.

The report adds that Halliwell 'remains 100 per cent behind' her husband despite her decision not to attend the third race of the season.

Halliwell doesn't usually attend every Grand Prix in a season and only visited six races in 2023.

Horner will undoubtedly faced more questions about the situation this week when he addresses the media.

The 50-year-old will not be in the official FIA team principal press conference on Friday with Fred Vasseur, Zak Brown, Peter Bayer and Alessandro Alunni Bravi lined up to appear.

Horner has repeatedly praised the support he's had from his wife throughout the process and feels now is the time to move on.

“My wife has been phenomenally supportive throughout this as have my family,” he said recently.

“It’s obviously been a very trying period. I’m married and have three children.

“When that intrusion includes your children and the scrutiny that is placed on my marriage, I’m very fortunate that I have a beautiful family and a very supportive wife. And I’m the only one that has been named in this.

“It’s very challenging, because when there’s children involved, when there’s families, parents involved, it’s not pretty.
