Geri Halliwell is standing by her husband, Christian Horner, amid Scandalous accusations that he allegedly sent sexually suggestive messages to a female staffer.

The Spice Girls member, 51, was seen smiling and confidently holding onto the Red Bull Racing CEO’s hand as they arrived at the Bahrain Grand Prix together on Saturday.

She appeared in photos from the Formula 1 event wearing a beige dress with her hair styled down.

Meanwhile, Horner, 50, wore his usual getup to support Red Bull’s racing team.

They were spotted at times sitting together at coffee shop in the Bahrain International Circuit and having what appeared to be a pleasant conversation, as they both grinned during some one-on-one time.

When approached by friendly acquaintances, the pair happily spoke to them as well.

At one point, Halliwell and Horner even exchanged a sweet kiss in front of the cameras and attendees.

The unbothered display by the duo comes after many speculated whether Halliwell would even attend the sporting event given the claims made about Horner.

Last month, the F1 boss was accused of “coercive behavior” toward a female subordinate colleague, causing Red Bull’s parent company to launch an investigation via an independent party.

He was cleared of any wrongdoing in the misconduct probe, but shortly after, the alleged messages he sent were leaked to several F1 bosses and media outlets.

Nearly 200 people were reportedly copied on the email, including F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali and FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

Horner maintained his innocence, standing by the “integrity of the independent investigation.”

However, even more messages were then leaked this past Thursday, which shockingly revealed some of the inappropriate conversations he allegedly had with his female subordinate colleague.

In one message, the British motorsport executive allegedly asked the woman about her flexibility, writing, “might need to be slightly flexible … like you 😂,” then told her to “take a selfie” after she said she could get one of her legs behind her head.

“Still in the spanx?” he also allegedly asked, adding, “You look very attractive in them.”

A source previously claimed the “Wannabe” singer was left “in floods of tears” when the Scandal broke.

However, it was reported earlier this week that Halliwell would be attending the Bahrain Grand Prix in a show of solidarity to her husband.

The couple, who wed in 2015, share a 6-year-old son named Monty. They also each have another child from previous relationships.
