Victoria Beckham has delighted Spice Girls fans all over the world after sharing a reunion snap with her former bandmates - but it's left the internet quite divided.
On Sunday (25 January), the 51-year-old fashion designer took to Instagram to post a pic posing alongside Geri Horner (Ginger Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) and Melanie C (Sporty Spice), less than a week after her eldest child, Brooklyn, 26, posted a series of claims about her and David on Instagram (19 January).
His claims referenced 'Brand Beckham', wedding dress speculation and his and his wife Nicola Peltz's first dance drama, allegedly dating back to 2022.
Following Brooklyn's statements, fans have been patiently waiting for either Victoria or David to issue a direct response, but that hasn't happened yet.

So, you can imagine just how flustered they got when Victoria shared the photo with her Spice Girls crew, captioning the post: "Happy birthday to the most beautiful soul @emmaleebunton I love you girls so much @gerihalliwellhorner @melaniecmusic xxxxxxx."
The other three Spice Girls veterans also shared the same picture on their Instagram feeds.
Now, it's glaringly obvious that this birthday meet-up wasn't a proper reunion, given that Scary Spice - AKA Mel B - wasn't in attendance and fans didn't hold back with their questioning.
Over the years, Mel B hasn’t always seen eye to eye with the gang and has previously claimed to have been kicked out of their WhatsApp chat in 2024.
One X user worried: "Mel B is still not included in their WhatsApp group chat I fear. Welcome to the 50s club Baby Bunton!"
"Where is Mel B?!" urged a second, as a third chimed in: "There were 5 Spice Girls. Where is the last one?"
However, the singer issued her own birthday message to Bunton on Instagram, where she wrote: "My dear ‘BUNTON’ you will always be BABY to me even though you are now the big 50!!!!!!! Happy Birthday I Love you lots and lots and lots !!!"
Meanwhile, others took the opportunity to speculate over whether the foursome discussed the Beckham family drama at all and if Victoria was pulling some kind of 'distraction tactic'.
"They were getting the dirt on the Beckham saga," declared one fan, as a second quipped: "Oh Victoria u messy girl."
"Nothing to distract from a family drama meme explosion quite like a four out of five Spice Reunion looking 10 out of 10," praised a third, as a fourth chimed in: "The devil works hard, but Victoria works harder."
A fifth chirped: "No way, I’m laughing so hard."
And some were simply proud of Victoria showing up for her pal despite all the media controversy and headlines.
"Victoria Beckham showing up for her friend—considering what's going on—tells me everything I need to know," gushed one X user.
"Ha. Victoria Beckham pulls a classic Spice Girl-style power move. 'Look at me with my famous beautiful friends. Sit down silly boy. Mummy knows what she’s doing'," a second theorised.
And a final X user congratulated: "Victoria Beckham showing up for Emma despite all the family drama with Brooklyn is such a class move.
"Posh and Baby’s friendship is truly top-tier. They all look incredible for 50!"
