There was one fairly awkward moment when Geri Horner was interviewed for a big newspaper recently.
She had to rely on a pre-written list of ‘all the fun things’ she does with her husband Christian Horner when questioned about their relationship during the bonkers chat.
The Spice Girl, 52, had clearly had to put some extra thought into what she would answer Sunday Times journalist Vᴀssi Chamberlain when the subject of how her partner spend their quality time – perhaps in order to avoid being tripped up.
The interview saw Geri dart between various subjects in the aftermath of Formula One Red Bull boss Christian being caught up in an alleged Sєxting scandal which nearly cost him his job. He was cleared of any wrongdoing.
But Geri’s interview suggested that things are harmonious at home as she detailed sharing a bed with her partner and watching Netflix series together.
The singer described their relationship as ‘silly’ and revealed that their perfect date night together would be cooking together at home.

Times interviewer Vᴀssi described in his piece how when asked about Christian and their time together she said: ‘I’ve made some notes…
‘So these are the fun things we do — we walk the dogs together, we like walking. I bought him a goldendoodle for his birthday.
‘I hid the puppy in a phone box and handed it to him. We’re very much old-school and family focused. He loves doing barbecues – it’s a real man thing. He’s very tidy. I might leave things around, which makes him a bit cross.’
She added that they will watch TV series together and that they play games too, adding: ‘We’re quite silly!’
During the chat she also told how she had been friends with Christian long before they started dating – describing an old picture of them on the racetrack together after she had been invited to the event by Bernie Ecclestone.
During the interview she also gave a glimpse at her daily routine – revealing she spends around three hours a day writing.
She has previously published two autobiographies, as well as a series of children’s novels about nine-year-old Ugenia Lavender.
Geri has previously revealed she took writing advice from the twice Booker prize-nominated novelist William Boyd and the bestselling children’s author Jacqueline Wilson for her books.

During the interview she also addressed speculation that she has legally changed her surname following her husband Christian’s highly-publicised Sєxting scandal.

She spoke on the reports that she has altered her surname from Horner to Halliwell-Horner, after the Formula One Red Bull boss was caught up in a media storm surrounding his conduct at work.
Holding up her book, the author confirmed: ‘That’s a load of c**p. It’s my writing name. I haven’t legally changed anything — Horner is the name on my pᴀssport.’
Elsewhere in the interview, she revealed that Christian has adopted her daughter Bluebell, which had previously not been reported on.
Geri welcomed her oldest child Bluebell, 18, during a short-lived relationship with Sacha Gervasi, a journalist turned screenwriter and director.
The teenager is currently studying English literature and Geri gushed she is a ‘brilliant writer’ who she sometimes ‘runs thing past’ when she writes her own books.
Asked whether Bluebell gets her writing skills from her dad, Geri explained that Christian has officially adopted her daughter.

She said: ‘Her biological father, yes. Christian formally adopted her. It’s public knowledge.’
Christian and Geri also share son, Monty, eight, and Christian’s daughter, Olivia, eleven, from his previous relationship with Beverley Allen, a former pub landlady.
Christian was accused of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ by a female colleague at the start of February 2024 and the tranche of WhatsApp messages allegedly between him and the woman were leaked to the media, including 149 Formula 1 figures.
Geri staunchly stood by his side but the scandal was a difficult time for the couple, but later Christian was cleared of any wrongdoing after a three-week inquiry conducted by an external lawyer for the F1 team’s parent company Red Bull GmbH.
