Back in 1996, the Spice Girls released “Mama,” a heartfelt, upbeat song dedicated to their mothers. Nowadays, the five members of the famed group have stepped into the role of moms themselves and are now matriarchs of their own families.
Since their heyday as Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham has welcomed four kids, Melanie “Mel B” Brown has had three, while Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell both have two kids each. Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm, who has been exceptionally private about her personal life, also has one daughter.
Below, see all the kids of the Spice Girls — from 26-year-old Brooklyn Beckham to nine-year-old Monty Horner.

In addition to morphing into a high fashion designer, Posh Spice, a.k.a Victoria Beckham became a mom of four children since her days rocking the stadiums. Victoria is mom to sons Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20 and daughter Harper Seven, 14, whom she welcomed with husband David Beckham.
Though always tight-knit, things between the Beckhams have taken a turn in recent years, with rumors of a feud between Brooklyn and his family members dating back to his 2022 wedding to wife Nicola Peltz Beckham.
After years of speculation, Brooklyn broke his silence in shocking, lengthy Instagram Stories, where he wrote in part, “My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.”
Brooklyn went on to describe several moments in which, he claims, his family attempted to sabotage his relationship, including during his 2022 wedding and at his father’s 50th birthday last year.
“For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into,” he wrote.
His parents and siblings have not commented, though they have been present at multiple family outings in recent months where Brooklyn was conspicuously absent.
Mel B’s Daughters: Phoenix, Angel and Madison

Mel B, a.k.a. Scary Spice, is a mom of three. The singer welcomed her first daughter, Phoenix Chi with Jimmy Gulzar in 1999, before welcoming Angel Iris, whom she shares with Eddie Murphy, in 2007. She later welcomed Madison, now 14, with ex-husband Stephen Belafonte.
And while she was in one of the most iconic girl groups of all time, it seems even Mel B has to work for some cool points with her kids. While on The Jennifer Hudson Show earlier this year, the America’s Got Talent judge revealed her girls don’t give much caché to her being a Spice Girl.
“I don’t think they care,” Mel B told Hudson. “I mean I was playing my music the other day before we went to see Hamilton, and I was like, ‘Hey kids, who do you think this is?’ And they were like, ‘I don’t know, is it Lady Gaga?’ I was like, ‘No.'”
Emma Bunton’s Kids: Beau Lee and Tate Jones

When she’s not running her baby care line Kit & Kin or authoring a parenting guide, Baby Spice Emma Bunton is just mommy to her two kids Beau Lee, 17, and Tate Jones, 14, whom she shares with husband Jade Jones.
Unlike her other bandmates, it seems as though Baby Spice’s sons sort of understand the magnitude of the Spice Girls. After watching the band (sans Victoria Beckham) reunite in 2019, Bunton said that the massive turnout shocked her sons, who had been half-anticipating an empty stadium.
“(The kids) said, ‘Wow, we thought we were coming to a gig with 100 people!'” Bunton told Today. “I think that was the first time they realized the hugeness of the Spice Girls.”
Geri Halliwell’s Kids: Bluebell Halliwell and Montague Horner

Much like Mel B, it seems Geri Halliwell has had a tough time convincing her teen daughter that she is cool.
“She thinks [the Spice Girls are] sort of vintage cool — vintage ’90s are back,” Halliwell told Scary Mommy last year. “Sometimes when her friends come around I go to her like, ‘But I’m a cool mom! I’m a cool mom!’ It’s classic Mean Girls.”
Halliwell, who went by Ginger Spice while in the famed group, shares 18-year-old daughter Bluebell Madonna with screenwriter Sacha Gervasi. She went on to welcome son Monty (full name Montague George Hector), now 9, with her current husband, Christian Horner, who also has a 12-year-old daughter named Olivia from a previous relationship.
Mel C’s Daughter: Scarlett Starr

Melanie Chisholm has largely kept her daughter out of the spotlight. Sporty Spice — along with then-partner Thomas Starr — welcomed baby girl Scarlett Starr on Feb. 22, 2009; she’s pictured here expecting Scarlett in 2008.
