Spice Girls star Geri Horner’s daughter Bluebell, 20, 'performs at secret London charity gig’

Bluebell Madonna, the 20-year-old daughter of Spice Girls star Geri Halliwell-Horner, has reportedly showcased her musical talents at a charity gig in London.

The English Literature student is said to have taken to the stage at an intimate show at Piano Smithfield alongside university friends, with the event reportedly raising money for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

Bluebell, whose father is screenwriter Sacha Gervasi, is reportedly interested in music and fashion but has no current plans to pursue a career as a singer.

A source told The Sun: “Just like her mum, Bluebell has a keen ear for music and has really enjoyed getting on stage.

“Rather than wanting to be a star in her own right, Bluebell teamed up with some of her pals to put on a charity gig and she did a warm-up show at their student bar ahead of that.

“It went down really well, but she currently has no plans to become a singer. She does have an interest in music and fashion, but is more focused on marketing and life behind the camera.”

Bluebell is Geri’s eldest child. The former Spice Girl, 54, shares her with Gervasi, 60, following their relationship in 2005.

Geri later married former Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner in 2015. The couple share nine-year-old son Monty, while Christian is Bluebell’s stepfather.

Bluebell has largely stayed out of the spotlight despite growing up around some of the biggest names in music and entertainment.

Her godmother is Geri’s former Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham, while Kenny Goss, the late George Michael’s former partner, is her godfather.

Earlier this year, Bluebell joined her mother at the BRIT Awards in Manchester, where she mingled with stars at the annual music ceremony.

She is currently studying English Literature at university, with Geri previously opening up about her daughter leaving home during an appearance on Jessie Ware’s Table Manners podcast.

“She’s studying English Literature,” Geri said. “It’s amazing to watch them thrive and find their own lane.”

Geri has also spoken about watching her daughter grow up and find her own path away from her mother’s fame.

Bluebell was born following Geri’s relationship with Gervasi in 2005. Details of their family circumstances have largely remained private.

Despite her connections to the entertainment world, Bluebell appears to be pursuing interests outside the spotlight, with music, fashion and marketing among the areas she has reportedly shown an interest in.

Geri shot to fame as Ginger Spice in the Spice Girls, joining Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton in the chart-topping girl group.

The band became one of the biggest pop acts of the 1990s, with hits including Wannabe, Say You’ll Be There and Spice Up Your Life.

Geri left the group in 1998 but later reunited with her former bandmates for a number of performances, including their 2007-08 reunion tour and the group’s 2019 UK tour without Victoria Beckham.
