The electrifying energy of “Wannabe” still reverberates through living rooms and dance floors worldwide, but one familiar face remains conspicuously absent from the Spice Girls’ potential comeback. While Victoria Beckham has traded her platform boots for pointed-toe heels, the fashion designer’s departure from her former group runs deeper than a simple career pivot.
The plot thickens considerably: a 2026 reunion tour—marking the 30th anniversary of their breakout hit—appears to be taking shape. But Posh Spice won’t be joining her former bandmates. The reason? A behind-the-scenes feud with their former manager, Simon Fuller, that’s reached an irreversible breaking point.
A management meltdown splits the Spice Girls
The rift between Victoria Beckham and Simon Fuller didn’t develop overnight. Back in 2018, the Beckham power couple made headlines by purchasing back their contracts from Simon’s XIX Entertainment. A year later, the designer followed suit, severing ties with the man who’d guided the group to global stardom.
With Fuller orchestrating the proposed reunion tour, industry insiders paint a stark picture. “The fact that the Spice Girls are working with Fuller means there’s absolutely no chance Victoria will be involved,” confirmed a source close to the singer-turned-entrepreneur.
The Beckham-Fuller fallout deepens
The family’s decision to hire a new manager for son Cruz recently poured salt in an open wound. This calculated move suggests David and Victoria Beckham aren’t merely distancing themselves from Fuller—they’re drawing a line in the sand.
Perhaps most intriguing: Victoria Beckham isn’t the only one harboring ill will toward their former handler. “The Spice Girls know this and obviously took their chances with Simon,” an insider revealed. “It’s very strange, because the other girls never really liked him either.”
When sisterhood meets business
While Mel B, Mel C, Geri Horner, and Emma Bunton prepare to potentially reignite their Girl Power movement, Victoria remains committed to her fashion empire. Can you blame her? The woman who once declared “I want, I want, I want” in lycra now crafts her own narrative—one where reunion tours simply don’t fit the itinerary.
The tension reveals an uncomfortable truth about band reunions: sometimes the glue that once held everything together becomes the wedge that keeps it apart. For those hoping to see all five Spice Girls share a stage again, this management standoff might just be the final nail in the coffin.
