The Shocking Truth Behind The Spice Girls’ Reunion Tour

BBG News

It’s said that Simon Fuller, who managed the Spice Girls during the ’90s, could be facing a massive divorce settlement worth approximately £200 million. There are claims suggesting his role may have influenced the Spice Girls’ decision to reunite.

It’s said that Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Mel B, and Mel C are planning a reunion for their 30th anniversary, with whispers of a global tour on the horizon. However, Victoria Beckham won’t be participating in this comeback.

There are rumors suggesting that music tycoon Simon, aged 64, might be negotiating a reunion with the band, aiming to cover substantial expenses following his separation from Natalie Swinston, as reported by The Sun.

After months of speculation about their private life in Hollywood, the woman who created Pop Idol is embroiled in a legal dispute over her estimated £450 million wealth, as her spouse has filed for divorce.

As a devoted fan following the Spice Girls, I can now better comprehend Simon’s ambition to reunite us once more and embark on a profitable concert tour. This insight sheds light on his motivations.

TopMob has contacted representatives for Simon and the band for comment.  

Three heart-wrenching weeks ago, I found myself standing on the precipice of a day that would’ve marked my idol’s 17th matrimonial milestone with his beloved partner – a moment now forever shrouded in the shadows of divorce news.

It’s said that Natalie is asking for alimony and wants the court to stop her separated husband from claiming spousal support himself.

She has asked for shared legal guardianship over the three kids she shares with Simon – Grace, who is 14, and their twin children, each nine years old.

It’s thought that they had a prenuptial agreement before getting married, which took place at a vineyard in Napa Valley.

On Friday, which was when she lodged her paperwork, she indicated the separation date between herself and her partner as the reason for their irreparable disagreements leading to the filing for divorce.

Reports indicate that British citizen Simon has been residing separately from his spouse, following allegations suggesting a strain in their relationship.

According to what was shared with The Mail, there have been discussions about Simon being by himself for some time. Although things haven’t been ideal, Natalie has now escalated their separation and declared that they are moving towards a divorce.

Simon’s life has undergone a significant transformation since his days overseeing the Beckham family. Now, he leads a more tranquil existence.

On May 30, 2009, they got married in a star-studded event with celebrities like the Spice Girls, Claudia Schiffer, and Annie Lennox in attendance.

Additionally, a festive gathering took place at the Auberge du Soleil hotel located in Napa Valley, where an overnight stay would set you back approximately £2,500. The musical entertainment for this event was graciously provided by Samantha Ronson, Mark Ronson’s talented DJ sibling.

He lived in Los Angeles as his main residence, but frequently visited Britain due to the presence of his entertainment agency, XIX Entertainment, which was headquartered in Battersea, London.

2020 saw Simon part with the seven-bedroom mansion situated in Bel Air, Los Angeles, a mere six years following its acquisition by him.

They purchased a 11,200 square foot house for approximately £18.7 million and completed significant renovations on the property. As a result, they were able to sell it for around £21.9 million.

Prior to this, Simon resided in a spacious five-bedroom house located in Beverly Hills, a property he purchased back in 2005 when he was still a bachelor.

At the exact moment when stories about a Spice Girls tour comeback surface, it’s also said that Victoria Beckham, aged 51, will likely not participate in this reunion. For now, the remaining four members are planning to proceed with their tour without her involvement.

After a long time, it seems Geri and her band manager Simon have been communicating once more, advancing the possibility of their reunion as hints for getting back together from different members have surfaced over the years.

Last month, a source shared with The Sun: ‘Although nothing has been finalized, it appears that Geri and Simon have reconnected, brainstorming numerous intriguing possibilities.’

Previously, there were reports suggesting a fallout between Victoria, her spouse David, and the music executive Simon.

In fact, the relationship among the trio deteriorated significantly by 2018, leading both Beckhams to purchase their way out of their contracts with Simon’s XIX Entertainment.

A duo spent approximately £38 million to acquire a 33% share owned by Simon in David Beckham’s business ventures. This acquisition granted David and Victoria complete authority over Beckham Brand Holdings, an entity that also includes a portion of the American soccer club, Inter Miami.

A source close to the band informed the Mail that the Spice Girls collaborating with Fuller definitively rules out any participation from Victoria whatsoever.

It seems quite unusual that they pleaded with Victoria for decades to join their group, only to ignore her once they secured his participation.

It’s possible that they felt there was no need, since the Beckhams and Fullers are no longer connected, their relationship has ended.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share my insights about the recent developments in the band. When they’re seeking a manager, it unequivocally indicates that Victoria won’t be part of the equation this time around. It seems they are well aware of this fact, which is why they haven’t extended an invitation to her now that they’ve reunited with Fuller.

Simon, known for revolutionizing TV with Pop Idol, the globally popular entertainment series that made history, is estimated to have amassed a staggering £445 million fortune, as reported by the Sunday Times Rich List in 2020. His wealth includes real estate holdings across Europe, North America, and South America.

After they got married, Natalie has the right to receive a portion of his income earned from that point onwards, even though most of his wealth was amassed prior to their marriage.

Regardless of the stressful journeys taken by the couple between the U.S. and Britain due to Simon’s job, their union has been considered ‘solid’ by his coworkers for a long time.
