Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham have bonded over motherhood.

The Spice Girl - who was reported to have fallen out with Victoria after quitting the group in 1998 - has rubbished rumours she and her sometime bandmate don't get along and says they and their children are incredibly close.

She told Britain's You magazine: "Victoria and I were talking the other day about why we are always made out to be enemies - it couldn't be further from the truth. We are actually the biggest supporters of each other. We feel really proud of one another, particularly when you add this bond of motherhood."

Geri has a 23-month-old daughter Bluebell from her brief relationship with scriptwriter Sacha Gervasi, while Victoria has three sons - Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, five, Cruz, three - with her soccer star husband David.

The star, better known as Ginger Spice, also revealed Victoria's boys looked after Bluebell on the group's recent reunion tour.

She added: "We had a creche backstage and it was wonderful. They are all such great kids. I have huge admiration for Victoria, she had her boys with her the whole time and she's done such a great job with them - they are all so well-mannered and caring. Romeo is so sweet with Bluebell, they are all so lovely to be around."
