Geri Halliwell has been left feeling “relieved” and “elated” after her husband Christian Horner was cleared of allegations surrounding workplace misconduct.
The F1 boss will remain the team principal of Red Bull Racing after being under investigation over alleged inappropriate behaviour at work.
He was also accused of sending improper messages to one of his former female employees earlier this month.
A source told The Sun: “This has been weeks of hell for Christian and his family. As he has said all along, these claims are ‘nuts’.”
They continued: “An exhaustive investigation has been carried out and the allegations have proven to be nonsense.
“Geri has been rock solid behind Christian — and his whole family is relieved and elated that it’s over.
“Those feelings are there but no one close to Christian feels like celebrating much after what he’s been through,” the insider added.
Halliwell was understood to be leaning on his former Spice Girls bandmates when the accusations were first made public.
She and Horner tied the knot in 2015 and are parents to six-year-old son Monty.
