A Mini Spice Girls Reunion on Victoria Beckham’s Birthday
Fans were thrilled in April 2024 when the Spice Girls reunited at Victoria Beckham’s star-studded 50th birthday bash. Mel C joined Mel B, Geri Halliwell, and Emma Bunton to sing their hit “Stop,” while Victoria’s husband David Beckham captured the iconic moment.
“I mean come on x,” he wrote while tagging all five members. Victoria echoed the love: “Happy Birthday to me! I love you all so much! #SpiceUpYourLife.”
When David Beckham made an appearance on the May 8 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, he opened up about the surprise Spice Girls reunion at his wife Victoria’s birthday party.
“I didn’t expect them to all get up on stage, but I had a whole video planned where me and my kids recreated the ‘Mama’ video,” he shared. Instead, the Spice Girls ended up singing the hit themselves — a moment that clearly left him beaming with pride.
“I’m their biggest fan,” David admitted. “I tend to not tell my wife that, I tend to tell her that I fancied her … but she was a Spice Girl, so, you know? I love that about her.”
