Christian Horner’s recent dismissal as Red Bull Racing’s Team Principal has prompted his wife, Geri Horner, to confront significant decisions about their future together.
On Wednesday, 9 July 2025, Red Bull announced the unexpected release of Christian Horner from his operational duties, appointing Laurent Mekies as the new CEO of Red Bull Racing. This move marks a turning point in both Christian’s career and their family life.
Married since 2015, Geri and Christian have weathered public scrutiny before, notably last year when Christian faced allegations of inappropriate behavior towards a colleague. Despite the accusations, Christian was cleared of any wrongdoing after an internal inquiry. However, the situation was complicated when private messages allegedly exchanged between Christian and a staff member leaked unexpectedly, drawing unwanted attention.

Sources close to the couple reveal that Geri is steadfastly supporting her husband amid these recent developments. “Geri is going to stand by her man and is supporting him fully,” one insider shared. “Though her public image matters greatly to her, she’s privately distressed by the renewed media focus this situation brings.”
Red Bull’s official statement also acknowledged Christian’s considerable contributions to the team, with Oliver Mintzlaff, CEO of Red Bull’s Corporate Projects and Investments, expressing gratitude for Horner’s efforts.
The past twelve months have been turbulent for Christian and Geri, but their unity remains strong. Geri previously demonstrated public solidarity by attending the Bahrain Grand Prix alongside her husband during the height of the controversy.
Despite her support, concerns linger. Insiders suggest that Geri worries the recent developments and Christian’s departure may reignite scrutiny around their personal lives. “Image means so much to Geri,” a source explained, “and she knows many will connect this with the leaked messages and last year’s events, making this a challenging period.”
Together since 2015, the couple shares an eight-year-old son, Montague. They also blend families with children from previous relationships—Geri is mother to 18-year-old Bluebell, while Christian co-parents daughter Olivia with his former wife, Beverley Allen.
