The Spice Girls burst onto the music scene in the mid-1990s, and fans loved their cheeky blend of girl-power anthems and fun tunes to dance to. Honestly, put the song “Wannabe” on at a wedding, and we guarantee that the dance floor will still instantly fill with all of us who can still remember debating which Spice Girl we liked best when we were in high school and college. (Was there anyone who didn’t secretly wish she was a Posh after Victoria Beckham landed David Beckham?).
One of the more sentimental songs on the Spice Girl’s 1996 debut album, Spice, was a ballad called “Mama,” which was a slightly cheesy but heartfelt tribute to their own mothers. We can’t help but wonder if any of them realized at the time that they would all go on to become mothers themselves.
All five of the Spice Girls have kids now, with Victoria leading the pack with four. Sporty Spice, also known as Mel C, has one daughter named Scarlett who she raises out of the limelight and doesn’t post photos of on social media. But the other members of the group have shared enough photos for us to delight in how much their children look like them, so scroll on for 15 sweet pics of the Spice Girls and their look-alike kids.
Victoria & Harper
We were so excited for fashionista Victoria Beckham when her fourth child turned out to be a girl. Not that her sons aren’t fashionable, too, but we suspected Victoria was eager to have someone to pass down some of her iconic clothes to someday. We usually think that Harper (age 11) looks more like David, but we can see a mom-daughter resemblance in their profiles in this sweet picture that David posted.
Victoria & Brooklyn
In this shot of Victoria with all of her kids, we think that her oldest son, Brooklyn (pictured far right), might be the one who looks most like her. We can see Victoria’s eyes and nose on the 24-year-old’s face, right? Brooklyn recently got married, so grandkids could soon be in Victoria’s future.
Victoria & Cruz
This is a throwback and one of those pictures where we can both admire the cuteness of a boy and his mom rocking the same color hair and recognize that the rich really are different from the rest of us. Normal people do not look like that when getting through the airport with their kid! Cruz, now 18, shared this photo as part of a 2023 Mother’s Day tribute to Victoria.
Ginger & Montague
Ginger Spice, also known as Geri Halliwell, has two children and is also a stepmom. Her son with Formula 1 race car driver Christian Horner is 6-year-old Montague George Hector Horner (that is quite a name!). He clearly inherited his mom’s signature fair coloring and red hair.
Geri & Bluebell
There comes a moment in many moms’ lives when we are forced to reckon with the fact that our tiny baby is now as tall or taller than us. From the looks of this picture, Geri has already had that moment with her 16-year-old daughter, Bluebell. We’re wondering if that means Bluebell can finally raid her mom’s closet for an epic Halloween Spice Girls costume.
Beckham Family Faces
Without Brooklyn in the picture, we think we’ll put Cruz (standing next to Victoria) down as the kid who most closely resembles her. Harper really does look more like David. Romeo, who currently plays professional soccer, seems to be a good mixture of his two parents.
Emma & Beau
Baby Spice, whose real name is Emma Bunton, has two children with husband Jade Jones (the couple married in July 2021). Her eldest son, who shares her sunny smile and the rest of her face, is a 15-year-old named Beau. (Younger son Tate turns 12 in May 2023.) The two really do look like clones!
Mel B & Madi
Mel B, forever Scary Spice in our hearts, has three children. She shares daughter Madi, age 11, with ex-husband Stephen Belafonte. Mel and Madi seem to be a tight duo who both look alike and share completely gorgeous heads of curly hair.
Look-Alike Selfies With Mel
We’re struck again by how much Mel and Madi look alike in this sweet selfie. We’re also trying to figure out how it is possible that Mel is 47 years old and still looks basically the same as she did in her Spice Girls days. We need to know her beauty regimen, stat.
Emma & Beau Are Soccer Fans
We should probably respect the English terminology and call them football fans instead. Emma and Beau got a chance to spend some quality time together watching a match, and we get to look at this fun photo and point out that, yep, these two have the exact same nose.
Amazing Hair Runs in Mel's Family
Mel’s older child is 24-year-old model and influencer Phoenix Chi Gulzar, who she shares with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar. Phoenix seems to resemble her mother both in terms of great hair and a certain rebellious, free-spirited attitude.
Geri's GSCEs Celebration
The GCSEs are a major test in the British school system, and it looks like Geri’s daughter must have done pretty well on hers, given her mom’s proud post. Bluebell looks so much like her mom, especially around the eyes and nose, we think.
Ginger Genes
It is estimated that red, orange, and auburn hair are the least common natural hair colors in the world, with less than 2% of the population having that coloring. It looks like that percentage is quite a bit higher in Geri’s house, as son Monty has his mom’s trademark ginger hair.
Mel's Beautiful Crew
Mel looks determined to raise all three of her kids to be strong and independent. Her middle child is 15-year-old daughter Angel Iris Murphy Brown (she is one of comedian Eddie Murphy’s 10 children). We love that Angel is also rocking the big natural hair!
Geri & Beau's Matching Smiles
Although her kids are getting older, Emma recently launched an environmentally friendly line of baby products, including diapers, called Kit & Kin. Her teen Beau — who has the same great grin as his mom — might not be her target demographic, but maybe he’ll join the business someday?
