'Victoria and I swap baby tips all the time,' says new mother Emma Bunton as she poses with baby son Tate

Emma Bunton has told how she and fellow ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham have been swapping baby tips after becoming mums again just weeks apart.

The 35-year-old - once known as Baby Spice - gave birth to Tate Lee Jones in May.

‘As soon as we can possibly meet up, we will. But for the moment we’re making do with emails,’ Miss Bunton told Hello! magazine.

‘We’ve been swapping bits of advice and photos and sharing our excitement,’ added Miss Bunton, who also has a three-year-old son, Beau, with partner Jade Jones, 32.

The Dancing On Ice judge said she shares a strong bond with her former band mates – especially now they are all mothers.

‘The first bouquets through the door were from Victoria, Geri (Halliwell) and Mel C. They came with little notes and that is always special to me, to get those from the girls.

'The relationship we girls have will always be special. Now our kids are friends too and as they grow, it will be wonderful to watch them all and the different stages in their lives.'

Miss Bunton gave birth to Tate at London's Portland Hospital on May 6 and said she and Jones both sobbed when they held the 7lb bundle.

She said: 'Mum was busy snapping away with her camera and there is one shot of the three of us: Tate is in my arms and I have tears pouring down my face, Jade is kissing me and he's streaming with tears. It was very emotional!'

After originally announcing her pregnancy last November, the Dancing On Ice judge revealed in February she was expecting another boy with Jones.

And in January, the couple revealed they were engaged after 11 years together.

Miss Bunton has previously spoken of her fears she would never conceive after being diagnosed with endometriosis when she was 25.

She said while pregnant with Beau: 'I remember the doctor saying at the time, "Fifty per cent of women with endometriosis go on to have children." I thought, "Only 50 per cent..." It scared the life out of me. I was frightened.

'I've been so worried for such a long time that I might not be able to be a mum.'

Emma Bunton says pregnancy brings her closer to ex-Spice Girls members

London, Feb 22 – Former Spice Girls member Emma Bunton has revealed that her pregnancy always brings her closer to her ex-bandmates.

Bunton, 35, looked a picture of elegance dressed in a black fur-trimmed coat and patent black Mulberry bag as she was spotted leaving the London Studios with son Beau Lee and fiance Jade Jones.

The mum-of-one, who is expecting her second child, another son, said that a new baby always brings her closer to former band members Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Mel B and Mel C.

“Because we’re all so busy we don’t get to see as much of each other as we’d like but when something like this happens the bond we have shines through,” the Daily Mail quoted her as telling STV.

“It’s like a sisterly relationship and that will always be there.

“In fact Scarlet [Mel C’s daughter] and Cruz [one of Victoria and David Beckham’s son] have birthdays in a few days so it’s a great excuse to get together.

“Because Victoria and I are pregnant we talked about that for a bit then I said, ‘I do have some other exciting news’ and I held up my ring. They jumped out of their seats and hugged and kissed us,” she added.

The former Baby Spice announced her engagement to long-term partner Jones live on Dancing On Ice last month. (ANI)

Pregnant Emma Bunton bonds with bandmates

London, Feb 21 – Emma Bunton says being pregnant has strengthened her ‘bond’ with her former Spice Girls bandmates. 

The 35-year-old, who is expecting her second child with her fiance Jade Jones, doesn’t see Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Mel B or Mel C as often as she would like, reports contactmusic.com

‘Because we’re all so busy we don’t get to see as much of each other as we’d like but when something like this happens the bond we have shines through. It’s like a sisterly relationship and that will always be there,’ she said.

The singer, who has three-year-old son Beau with Jade, also revealed the former bandmates use family occasions as an excuse to get together and socialise.

‘In fact Scarlet (Mel C’s daughter) and Cruz (Victoria and David Beckham’s son) have birthdays in a few days so it’s great excuse to get together.’

Emma is particularly close to Victoria and David, who are currently expecting their fourth child, and she recently enjoyed celebrating her engagement with the couple.

‘Because Victoria and I are pregnant, we talked about that for a bit then I said, ‘I do have some other exciting news’ and I held up my ring. They jumped out of their seats and hugged and kissed us,’ she said.
