It comes after Mel B claimed in a recent interview that Geri has lied about her age for years, saying Ginger Spice is not 51 years old.
And after the interview, the pair are said to have stayed apart at Victoria’s party over the weekend, before Mel B allegedly tried to offer her an olive branch.
A source told the publication: “Mel tried to smooth things over with Geri at the party, but it didn’t go as planned.” She was laughing about it all, but Geri didn’t seem interested in listening to what she had to say and she walked away from her.
‘When it came time to take the group photo, Geri stayed as far away from Mel as possible, which was awkward to watch.
“Geri wanted to be there to celebrate and laugh with everyone, not talk to Mel about the embarrassing things he’s said about her.”
MailOnline has contacted Mel B and Geri’s representatives for comment.
After posing together as a five for a photo, the former band were seen singing their 1997 hit Stop Together later that night, in footage captured by David Beckham. But again the pair were on opposite ends of the line.

It comes after Mel B admitted last month that she “doesn’t believe” Geri was born in 1972, despite celebrating her 50th birthday last year.
Speaking to Olivia Attwood on her hit podcast So bad it’s right Mel said it’s “wrong” to lie about your age and that people should be more “accepting” of it.
She said: ‘Oh no, that’s wrong. Yes, I feel like we should stop doing that. Accept your age.’
Olivia added: “My mom was here the other day and she was like, Oh no, that’s right, because I don’t even know how old he is.”
Mel B added: ‘No, well, no one knows how old Geri is. No one has seen her passport. I mean, I know we’ve traveled the world, but I still don’t know how old she is.
“Well, she claims she just turned 50, but I don’t believe her.”
The Spice Girls are a girl group that formed in 1994 with Beckham (Posh Spice), Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) and Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice).
The group is known for releasing hits such as Wannabe (1996), which helped launch their career in the industry, as well as 2 Become 1 (1996) and Viva Forever (1997).
Amid the success, a Spice Girls movie titled Spice World was released in theaters and became a box office hit.
However, in 2000, the group went on hiatus while the members focused on their own solo careers.
The artists reunited from 2007 to 2008 for the Return Of The Spice Girls tour and once again for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
In 2019, the group reunited once again to embark on a Spice world tour, but Beckham did not join.
Last month in March, Mel B declared that the Spice Girls would reunite for their 30th anniversary amid rumors during an appearance on Loose women.
‘We’re definitely doing something… I’m probably going to get scolded, but I already said it, here we go! We are doing something this year. I’m in trouble now…’ she stated at the time.
However, in February, Melanie C said Sun from Mel B: “I adore her and she has this thing, and sometimes that can get us in trouble.” Of course, we’re always talking, we’d love to do something else.”
David and Victoria are seen returning home in the early hours after the party amidst her foot injury.
LR: Romeo, Cruz, Victoria, Harper, David and Brooklyn posed together while heading to the family party.
“I’d love to get back on stage with the girls, but everyone wants to do something a little different or in a different way, so it’s about everyone being on the same page at the same time.”
He added: “But Melanie likes to say things and believes that if she says it enough, it will happen.” “I can’t confirm that anything is going to happen soon, but we are always talking about opportunities.”
Earlier this month, Victoria gave an update on the Spice Girls’ 30th anniversary reunion while speaking to Radio France.
‘We have a group chat, I talk to all the girls. It would be wonderful for us to do something to celebrate – a dinner or a lunch – and remember, but yeah, it won’t be more than that.’
