WATCH: Social media buzzing about Spice Girls’ reunion (video)

Social media erupted with excitement as fans rejoiced over the long-awaited reunion of the five Spice Girls, with many flooding Beckham's post with comments expressing their delight.


The Spice Girls made a rare reunion appearance over the weekend, gathering all five members at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday bash. Set at Oswald’s, an exclusive London club, the event drew A-listers such as Tom Cruise, Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria, and Gordon Ramsay.

During the festivities, Beckham and her fellow Spice Girls – Geri Halliwell-Horner, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, and Emma Bunton – delighted guests by belting out their classic hit Stop and showcasing the iconic choreography from their 1997 album Spiceworld, reports The Guardian.

David Beckham, Victoria’s husband, shared his excitement on Instagram, capturing the moment as he watched with glee. “I mean, come on,” the 48-year-old former footballer exclaimed in his caption.

Victoria expressed her joy in the comments, declaring, “Best night ever! Happy Birthday to me! I love you all so much! #SpiceUpYourLife.” The hashtag pays homage to the Spice Girls’ hit song released during their 1990s peak, according to the BBC.
