Geri Horner (nee Halliwell) and her husband Christian have revealed the name of their first child together after welcoming a baby boy into the world over the weekend.

Taking to Twitter to announce the news, the former Spice Girls star wrote, ‘Christian and I are delighted to announce our baby boy was born this morning weighing 7lbs 8oz’.

Geri has now revealed her new born son’s name alongside an adorable snap of his little feet. She wrote, ‘Montague George Hector Horner arrived this morning, a beautiful little brother for Bluebell and Olivia #amazing-day #grateful #monty'

According to sources, Geri chose the middle name ‘George’ in tribute to her late friend George Michael.

Geri was a good friend to the former Wham! star and she wanted him to be a ‘big part’ of her son’s life. After his tragic passing on Christmas Day, Geri wanted to pay tribute to the singer in her own way.
