Halliwell: 'Motherhood sealed bond with Beckham'
Geri Halliwell credits motherhood with inspiring her to heal her long-running rift with fellow Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.
Halliwell admits her friendship with Beckham suffered a huge blow when she walked out on the group in 1998, and their rocky relationship was blighted further when the style queen failed to invite her to her wedding to soccer superstar David in 1999.
But Halliwell insists she has once again grown close to the mum-of-three after the Spice Girls' recent reunion tour, because balancing the stresses of a pop career with motherhood has helped them to move past their previous conflicts.
She says: "I have huge admiration for Victoria. She had her boys with her the whole time (during the tour) and she's done such a great job with them - they are all so well mannered and caring.
"We are actually the biggest supporters of each other. We feel really proud of one another, particularly when you add this bond of motherhood."
Halliwell has a daughter, Bluebell Madonna, who turns two next month.
