Geri Halliwell has just made a huge announcement.

She's pregnant, woo hoo!

The artist formerly known as Ginger Spice has posted the news on Twitter, saying: "God bless Mother Nature #mamaspice"

The star's team confirmed the news in a statement, saying: "Spice Girl Geri Horner (née Halliwell), 44, and husband Christian Horner OBE, 42, are absolutely delighted to announce they are expecting their first child together. The couple is overjoyed with the good news and cannot wait to welcome the newest addition to their family."

Aww, we love baby news.

Geri and her husband, Red Bull Formula 1 team principal Christian, married in May 2015 and had Geri's daughter, Bluebell, as a bridesmaid.

But what will this mean for GEM?

You know, Geri, Mel B and Emma Bunton's sort of Spice Girl reunion band.

After teasing the excited 90s-loving kid in us for a while (hanging out at studios together and the like), GEM finally confirmed in July they'd be reforming for a MASSIVE concert at Hyde Park in 2017.

We guess Geri could still take part, it's not pregnancy affects your vocal cords. She may want to go easy when busting out some mega moves though.

Sadly, Victoria Beckham won't be joining the reformed band because, come on – of course she isn't.

And neither will Mel C, although she perhaps wasn't as gracious about it as she could have been.

"There’s a lot to be said for bowing out on a high note. For me, the absolute pinnacle of my Spice existence was being watched by a billion people around the globe belting out Spice up Your Life on top of a black cab at the 2012 London Olympics.

"Anything less than the full line-up just didn’t feel like we’d be doing justice to the band or the fans," she said in LOVE magazine.

Sad face.

Still, BABY. Happy face :)
