As her multi-millionaire husband’s alleged behaviour sparks an investigation, insiders say Geri Horner has been left feeling ‘anxious’ by the drama
Having dated famous faces including Robbie Willams, Chris Evans, Lee Ryan and Russell Brand, her tumultuous love life hit headlines for over a decade before she confirmed her romance with F1 boss Christian Horner in 2014.
And in what appeared to be a fairy-tale ending for Geri Horner, 51, the pair wed the following year and welcomed son Montague, now seven, in 2017.
The couple also share the Spice Girl’s daughter Bluebell, 17, from her relationship with screenwriter Sacha Gervasi, and Christian’s daughter Olivia, 10, from his relationship with Beverley Allen.
But last week, it emerged that Red Bull Racing had recruited an independent barrister to investigate claims made against Christian, 50, of “inappropriate behaviour of a controlling nature”, believed to have been made by a female employee.
HELLISH
He was due to be questioned on Friday over the claims, which he strongly denies. Now an insider says that Geri can’t help but feel worried about the future.
A source says, “Obviously this has been a hellish time for Geri and she’s been in a state of absolute turmoil – trying to hold it together for the kids while quietly crumbling inside.
“The media speculation coupled with all the interrogation and drama going on internally has left her fairy-tale life in tatters and she’s at rock bottom – struggling to eat, barely sleeping and just about functioning as she struggles to deal with it all.”
The couple are due to celebrate their 10th anniversary next year, and while the beginning of their blossoming romance raised eyebrows – with the pair first meeting in 2009 as friends and confirming their romance just six months after Olivia was born – their idyllic life has been smooth sailing since.
Geri and Christian, said to have a joint fortune of over £70 million, live between two country mansions in Oxfordshire and Hampshire, and regularly share snapshots of their life – from private A-list parties to time spent on their farm – with fans on so
