But many were left cringing after they spotted a very embarrassing mistake in Geri's caption.
Geri posted a throwback photo of the pair smiling from the height of their careers back in the 90s.
But she appeared to make a slight oversight when she accidentally posted a message to her publicist Pippa Beng.
The caption read: "Sent images to Pippa and this wording asked her to tweak where needed."

With Geri's intended caption reading: "Happy birthday Mel B. Hope you have an amazing day."
It didn't take long for eagle-eyed fans to pick up on the blunder and poke fun at the star.
One wrote: "Sending much love to Pippa on this day, she might need a wine glass or two."
A second posted: "How did that take 24 minutes to be put right. Oh Pippa, you’ve had a mare babe."

A third said: "Babe you need to sort your social media manager out."
"Pippa, I’d tweak it to add a little more sincerity," another joked.
The caption was later fixed and amended to the correct version.

A BIT SPICY
Just last month, the Spice Girls reunited at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party.
But beneath the glamour and showbiz bonhomie, speculation is rife that a feud is starting to rumble between the women.
Following the success of the Beckhams Netflix documentary, the Spice Girls had reportedly been in talks to create a similar, fly-on-the-wall type show, to to mark their 30th anniversary.
While Victoria, Mel B, Mel C and Emma Bunton were believed to be keen on the idea, Geri is said to be against the documentary, which is thought to have caused a rift between herself and her bandmates.
There are suggestions Geri wasn't up for the project following the difficult period in her marriage to to F1 chief Christian Horner.
Red Bull cleared Horner of any wrongdoing after an internal investigation into alleged sexual harassment and coercive and abusive behaviour by a female employee.
A source told the Daily Mail: "It might have been awkward for Geri to get out there and talk about Girl Power in these circumstances surrounding Christian.
"But in truth even before it all came out she wasn't keen on revisiting those days. She just didn't want to go over all the fun, wild times that they had."
Mel B can’t have been popular with Ginger Spice when she openly told an interviewer recently that none of them know Geri’s real age, because they’ve never seen her passport.
Indeed Geri, 51, was less than pleased with Mel’s comments and reportedly avoided Mel B at the party which was held at private members club Oswalds in Mayfair.
Scary Spice Mel is seen as the motormouth of the group, advertising ticket sales, even though a reunion has not yet been made official.
But it seems that fans on social media have also picked up on a layer of frost covering the now famous photo of the women at the party which has since gone viral.
Commenting on the image:, which shows Mel B appearing to be elbowed out of the picture by Emma Bunton, one fan wrote:
