A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Victoria is probably one of the few people that are close to Geri. They have been through thick and thin together and the bond between them is stronger than ever. She was like a sister to her when she was pregnant."

Geri - who has reportedly denied Bluebell’s father, scriptwriter Sacha Gervasi, access to the child - is believed to be lining up Sir Elton John’s partner David Furnish to be the godfather. The 33-year-old singer has been staying with Elton and David since giving birth last month. Geri moved in with the married couple after complaining of a lack of privacy at her London home.

Geri Finally Names Daughter - May 23, 2020
Geri Halliwell has finally named her baby girl who was born on May 14. The star has chosen the name Bluebell Madonna after spotting the flowers during her pregnancy and because "Scarlett O’Hara was my heroine and I seem to recall she had a daughter named Blue." She picked Madonna as a middle name after the baby was delivered with her arms in the air "as if she was shouting ’Hello Wembley!".

Geri Halliwell has given birth to a baby girl - May 15, 2020
The former Spice Girl, better known as Ginger, reportedly gave birth via caesarean section at London’s Portland hospital at 9pm yesterday (14.05.06). A hospital source revealed: "The birth went well. Mother and daughter are doing fine."

Geri’s mother, Anna Maria, stayed by her side throughout the delivery - which came a month early - but the father of her child, Sacha Gervaise, was not present. The 33-year-old singer - who fell pregnant during a six-week fling last year - is believed to have banned the Hollywood screen producer, and recovering dug addict, from being involved in her child’s life. It has been claimed that Gervasi’s lifestyle was so overtaken by drugs that he got kicked out of the band Bush after having an ecstasy overdose on stage.

Geri has previously talked about her anxiety at having her first child and revealed that she would call her baby Leonardo if it was a boy. She said: "I’m just hoping this child is more angel than devil’s child. "To think that it might one day be going to the equivalent of the raves I went to, or driving away my car without permission, just like the way I took my dad’s, is horrifying."

The father of Geri’s baby is a former drug addict - May 9, 2020
The father of Geri Halliwell’s baby is a former drug addict - it has been claimed. Hollywood scriptwriter Sacha Gervasi - whose baby the former Spice Girl is due to give birth to next month - reportedly spent eight months in rehab to treat heroin and crack cocaine addiction.

It has also been claimed that Gervasi’s lifestyle was so overtaken by drugs that he got kicked out of the band Bush after having an ecstasy overdose on stage. The British-born former drummer allegedly had to check into an exclusive Surrey rehab clinic more than a decade ago to treat his ?200 a day addiction.

A fellow patient was quoted in The Sun newspaper as saying: "It was mainly used by addicts for whom rehab was the last option. It was filled with hardcore, long-term addicts. "The only difference between him and a street junkie was that Sacha was born into a privileged family with the trappings of wealth."
