She must’ve said she’ll be there.

Geri Halliwell will reportedly attend the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix in a show of support to her husband, Christian Horner, after sexually suggestive text messages he allegedly sent a female staffer leaked online.

The Spice Girls member, 51, arrived ahead of the Formula 1 event in the Middle East on Thursday night, per the Telegraph, and she reportedly will go to the tracks Saturday for the first race of the year.

However, she has not yet been photographed in Bahrain, and her reps did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

Last month, Horner — who is the boss of Red Bull’s F1 team — was accused of “coercive behavior” toward a female subordinate colleague.

Red Bull’s parent company launched an investigation allegedly conducted by an independent party, and Horner, 50, was cleared of any wrongdoing.

However, one day after the misconduct probe concluded, hundreds of WhatsApp messages and photos he allegedly exchanged with the female staffer were reportedly sent to high-level F1 executives.

According to the Associated Press, nearly 200 people were copied on the email, including F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali and FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

Horner maintained via a Red Bull team spokesperson that the allegations made against him were false, and said he “respected the integrity of the independent investigation.”

However, an unknown source leaked even more messages Thursday to F1 bosses and multiple media outlets.

One message allegedly showed Horner discussing doing a solo sexual act in an aircraft bathroom during a flight to Dubai.

Another text, reviewed by The Post, purportedly showed the female staffer fuming at the Red Bull Racing CEO, asking him how he would feel if Halliwell were the one acting that way.

Per the Telegraph, Halliwell feels “extremely humiliated,” and a source previously told the Sun that the “2 Become 1” singer was left “in floods of tears” when the Scandal first broke.

Halliwell and Horner wed in 2015. They share a 6-year-old son named Monty.

The couple also has children from previous relationships: Halliwell’s 17-year-old daughter, Bluebell, and Horner’s 10-year-old daughter, Olivia.
