Emma Bunton recently gave fans a peek at her lavish 50th birthday party, which she enjoyed with her former Spice Girls bandmates.
The singer shared a bunch of cheerful photos from her birthday celebration on Instagram on Wednesday.
Emma smiled brightly in a blue and white shirt, posing next to a large birthday cake decorated with fifty candles.
Then came a glamorous photo of the singer alongside her previous bandmates: Melanie C, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria Beckham.
She shared a cute picture with her husband, Jade Jones, of them enjoying pottery, followed by a photo of them ice skating.
Emma shared a heartfelt message with her post, saying her 50th birthday was filled with love, laughter, and joy, and she thanked everyone for making her life so wonderful.
I was so excited to hear Victoria and David Beckham were at Emma’s dinner party at Soho Farmhouse on Saturday! Apparently, it was a really beautiful, flower-filled event, and they were among only 30 guests – what an intimate gathering!
Not far from their Cotswolds home, Victoria and David Beckham stepped out for their first public event since their son, Brooklyn, publicly claimed they were controlling and had tried to sabotage his marriage to Nicola Peltz. The couple, recently returned from Davos, dressed up for the occasion.
The friend said everyone has been deeply saddened since last Monday. It’s been a really tough time for them, but David and Victoria have been reliable and kept their commitments.
‘There was some uncertainty about Emma’s birthday but they adore her, she is very special to them.’
The dinner party included guests like Geri Horner, Mel C, Nicole Appleton, Holly Willoughby, and Leigh Francis. Some guests, like these, stayed overnight at the main house on the property, while others just came for the evening.
This spacious house can accommodate up to 14 guests and costs more than £5,000 per night. It features seven bathrooms, a kitchen, a garden, and a dining room.
Guests arriving for the party were greeted by a milk float that transported them directly to the entrance.
David and Victoria Beckham, who live nearby and often visit the private club, reportedly arrived at the party discreetly to avoid attracting attention.
Emma hosted a dinner for her friends and family, including her husband Jade Jones, 46, their children Beau, 18, and Tate, 14, and her mother Pauline. The dinner was held in the venue’s Glasshouse, a private room built with steel and glass.
Before the event began, a long table for thirty people was arranged and decorated with colourful flowers and candles.
Even though the party had a small, curated guest list, it was far from calm. A complimentary bar and plenty of Picantes – a popular tequila cocktail with agave, lime, coriander, and chili – kept the energy high.
Guests cheered ‘Happy 50th Birthday!’ and a DJ played music after dinner, encouraging everyone to dance.
The party at the Glasshouse ended around 1 a.m., and a few people spontaneously started singing “You And Me Song” by The Wannadies, a hit from 1994.
Guests who weren’t staying at the main location went home, while others kept the party going in their individual cabins.
The event was a celebration for Emma, who embraced her ‘Baby Spice’ persona with a pale pink suit and long, straight blonde hair. But it was also a way for Victoria to show her support for her friends, and for them to rally around her.
The designer posted a photo with Emma, Mel C, and Geri to Instagram, marking her first post since her son Brooklyn’s recent announcement. She captioned the image with a birthday wish for ‘the most beautiful soul’.
Victoria, dressed in a stylish yet simple black pantsuit and white top, told her fellow Spice Girls – including Mel and Geri, though Mel B was missing – ‘I love you girls so much.’
They shared the picture again, echoing Victoria’s feelings, and publicly showed their continued loyalty and close friendship, even after three decades in the spotlight.
Sir David, age 50, shared a comment saying the post made him very happy and he could only imagine how thrilled Spice Girls fans must be. He described it as a special night celebrating Emma.
Nicole from All Saints shared that she enjoyed seeing everyone, and Holly described the evening as beautiful and full of love.
Despite a harsh six-page statement from his son, Sir David remained committed to his friends and work, attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The upsetting post claimed his parents valued the ‘Beckham brand’ more than anything, and that his mother rudely interrupted his first dance with his wife at their 2022 wedding by dancing with him in a way that was considered inappropriate.
He accused them of disrespecting his wife and prioritizing their own promotion and sponsorships over everything else.
He rejected the showy displays on social media, obligatory family gatherings, and superficial connections that had always been part of his upbringing.
Emma celebrated her 50th birthday with a live broadcast, and her Spice Girls bandmates sent her heartfelt birthday wishes on air.
Emma Bunton, known as Baby Spice, started her birthday festivities by hosting the Heart FM breakfast show while Amanda Holden was away.
While she was on air, her co-host Jamie Theakston surprised her with a Colin the Caterpillar cake, and fans began sending birthday wishes on social media.
Despite ongoing personal issues with her son Brooklyn, Victoria Beckham was quick to publicly wish Emma a happy birthday.
Victoria shared an old photo on her Instagram Stories of Emma riding on her shoulders, both of them beaming with smiles from a happier moment in the past.
She captioned the black and white picture: ‘Happy Birthday @emmaleebunton, I love you so much!!’
Victoria also reshared a clip of Emma singing during their 1996 Say You’ll Be There music video.
Mel B also posted a heartfelt message to Emma, fondly calling her ‘baby’ and saying she’ll always see her that way.
She wrote a sweet message with photos, saying, ‘My dear Bunton, you’ll always be my baby, even though you’re turning the big 5-0! Happy Birthday! I love you so much!’
Geri also shared a birthday message, saying ‘Happy 50th Birthday! I love you very much. You’re a truly special person with a huge heart, and I’m so thankful to have you in my life. Wishing you lots of happiness and love.’
Mel C, also known as Sporty Spice, posted a video remembering special moments with Emma. She recalled the day they first met – picking her up at Maidenhead station in Geri’s old Fiat Uno – and how it changed their lives forever. She finished by saying she loves Emma very much.
Happy Birthday to the most amazing Mum, bandmate, and friend! You’re always there for everyone, and I can’t wait to celebrate you. Wishing you the best day, month, and a fantastic 50th year! I love you so much!
