Geri Horner walks hand in hand with husband Christian after sext scandal
Geri Horner has been pictured supporting her husband Christian Horner in Bahrain, just days after messages of a sexual nature alleged to have been sent from her husband to a female employee were leaked.
The Spice Girl, 51, made a firm show she is standing by man as she was happily photographed by his side ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix today.
Geri gave a smile as she took her husband-of-nine-year's hand as they made their way into the Paddock prior to the first race of the season at Bahrain's International circuit today. There had been rumours Geri would not attend following recent allegations about her partner, who is the father to her seven-year-old son Montague.
However, dressed in her signature white, the singer-turned-author made an unmistakable show of support as she beamed for the cameras and affectionately took Christian's hand.
Red Bull CE0 Christian was this week cleared of misconduct following an investigation into allegations about his relations with a female employee. Red Bull Austria, the team's parent company, said in a statement on Wednesday that the grievance has been dismissed.

Red Bull is confident that the investigation has been fair, rigorous and impartial," they added.
A spokesperson confirmed that the report would remain confidential between those involved and the third parties who assisted in the investigation. However, hours later messages alleged to have been sent by Christian to a female co-worker were leaked online and shared by thousands of people.
Loyal Geri had been on a private jet heading to the Gulf state this weekend when the texts went public. A source told the Mirror the sandal had 'really taken a toll' on the mum and she was locked in 'crisis talks' with her team about how to respond.

After making a defiant arrival, the pair were spotted deep in conversation as they spent time together in Red Bull's hospitality suite. The Bag It Up singer is expected to be trackside before the race starts at 3pm on Saturday.
The day before, Christian refused to respond to allegations about the sexts - which Mirror Sport has seen - telling reporters 'I am not going to comment on anonymous speculation from unknown sources."
Geri and Christian tied the knot in May 2015 and share seven-year-old son Montague George Hector Horner. While Geri is also mum to 17-year-old daughter Bluebell Madonna from a previous relationship and Christian has a daughter from his previous marriage.

Dedicating a sweet video message to her husband, Geri said to the camera: “You are my best friend. I love you more than words can say and I am so grateful that you’re in my life. I think that you’re an amazing person. You’re kind, loving, generous. I’m just really, really grateful. And I just really want to wish you the best. This new chapter in your life is just brilliance. You’re an amazing man and I just want to wish you happy, happy birthday. I love you.”

Though the pair seem more loved up than ever after almost a decade of marriage, their union almost didn’t happen at all. Christian previously revealed how Geri awkwardly snubbed him when they first met at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2009.

I remember [McLaren boss] Ron Dennis was standing next to me and Eddie Jordan was there as well. Anyway, she gave Ron a kiss on the cheek, and she gave Eddie a kiss on the cheek. So I thought, 'OK, I'm on for a kiss on the cheek here!' I went to give her one and she shoved her hand out at me!"
