Emma Bunton gushed over her eldest son Beau after he celebrated his 15th birthday on Wednesday.
The Spice Girls singer, 46, took to social media to pay tribute to her first child, who she shares with husband Jade Jones - former lead singer of 90s R&B band Damage. She shared a rare snap of herself and Beau beaming with almost identical smiles on Thursday afternoon to her "handsome man".
She wrote on Instagram to her 1.3 million followers: "How did this happen? Yesterday @beaubuntonjones turned 15!!!! He is the kindest, most thoughtful, warm, funny, loyal, clever and handsome man. You have taught us to move with the times and you are our light our everything our world. Love you so much. Xxxx."
A host of famous faces commented to wish happy birthday to Beau, with Australian signer and actress Natalie Imbruglia replying with a red love heart emoji.
Former Eastenders star Martine McCutcheon wrote: "That beautiful smile… Just like yours darling", while Geri Horner's husband - team principle of Red Bull Formula One team Christian Horner - added: "Happy Birthday Beau."
Dannii Minogue simply said: "Fab photo!", with former X Factor presenter Kate Thornton commenting: "He is all of your smile! Happy birthday lovely Beau x".
Emma has a second son, Tate, 11, with Jade and the couple have been dating for 24 years. Despite their long-term relationship, the pair got married in July 2021 and recently celebrated their one-year anniversary.
It is believed that the Spice Girls are set to perform as five piece for the first time since the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics - as part of Geri Horner 's 50th birthday celebrations. Ginger Spice Geri has invited fellow members Emma, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Victoria Beckham to the lavish party in September.
The bash is to be held in a Grade II listed manor in Oxfordshire, close to David and Victoria's own manor house in the Cotswolds. The group last performed in 2019 - albeit without Victoria - when the Girls embarked on a sell-out 13-date tour of the UK and Ireland. Posh Spice Victoria was invited to take part, but was forced to decline due to other commitments.
