Emma Bunton is feeling the love from her fellow Spice Girls.
As Bunton — aka Baby Spice — marked her 50th birthday on Wednesday, Jan. 21, her Spice Girl sisters Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Melanie C and Geri Halliwell-Horner dedicated sweet tributes on social media.
Beckham, 51, shared a black and white throwback photo where she's carrying Bunton on her back on her Instagram Stories. She captioned the post, "Happy birthday @emmaleebunton. I love you so much!!"
Halliwell-Horner, 53, shared a carousel of photos with Bunton, both old and in recent years, on Instagram.
"Happy 50th birthday @emmaleebunton! love you so much, you are such a special person with the biggest heart - grateful to have you in my life 💕 wishing you so much joy and love. 💗," she captioned the post.

Mel C, 52, wished Bunton a happy birthday by sharing a compilation video of their sweetest memories together over the years.
"We have experienced so much together since that day we picked you up in Geri's battered Fiat Uno at Maidenhead station, the day that changed everything," she began in her Instagram post. "I love you with all of my heart. Always there for me and everyone in your life you're the most incredible Mum, bandmate and friend."
She continued, "Happy birthday my love, I can't wait to celebrate you!!!! Have the best day, month and 50th year!! LOVE YOU BABY!"
Bunton reposted the tributes — in addition to others — on her Instagram Stories.
While the idea of a Spice Girls reunion has been thrown around over the years, they've each shared their personal takes.
Most recently, in October, Beckham went on Radio Andy Sirius XM and revealed what she thought about the "idea" of a Spice Girls reunion while discussing her self-titled Netflix docuseries.
“Before I was in the Spice Girls, I was so self-conscious and they made me feel that I was good enough, but being on stage, I realized as fun as it is, you know, it’s not ultimately what I want to do anymore," she told host Andy Cohen.
When his cohost John Hill brought up the idea of Spice Girls performing at the Sphere, she said it was "tempting."
“It would be tempting, but could I take on a world tour? I can’t. I have a job," she said.
The "Wannabe" singers last performed together during the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony.
However, the group was last seen together at the fashion designer's 50th birthday party in April 2024, where they sang their 1996 song "Mama" while Beckham's son Cruz played the guitar.
