Emma Bunton has given birth to a baby boy today, it has been announced.
The Spice Girl and her boyfriend, former pop star Jade Jones, are understood to have named the baby Beau, after the delivery this morning.
He was born in the private London Portland Hospital and mother and son are said to be "doing fine", according to an official spokesman.
"Emma gave birth to a boy at 11.12am this morning. The weight was 7lbs 15oz, which is the same weight as Jade when he was born.
"I believe the name they have chosen is Beau, which is French for handsome", the spokesman explained.
He continued: "The phone's been ringing off the hook, but none of the Spice Girls have called yet. I'm sure they will but they're all out of the country at the moment."
As previously reported, the Spice Girls are due to begin their comeback world tour in Vancouver, Canada in December.document.write(unescape("
