Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 16:38 · Archive

Christian Horner has described how his wife Geri Halliwell responded after allegations of inappropriate behaviour were made against him in 2024.

Christian Horner, the long-serving Red Bull Racing team principal and CEO, has described in his new book Drive how he broke the news to his wife Geri Halliwell about allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against him by a female colleague in 2024. He said he received a call from a lawyer explaining the situation and waited until their son was at school before telling his wife.

Horner said he found Halliwell in the kitchen getting the family ready for school. 'When everyone had been packed off for the day, I walked downstairs and broke the news,' he wrote. He said Halliwell immediately sensed something was wrong, asking 'What's up?' as he repeated what the lawyer had said. 'We both understood the implications immediately,' he added.

The former Spice Girl stood by her husband throughout the ordeal. Horner described Halliwell's composure as 'remarkable' and said that when he returned home and told her about his concerns, 'she reassured me that everything would be all right.' Following an internal investigation, Horner was exonerated of the allegations, though alleged messages were leaked publicly after the case was closed. Horner was dismissed from his role in July 2025.
