Who was Christian Horner's partner before Geri Halliwell? All about Red Bull F1 boss’ personal life

Before marrying Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, Christian Horner was in a serious relationship with Beverley Allen. Although they never formally married, their relationship from 1999 to 2013, spanning 14 years, was popularly dubbed a marriage because of their common life, home, and a child together. The couple had a daughter named Olivia, whom they welcomed in October 2013, just before their separation.

Allen, a former pub landlord, supported Horner throughout his rise in Formula One. The couple lived on an Oxfordshire estate with dogs, ducks, chickens, and even miniature ponies. Horner also took on the role of stepfather to Allen’s two sons from a previous relationship—Kieron and Liam.

Their separation shortly after Olivia’s birth raised eyebrows, especially when Horner began dating Halliwell in early 2014. According to MailOnline, the quick transition was reportedly why Horner’s parents chose not to attend his wedding to Geri. However, Horner later told Hello! magazine that things have since settled:

“I have a great relationship with Beverley… Geri is great with Olivia, and Olivia has a lovely relationship with Monty.”

A blended family and a fresh start for Christian Horner

Christian Horner and Geri Halliwell got engaged in 2014 and married the following year. Together, they have a son, Montague (born in 2017), and co-parent Geri’s daughter Bluebell from a previous relationship. In interviews, Horner spoke openly about their “blended family,” noting that the children get along well and the dynamic is “harmonious.”

Geri herself has made efforts to build bridges with Allen. A source told Closer magazine in 2017,

“Geri is sick of being painted as a home wrecker. She wants to be a good stepmother to Olivia and believes inviting Beverley over for birthday teas is a good start.”

Over time, the Frosty relations seem to have thawed—something both parents have credited to putting the children first.

From private drama to public scrutiny

Trending

As Christian Horner’s private life appeared to find some peace, his professional life has been more turbulent than ever. The controversy surrounding an internal misconduct investigation, burnout among other F1 personalities, and shifting allegiances within the F1 paddock is the Red Bull Racing Team Principal's latest headline. Christian Horner's recent sacking from Red Bull after two decades as team principal marks the culmination of these problems.

That public pressure also revived interest in his past relationships, especially as Geri Halliwell has remained publicly supportive. As Red Bull enters a new chapter, so does Horner—now navigating life outside the team he helped build, with his blended family likely to be his main source of stability in the turbulence ahead.
