Emma Bunton’s life was changed 17 months ago when she welcomed her first child, Beau Lee. But the former Spice Girl doesn’t mind at all!

“My whole focus is on my little boy. He is the best thing I’ve ever done. He’s just wonderful, and whatever I can do, I want him to be as healthy as possible,” Emma told Metro.

Emma might be concentrating on her little boy right now, but she’d love to add to her brood in the future!

“I’m just really enjoying this time with Beau at the moment, but yeah, I’d love to have another one. Absolutely.”

With another baby off the agenda for a while, Emma is incredibly excited about the birth of former bandmate Melanie Chisholm’s first child.

“I saw her over Christmas and she’s just wonderful and being on tour with all us girls having all our children with us obviously gave her a bit of a push in the right direction! But she’s going to be so amazing.”

It seems like so many celebrity moms lose their pregnancy weight in an instant, but not Emma Bunton. The former Spice Girl took a slow and steady approach, taking a year to fit into her old jeans.

“I went to the gym two or three times a week and ate healthily. I breastfed so you can’t go on stupid diets,” she said.

Emma maintains her current weight by doing a little exercise and eating sensibly.

“I go for a run or take our dogs for a walk, and I’m almost enjoying it,” she told Daily Mail. “It’s got to be about balance though, being healthy but not letting it rule your life.”

After all, Emma needs to have some time to be a mom to 17-month-old Beau Lee!

“Beau is my all, my life and the reason I’m happier than ever. I’m enjoying being a mummy most of all, he’s so gorgeous.”

With the genes of Emma and her partner Jade Jones, was there ever a doubt?

Melanie Chisholm, aka Spice Girl Mel C, is pregnant with her first child! Mel announced that she is expecting a baby with long-term boyfriend Thomas Starr on her website yesterday.

“Some happy news! Well, I can announce that Tom and I are expecting a baby and we are very happy. As I am sure you’ll understand, we needed time to wait for results and tell our families. Thank you for all you kindness, good wishes and support (even if it was based on speculation!).”

The bub is believed to be due in late winter. Mel C is the last Spice Girl left to have children. Congratulations to her!

All new moms find it hard to return to work: even the stars. Emma Bunton told The Daily Mail that while she had a “great time” on the recent Spice Girls tour, it was tough to keep up after the birth of her son Beau Lee.

“It’s tough for any woman returning to work straight after having a baby. I didn’t want to be in the gym 24 hours a day, instead of being with Beau. And I wanted to breastfeed for the first couple of months,” she explained.

She got stage-ready by doing plenty of walking, but said it still took time before she felt comfortable flaunting her postpartum figure on stage.

“One night, I was up on stage and it just hit me: Hold on, Emma, everyone knows you’ve just had a baby, enjoy it.”

At one point the Spice Girls’ Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham weren’t even speaking. But it seems all is forgiven, with the girls mending their friendship now they’re mellow moms!

Geri has a two-year-old daughter Bluebell, and Victoria is mom to her three boys Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.

“I have huge admiration for Victoria. She had her boys with her the whole time [the Spice Girls were on tour] and she’s done such a great job with them – they are all so well mannered and caring,” Geri told You Magazine. “Victoria and I are actually the biggest supporters of each other. We feel really proud of one another.”

Well that’s certainly singing a different tune! In the same interview Geri also praised her fellow Spice Girl Melanie Brown’s nine-year-old daughter Phoenix Chi. Geri said the little girl is “a delight” who is “amazing with the toddlers.”

I’m so used to those British popettes being catty to one another! I’m sure this is much more fun for their kiddies though!
