Emma Bunton said her split from husband Jade Jones gave them time to 'grow as people' before reuniting.
The former Spice Girl, 45, began dating Jade, who was a member of the now-defunct boyband Damage, in 1998 when she was 21 and he was 19.
The couple split just one year later and then reconciled in 2000, before parting ways again in 2002, when it was rumoured that she had a fling with Justin Timberlake.
