Geri Horner has named her newborn baby boy after one of her closest friends, George Michael.

The newest addition to the family arrived on Saturday morning - coincidentally the same day as Geri's close friend and fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton.

And Ginger Spice announced the little-un's name on her Instagram: Montague George Hector Horner.

AWW.

They even had celebratory cupcakes with their names iced on.

Now THAT is the kind of family we want to be a part of!

The world was shook on Christmas Day last year when it was announced that George Michael had passed away in his home.

Geri, who was famously very close to the Careless Whisper singer, tweeted after news of his death: "So so sad, RIP George, a dear friend, the kindest, most generous and talented person."

George's ex-partner, Kenny Goss, is even godfather to Geri's daughter Bluebell.

Baby Monty is Geri's first with husband Christian Horner, who she met in 2014. Her daughter, Bluebell Madonna, was born in 2006 and her father is Geri's ex Sacha Gervasi.
